So, I decided to go with grey-blue bridesmaid dresses for my wedding. I just loved the idea of this unique color, and I thought it would look stunning on my girls.
Finding the Right Shade
The first step was figuring out the exact shade of grey-blue I wanted. I learned that there are like a million shades of grey alone, not to mention when you add blue into the mix. After hours of scrolling through Pinterest and online shops, I narrowed it down to a dusty blue with grey undertones. It seemed like a good balance, and I read somewhere that it works well for different wedding themes. I didn’t want anything too bright or too dark.
Mismatched Dresses
I really liked the idea of mismatched dresses, I’d seen it on a few wedding blogs and it looked cool, but I also heard it can be tricky to pull off. After some deep thinking, I decided to go for it. My plan was to have all the dresses in the same dusty blue color but let each bridesmaid choose a style they liked and felt comfortable in.
Shopping Time
Once I had a color in mind, it was time to shop. I emailed my bridesmaids and asked them to send me links to any dresses they liked that matched the color. Some were into flowy, chiffon-type dresses, while others preferred something more structured. The dusty blue color looked great in different fabrics, so that wasn’t a problem.
Accessories and Shoes
We decided to keep the accessories simple and let the dresses be the main focus. For shoes, I suggested a neutral color like nude or champagne, and everyone seemed to agree. Some of my friends recommended silver or grey shoes, but I thought that might be too much grey.
The Big Day
On the wedding day, everything came together beautifully. The mismatched grey-blue dresses looked amazing. Everyone seemed happy with their choices, and they all looked comfortable and confident. I think I may have chosen one of the more affordable options for the dresses as well.
So, that’s my story of how I ended up with grey-blue bridesmaid dresses. It was a bit of a process, but I’m so happy with how it all turned out. My advice to anyone considering this color: go for it! Just be prepared to spend some time finding the perfect shade and navigating the world of mismatched dresses.
