Mauves and Purples

Pinterest/Elegant Wedding/Powers Studios

Lavender beat out Millennial Pink as the popular color in 2018, and in 2019, mauves are the coolest upgrade. These shades can range from almost-grey to deep purples, but they’re sure to look beautiful for a fall or winter wedding. Be sure all the bridesmaids try on their shade, though, as some purples and greys can wash certain skin tones out.

Blush

Pink has long been the ultimate Southern girl’s bridesmaid dress color of choice, and that hasn’t changed. However, the shades of pink have muted a bit, bringing us gorgeous blush tones that range from baby pink to pink-toned beiges for understated elegance.

Dusty Blues

Pinterest/MODwedding/Julie Cate Photography

Dusty blue is the perfect rustic shade for any time of year. Like mauves, these shades can get into the grey range, which is on-trend for modern brides. A great neutral that still has that baby-blue wedding whimsy, dusty blue is definitely here to stay.

Like we said earlier, Southern girls love some ruffles. Bridesmaid dresses are still featuring ruffles but in understated and simple ways. Ruffles can make a dress look preppy and feminine or boho and laidback, depending on the style.
