Make Your Bridesmaids Happy: 5 Colors That Flatter

Choosing bridesmaids dresses that your friends actually like can be challenging, and the color plays a big part in whether or not they’ll like the dress. But if you have a diverse group of friends, choosing a color that they all like and look good in can be pretty tough. Luckily there are a few hues that flatter pretty much everyone. While we can’t promise they’ll love these five colors (pink is one of those colors you either love or hate!), we can promise that they’ll look pretty great in them.

1. Navy Blue. This classic color is as versatile as black but a bit more fun and modern. And it’s definitely a color your crew can wear again and again.

4. Blush. Another big trend for 2013 for bridesmaids (and brides!), barely-there pink dresses create a romantic and ethereal vibe on your big day. And letting your girls choose their own dresses is a safe bet with blush; in fact, the more variety there is, the dreamier it looks.
