Bridesmaid Gowns' Color Horrors
March 24th 2011 03:35
Mint green. Peach. Light pink. Those were colors I have worn as a bridesmaid or as part of the bridal entourage. No matter how nice the cuts of the dresses were, the colors just made the gowns look like a major fail.
TLC weddings published a list of "10 Colors Your Bridesmaids Don't Want to Wear". Here are the colors and my thoughts on them:
1. Salmon. I agree!! The salmon color belongs on the fish and nowhere else.
2. Gold. Well, I like gold. I think there are certain shades of gold that can be flattering to a certain skin tone, so it depends on the hue.
3. Silver. Hello tin bridesmaids! Hello robot bridesmaids! I agree with this. ALTHOUGH I have worn a greyish silver bridesmaid dress and it was really pretty. No aluminum silver, that's the rule.
4. Poo green. Or snot green. Or phelgm green. (See mint green)
5. Peach. YES! I don't know how this is flattering. Peach belongs in a bowl with lots of cream. Mmmm.
6. Prison jumpsuit orange. Haha! All they need is a ball and chain with this color. Tsk tsk. Beware this color lest you want a riot to form.
7. Barney purple. NOOOOOOO. If you want to use purple, please choose a shade closer to eggplant, which is flattering to most colorings.
8. Aqua. I think this would look great for those with a creamy complexion, but not for brown-skinned gals like me though. It doesn't work. Not for me anyway. Besides, a whole gang of aqua dresses? Makes me feel like drowning.
9. Neon. The '80s called and they want their gowns back.
10. School bus yellow. Unless the bride/groom is Big Bird, then this is just so not appropriate. I agree TLC!
