papaya shadows the pink and the pink looks spectacular

Answer 2

I think the pink and papaya would probably be your best choice, especially when you consider photos and video. The only way I think the wine would look better is if any of the bridesmaids are plus-sized women.
I have seen a few friends wedding videos and a have found that when you use darker colors, they tend to ruin things. The soft colors you showed should look great in the wedding. Remember to consider things like lighting, too.
If you need any further help, ask some friends who know something about photography or video. Also, you could check out how these colors look under different light.
You only get one chance to make this day PERFECT.

Congratulations.

Is your dress in pink and white? If your dress is pink and white, then you should do a bridesmaid gown in either the same pink as your dress or a pink in the same color family--either a few shades darker or a few shades lighter. Can you get the papaya colored dress in pink? If so, go for that dress if it's your favorite. I don't like the pink and wine together. It's too much. I really would suggest going for a pink--either a light pink or a dark pink, but since there's pink in your dress, I wouldn't do any other colors. Not an orange like papaya nor a berry color like wine. With both of these dresses, you can get them in other colors than what you see in the pictures. Also, as with all dresses (as you realize from your own gown as you say that the picture doesn't do it justice), you have to go and look at them in person and have one of your maids try them on. Find a store in your area that carries the Jim Hjelm Occassion dresses and bring your maid of honor and another maid with a different body type and have the two girls both try on the same dresses. You may find that you love one more than the other, hate both or find something completely different that you love. But, as for color only, I'd suggest a pink. Any other color will either overshadow your dress (the wine is too powerful for your pale pink in your dress) or clash with your dress.

Congratulations and good luck!

Answer 4

First about the wedding dress. Very nice. I trust you're having a spring or summer wedding and getting married during the day??? (dark colors only work well at night or for fall or winter weddings). Second, because your wedding dress has pink in it you almost HAVE to have your bridesmaids wear pink! I like the first bridesmade dress you gave the link to. Very simple, elegant, and classy. Naturally you would have to have it PINK because anything else would clash with your dress. Otherwise, what color bridesmaid dresses do you think would compliment a pink and white wedding dress????

Answer 5

All the dresses are beautiful!
I would choose the papaya dress for a spring/summer wedding in the morning or afternoon hours.
The wine color would be good for an evening wedding any time of year or a daytime winter wedding.

So think about the atmosphere you want to create - light and fresh, casual or formal, etc. Once you have a vision for your special day, it will be easier to choose which dress fits your theme.

Thanks for asking - this was fun!

Answer 6

Well, If I have to choose one of them I'd say the second one! You're right that your dress is beautiful!! But why can't you go with a pink of some kind as a bridesmaids dress? Just curious! Good luck, I'm sure you'll look beautiful no matter what!

Answer 7

Let me congratulate you on your beautiful gown, but in my opinion I don't think papaya look will be good together with your gorgeous white and pink gown. The papaya style is awesome. Maybe you can have another pastel colour, if you don't want it pink too.

Answer 8

i like the dress that you like the best, but I would pick it in another color.

Did you notice the swatch colors that the dress is available in?

you could pick the dress in a blush (may be too close to your dress though, which is absolutely gorgeous!) or a raspberry, Bordeaux, black(Very cool with pink!), indigo(pretty with pink too) or a purple color.

Congrats and I hope i helped you!

Answer 9

umm...ok well...if thats the wedding dress you really want then I would match the dressed to the pink of your dress. both colours you have picked out dont match at all and will clash like crazy. i would put them in pink or white, but nothing else unless you want it to look really tacky. its not that pink and wine dont go togehter (pink and papaya deffinitely dont mix) but when your dress is 2 different colours...pink and white...throwing a nother dreee colour in there looks really funny.

Answer 10

first of all, your wedding dress is GORGEOUS and probably does look a lot better in person.
as for the bridesmaids, they both look beautiful although i can't see the front of them :P i think i like the second one more though (wine color)
it all depends on your colors you chose for your wedding though. but from looking at your wedding dress, i think the second one goes a lot better with it, and i just like it more :)

congratulations, and good luck!
