Dark pink bridesmaid dress with black sash?

Question

Hi,

I'm having a May 2007 elegant evening wedding and my favorite color is pink (not pale pink) but almost like a raspberry pink. I fell in love with this bridesmaid dress and have been trying to decide on color combos for ages. I finally decided on the tulip dress- bright but not fuschia pink, with either a black, brown or silver sash. Please tell me what you think, or if there is another color I am missing.

You can mix and match whichever colors you want from the color chart.
All 5 of my girls are thin with amazing bodies, and the dress looks great on them.

Sorry it is a May 2008 wedding, you can see how frazzled I am??

Answer 1

I think that the best choice is the raspberry pink, as previously stated, with a black sash. This will add an edge as well as elegance to the ensemble.

Answer 2

i think the dress is nice. but not very "bridesmaidy". It looks more like a wedding dress to me. Just be aware of the women who will be wearing this dress. Strapless is not for everybody. It can be very hard to pull off.

However, if you have your heart set-on it. I like the Iris/Latte or the Coral/Sunkissed combo. It doesn't come in a bright pink/black or bright pink/combo according to the color chart provided on the website you provided.

Answer 3

i love the dress, and i love the color combo you are thinking of. i think the dark pink would be perfect, and the black sash would look amazing, altho i would go with the silver sash for a wedding.

Answer 4

I think a slightly darker pink in the same color value will really compliment the color you choose. It will not be a strong contrast, but a subtle classy contribution to the choice of your color of pink.
