6 Unexpected Bridesmaid Dress Colors We Love

Your bridesmaids dresses can simply add a pop of color to your big day, serve as a neutral complement to beautiful bouquets or set the tone for your color palette! Don’t be afraid to think outside the box—the color you chose could match all your décor or be completely different and stand on its own.

Go neutral for your ceremony and surprise guests with a vibrant reception…or vice versa! If colorful floral is most important to you, choose a light color that will complement your style. Looking for a classy touch? Choose a dark metallic.

With an abundance of styles, patterns and colors, there are plenty of ways to make your bridesmaids truly unique! Here are six unexpected bridesmaid dress color we absolutely love…and you will, too!


1. Classic Black

Black bridesmaid dresses are perfect for creating a sophisticated, elegant look. For a classic vibe, keep it sleek and simple, like this Jenny Yoo Kayleigh dress with a high neckline and stunning open back. Or, add a touch of romance with Hayley Paige Occasions’ flowy 5815. Sorella Vita’s dazzling sequin 8718 is a great way to add a little sparkle for a luxe look…and it’s perfect for a New Year’s Eve wedding! Pair with polished black tuxes for the ultimate black-tie bridal party!

2. Elegant Emerald

Emerald City, here we come! We love this bold jewel tone and all the ways to dress it up. Go for elegance with Mori Lee’s classic off-the-shoulder 21596, or Jenny Yoo’s romantic V-neck Jade dress. For a cozy, wintry look, try a velvet bodice, like gorgeous B2 dress! Emerald pairs perfectly with white and gold and is an excellent way to add a vibrant pop of color to the luxurious palette.

3. Dove Gray

Subtle but stunning. Light grays are great for adding simplicity to a colorful bouquets, but can also add extra layer of dimension to minimalist whites and ivories. Sorella Vita’s 9098 in Platinum and Hayley Paige Occasions’ boho 5854 are perfect for romantic outdoor weddings and complement a woodsy setting perfectly (like the in the photo below!). For a more upscale look, try Allure Bridals’ 1559, with its high halter neck and side slit. Mix and match an array of grays or keep it all the same and pair with white flowers and lush greenery for a dreamy look that’s sure to make you swoon!

4. Bold Yellow

If you’re looking for a unique color, this is it! Bold yellow is sure to bring an extra bit of happiness to your big day…and a touch of sunshine! This color works best for boho outdoor weddings. We love Jenny Yoo’s Alanna dress in Chartreuse, with its flutter sleeves and open back. Make it more chic by adding a touch of shine with Show Me Your MuMu’s Godshaw Goddess Gown in Honey Gold Sheen. Pair yellow dresses with navy suits for a sophisticated coastal look, or wild greenery and cream décor for a classic boho vibe.

5. Radiant White

Who says white is just for the bride? You’ll love this color for coastal destination weddings. Your wedding party will pop perfectly against the soft tones of sandy beaches and white-capped waves. This Katie May dress is like something from a dream—simple with a touch of elegance. For boho brides, try Watters’ Deni dress in White, with its breathtaking floating off-the-shoulder sleeves. Or, get the best of both worlds with this gorgeous Hayley Paige Occasions’ high-neck open-back chiffon dress! Go for a radiant all-white theme with lush greenery for an elegant look, or make it fun by adding a tropical pop of color!

6. Shimmery Mismatched Neutrals

Patterned metallic neutrals are easy to mix-and-match and perfect for any season! Try all-over sparkle dresses, like this strapless Christina Wu Celebration dress in Latte, Allure Bridals’ 1514 in Gold and Show Me Your Mumu’s Renee Ruffle Maxi Dress in Dancing Queen Shine Blush (with a name like that, you can’t go wrong!). Dresses with metallic patterns like Wtoo by Watters’ 652 and Sorella Vita’s 9086, break away from the norm and add an extra level of dimension in photos. Neutrals go well with classic light pink and ivory. Or, pair with rich burgundy for a moody, romantic look.
