Dress your Wedding Party

When picking out wedding colors for your wedding party to wear, reflect on the skin tones, hair colors and body types you are dealing with. Some colors, such as pastels, only truly complement dark skinned individuals. Your lighter skinned friends will look washed out. Furthermore, a color such as black or navy blue has a slimming effect. If you have bridesmaids who are a bit self-conscious about their appearance, picking a deeper color will slenderize them upon wearing.

The male members of your wedding party know it is your big day…but that does not necessarily mean they are willing to wear baby blue or fuchsia in front of an audience. Take under consideration the style and color palette the men participating in your ceremony typically wear. When in doubt, the traditional black and white tuxedo always looks dashing.
