Can't decide on my bridesmaid dress color...?

I'm choosing between sage and rose pink. The groomsmen will have matching vests and ties. Let me know what you think - thanks!

P.S. This is for an indoor spring wedding in Michigan.

P.P.S. Here is the dress I'm considering:

Answer 1

I love the dresses! I like sage, because when you think of spring you think of green (green trees, green plants, etc) and since the wedding is in spring, it makes sense. I would get the sage, then add a mixture of pink & green flowers. Ask your bridemaids to decide. Go with your heart! Have a wonderful wedding!

Answer 2

You are a very thoughtful bride, the last two weddings I was in the dresses cost over $250. Both colors are beautiful What's your favorite color? Also since the dresses are so inexpensive it won't cost that much extra to replace the sashes. You can do the sash in the other color since sage and pink complement each other so well.

Answer 3

gorgeous dress! marvelous price! what a considerate bride you are!! this is a dress your girls can wear again and again!
i love the pink! but the sage is gorgeous as well. what about putting your maid of honor in one color and the bridesmaids in the other!
whatever you choose they are beautiful colors that will suit almost anybody's coloring and body style!
as for the groomsmen, they rent their gear so if they don't like wearing pink or sage or a print with both colors in their vest - tell them to suck it up! they aren't stuck with it forever!
your girls are going to love their gowns!
congrats on your upcoming wedding! good luck and best wishes!

That is exactly the dress my daughter is having for her bridesmaids. She chose her own dress to be a light toffee, and the bridesmaids didn't all want dark colors so she chose two of them to be in a mocha color, and two in medium brown.

You know, if you like both colors, you should be able to use both! And the groomsmen can have cumberbunds of a combination of both colors. You can have maid or matron of honor in one color and the other gals in another color, or half of one and half of the other. What ties it all in is your ribbon, the flowers, the ties and/or cumberbunds for the men, the table decor, the favors!

I saw a wedding once where each girl had one color of the rainbow, and the dress styles were the same, so it was all elegant! And the flowers sort of reflected the colors in each.

Have a great time, and I loved your choice of dress..

Answer 5

Love the dresses! I would do sage, then you can use pink flowers to accent rather than having the guys wear pink vest and ties.

Answer 6

Both colors would be lovely - why not ask the BMs what they'd prefer? If possible, have them try on the dresses so they can see which color would be more flattering to the skin tones.

Here's a bride that did green dresses similar to yours:

This one used green dresses and pink wraps:

Answer 7

I think the sage would look beautiful in this style.

But then again, if you go with the rose pink you can add a black sash aroung the waist to make it look nicer, make it pop.

Still, I would stick to the sage.

Answer 8

you should apply the two colours...have your bridesmaids interior the peridot and the moh interior the chocolate or vice versa. My MOH's gown became right into a sprint distinctive then the bridesmaids. i had to stand out a sprint from them. sounds like a staggering decision of colours. Your wedding ceremony is going to be appealing.

Answer 9

Sage would be a more complimentary colour for all skin tones. You can accent with pink if you'd like to tie that colour in.

Answer 10

I like the sage, and the idea of having pink flowers to complement it.
