With every colour in the rainbow vying for your attention when it comes to choosing your bridesmaids colours, it can be a tough decision to make! Today we’re sharing seven stunning bridesmaid choices from previous real weddings we’ve featured – we hope these gorgeous girls help inspire your colour choice…

Diana initially wanted a sage green theme for the bridesmaids. She ordered from Oasis and after the bridesmaids tried the dresses on they agreed it looked washed out. So they went back and forth brainstorming and Diana picked Olive green which looked stunning on all three bridesmaids.

“I hoped each one of my bridesmaids received a dress that matched their personality, figure and made them feel gorgeous so we opted for the same colour in different styles. The groomsmen were to wear black tux like my husband but after visualising our wedding day we agreed for a small summer wedding we’d love to see lighter colours and less formal silhouettes. We paired sand colour suits with olive green ties.”

“Environmental sustainability is really important to us both and we wanted to make sure we were conscious of this when choosing outfits. Wallis got all of the bridesmaid dresses second hand on a clothes swap app. She got her own dress from a supplier of previous season sample dresses, a company called Bridal Reloved. Ross wore his family tartan and his groomsman rented a kilt.”

Catherines bridesmaids wore pastel midi dresses with cowl necks and bows on each shoulder. Catherine sourced the fabric from Threads of Green in Kilkenny, and the dresses were beautifully made by Magic Stitch in Killarney. Diane brought their vision to life perfectly!

Fiona’s bridesmaids wore dusky rose dresses, each with a different style to suit each of their shapes and heights. The groomsmen wore similar suits to the Robert. To match Fiona and Robert’s comfort priority, the wedding party also wore Converse shoes.

From the very beginning, Donna knew she wanted the bridesmaids in champagne, with white roses and baby’s breath, with the boys in tuxedos (even if they didn’t agree).
