    I am going to have 4 bridesmaids and 2 maids of honors. The 4 bridesmaids are going to be wearing light purple . My 2 sisters are going to be wearing a different color. Which color goes best with the Wisteria color? http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Satin-Strapless-Ballgown-with-Sweetheart-Neckline-84066

    What about a different shade of purple?

    I agree. A darker shade of purple would look really pretty. Like Khloe Kardashian's wedding.

    I think maybe the wine beside it would be a nice gradient of the lighter purple, or maybe the darker lapis.

    If you want to do a completely different colour, keep in mind that whatever the bridesmaid's dress colour is will usually play a role in the rest of your wedding  So, make sure you pick something you're comfortable with putting all over.

    If you're looking for another match, I kind of like lavendar with navy.  Or maybe a charcoal?

    I agree with another shade of purple, or maybe pink. These colors would go well with flowers as well.

    I think it depends on the mood and vibe of your wedding.  Since you're having a summer wedding, another nice pastel would look really pretty...yellow and purple are complimentary colors so they look really lovely together.  Then again, I personally am not a big fan of yellow, though I've seen some people look really beautiful in yellow...so if your MOH are game, I think that would be a really nice compliment, and would go well with the summer feel.

    Or, maybe a pastel peach, or pink, or soft green.  Or even a pastel blue...though I also like the idea of a darker purple.  I'm weird though, I'd want some sort of consistancy, whether it be two pastels, or two purples...but not like, a light purple and a dark blue.  Not htat it wouldn't look nice, but I'm just funky with colors and like them to have a connection in my mind.

    Anywho the wisteria is a very nice shade of purple, and honestly I think any color you chose would compliment nicely.

    I second the wine color (or a darker shade of purple).

    I think the Wine, Victorian Lilac, or Sangria would look good with the Wisteria color you have already picked out.

    If you'r elooking for another purple, I think the sangria would look pretty with it. Idf not, then a pink color.

    I am now thinking of doing it with the pool - light blue color. I do like how the dark and light purple goes together but I really wanted to stick to lighter more summer like colors.

    I like Pool or Regency. Pool would be good for a Summery look. But personally I would rather have a dark purple or light green. You could do silver too if you're into that.
