Did you know blue is in the top 5 popular color schemes for weddings? That comes as no surprise to us since it can be done in so many different ways! This month we are hi-lighting the calming shades of blue and the various ways it can compliment your personal aesthetic. We’ve seen icy blues stand out in modern themed weddings, turquoise shades playing with cowboy boots for rustic tastes, and even rich navy and teal tones for the unique celestial vibe. This versatile color really does it all, and we love to see it. We have you and your bridesmaid covered! ⁠Let’s take a dive into each aesthetic.

The modern wedding is fresh, sleek, and sophisticated. You can expect monochromatic color palettes and minimal, yet on-trend decor. Most often, the venue itself is the main focus for a modern style wedding, which allows other decor elements to be left clean and clear. If you want to bring some color into the night, any muted tone will add the right amount of class. Baby blue is one of the most popular modern wedding shades. The dusty blue theme is perfect for this bright and airy vibe. Shop these bridesmaid dresses below. Try adding a nude or white heel and some classic diamond jewelry to complete your sleek look.

A rustic wedding showcases the more organic, rural, and rough around the edges side of weddings. Picture farm weddings with a beautiful barn and string lights, or outdoor weddings with a taste of boho on a mountaintop. Anything with a homey, slower vibe. Cowbells and mason jars are most likely making an appearance, as they should. Anything with a casual, rugged, and natural vibe can fit in the rustic category. For your bridesmaid dresses, you can go light and bright, rich turquoise, or even a combination of both. These tones look so nice with a warm shade of brown cowboy boots.

This is one of the newer up and coming trends for weddings. As the likings of astrology, space, and esoterics begins to a rise, so do the fairy like trends that complement it. This decor is inspired by anything relating to the sky, outer space, and celestial bodies. This includes the moon, sun, stars, clouds, planets, astrology, etc. This is for anyone envisioning a sultry, boho, and romantic vibe for their wedding day. This theme will include a lot of gold or silver accents, so for bridesmaid dresses, you can go for dusty blue, teal, or even dark navy. Combine all the colors for a gradient that mirrors the night sky. To get even more into this look, add some boho booties or a whimsical strappy sandal.
