    Hello ladies!!This sounds crazy, but i belive that sertain colors pop in pictures and just overall made the picture look better. I know most of it comes down to the photographer...so since i cant decide on what blue... ill just get your opinions :) Thanks

    Why don't you use all? I love when the bridesmaids are in different shades of the same color!

    I think Capri blue or Cornflower pops the most, the darker ones, like the Navy look like it's making the dress loose the details.

    They're all so pretty!

    I really like the darkest one (2nd to last) the best but I think the cornflower goes best with your inspiration board.

    thecolorteale    June 5, 2010 ...yeah we changed it a 3rd & final time.   Chattanooga, TN

    I voted for Blue Velvet because it was dark like sapphire (september's birthstone) but not so dark that night time photos would lose the vibrant blue. Horizon was my 2nd favorite.

    I think horizon is the perfect color for a fall wedding....it is a bit dark, yet has enough brightness to really pop in pictures.  It is the perfect inbetween color!

    Where are the dresses from?  I'm looking at similar colors (the brighter ones at least) for my August wedding.  I love the selection you found!

    The second to last/darkest (I think it's Marine) is my favorite. I think it's a great fall color!

    Sept is my birth month and I agree that blue velvet looks like the sapphire. It wil show up in the pics as well.

    LOVE horizon!

    I think the lighter colors like capri blue and cornflower (I think those are them) to me say summer/spring not September.

    I think (as a photographer) that Horizon would pop the best...

    Thanks ladies :) Looks like the horizon and blue velvet are winning. I like the idea of the september stone being the same color as the blue velvet. Cool idea!

    All the dresses but the last one are from Davids bridal. The last one is from Alfred Angelo.

    Where is the wedding?  I like cornflower.  Looks like it would be nice in the evening and since it's a lighter color, it usually is still kind of warm in Sept., so it would look nice in my opinion.  I also like the idea posted of using all the colors, that would look very nice.

    I'm September 11 and my bridesmaids are wearing blue too! I vote with all the different colours, that's what we're doing. Blue looks so great when it's mismatched! Where are the dresses from??? My girls would love them!

    I had an evening wedding in September last year and I guess you could say we had the cornflower color? It looked really nice in pics, but your color scheme suggests something darker...I would go with either the navy or blue velvet...

    I love the cornflower! But I may be biased as it would look really good with my blonde hair and light blue eyes LOL!

    I have been having this conversation with myself for 6 months. I *Just* decided to go with the Blue Velvet and went searching for pics when I found your post. I really like the idea of doing the different shades if you plan on getting picking out the same dress for everyone. We are doing different dresses so I went with the one color look.
