turquoise and dark eggplant are both lovely colors, that should be re-wearable enough. if black fits into your color scheme that's great, but I wouldn't add it just for the sake of bridesmaid's dresses.
Don't stress so much, it's not good for your health.
I think you can pick any colour you want. BUT....if you want the ladies to wear the dress again, black is probably the most likely scenario. No matter what colour you pick there may be someone who doesn't like it, but black is almost universally liked.
I think a lot can be done with splashes of colour.
I would juet be sure to order them 4 months out... so you still have time.
My girls wore purple but when I first mentioned the color theme both hubby and my parents seemed a little less than crazy about the idea. I honestly think they were just afraid it would look like Barney blew up on everything.
I still wanted purple so I went with it but just balanced it out. For example, the guys wore white and black, no purple vests or ties, just the littlest bit of purple on their socks. Also, for the girls, I found dress that also had cream in them. Our invites were just plain white with a simple silver border.
I guess my advice is go with the color you like but be open to using other accent colors or toning it down.
thanks for the pics and the advice!
My wife-to-be and I had a great discussion last night, and we agreed on our wedding colours, and how we will dress our attendants.
We've decided it will be easier and everyone will love us if we dress them is basic black, and add our colours with shawls, ties, flowers, etc. Now that I've been thinking about it some more, I think it wil look really classy!
As a bride who's chosen turquoise as an accent color, it is nearly impossible to match it with other brands' versions of turquoise.. It's also equally impossible to find flowers to match it if you want flowers with color, not just white callas or roses. So, I say, go for black! I've had to be pretty creative to find flowers with color that will go with turquoise and to find the right shade of turquoise for dresses!
I am so lost on my color scheme and bridesmaid dresses too. So hard to choose...totally didn't expect planning a wedding to cause so much anxiety. I just put up a post needing advice. I was thinking old hollywood, then more organic looking drawing the green from outside the windows in...then it was black and white, then it was greyish purple. Help me people pretty please. I just put up a post with some pictures but I need to order my bridesmaid dresses for our May wedding and I want to cry because I just cant make a darn decision :-(

hi there,
ok so I have 3 lovely BMs, no MOH, two live in the same city, one is long distance. I never realized how difficult it was going to be to choose a dress and color they would all agree on and feel happy about!
all the eco-chic and off-beat wedding tips say to forget about matching, new dresses. They hate them, never wear them again, wasteful, etc. I really would like the dresses to be affordable and "wear-again" for them!
Wedding is 9 months away, but how soon do we need to choose our colours? I wanted to go with turquoise, since we're on the ocean, but one girl hates wearing blue. My fiancee loves purple, so I though a dark eggplant would be lovely.
Now I'm wondering if I should just let them wear black, and add the colors with shawls, the flower bouquets, and such.
How else is co-ordinating their entire wedding with their chosen colors?? Invites, deco, attire... it all seems like too much for me!!
