Our Own Wedding: Bridesmaids in White?

I am starting to toy with color schemes and other wedding design ideas. For over a year now, I’ve loved black, white, and green as a color scheme. Then I made a post about those colors. That post is by far the most-viewed on this blog, and that color palette is popping up all over the web. I’m not sure that I want to have the same wedding design as so many other brides. Then again, if I love it so much, does it really matter?

Anyway, one of the other color schemes I’m considering is white. Yep, just shades of white. Maybe with a few hints of beige and gold. I haven’t created an inspiration board for this scheme yet. I’m planning a future mega-post, with a few different inspiration boards, to see my choices side-by-side.

Instead, I’m bringing to the blog the bridesmaids’ look. I love the look of whites, especially when each bridesmaid chooses her own dress, of any style. Evidence that this looks beautiful, courtesy of Jasmine Star:

Upon seeing this photo, I headed to my go-to source for dresses, Nordstrom, then to a great shoe shop, Zappos, to create this possible bridal party look.

It would be so nice and easy to tell my bridesmaids to find a white dress and a neutral shoe, and leave it at that. I definitely plan on making things easy for my bridesmaids. This can be done with any color really. It is done a lot with black, and I’ve seen images all over the web with all sorts of different bridal party looks. There really are no rules anymore, and I’m loving it!
