    We are getting married at a Hudson Valley barn in the beginning of June. My dress is very classic/pretty formal, and I'd really like to keep the bridesmaid dresses long to match the style. We are getting married in the very late afternoon (probably 4:30 or 5:00).

    The bridesmaid dresses I'm looking at are chiffon, but despite the lightweight material, do you think navy is an inappropriate color given the atmosphere/time of year? I'm also considering a bright plum-ish purple, or several shades of ivory/light gold.

    Any insight would be appreciated!!

    Thanks!!

    I think navy would be fine. just because its a darker color doesnt mean it doesnt fit in the with a summer wedding espeically if you paired it with a lighter color, like the ivory/gold or even yellow!

    @totheislnds: That's true. We are planning on pairing navy and khaki for the guys, and I'm using very bright, vibrant colors for the flowers. Thanks! Smile

    I'm getting married in August and my girls will be in solid navy. I would just have them carry brighter flowers. :)

    @neenbean15: I think the the kahki/navy for the guys and bright vibran flowers it would be a PERFECT summer, classic rustic/barn wedding!  I think it would be GORGEOUS! :)
