Green can be a surprisingly versatile and varied color. Different shades of green will have very different moods, which means that there is a shade of green that will be great for every style of wedding. You just need to choose a green that fits in with the general style of your wedding, and from there find bridesmaid dresses in a fabric and cut that works with the look of the bride's gown.



Lime green is a fresh and cheerful option for a spring or summer wedding. If your wedding style leans towards the classic, look for lime silk shantung strapless bridesmaid dresses which look perfect with a crisp white sash and pearl jewelry. For the bridesmaid bouquets, pink and green hydrangeas would be wonderful with this style of dress. This style would be right at home at a wedding held at a country club, yacht club, or a private home.

If your style is more modern, take it up a notch with chartreuse green bridesmaid dresses in a sexy silk charmeuse. The perfect cut for this color and fabric combination is an empire waisted dress with a slightly gathered skirt that falls to above the knee. A bouquet of orchids would be spectacular paired with this dress. It is a fresh and sassy look that is fabulous for a city loft wedding or one in a hip place like Miami.

Green also works beautifully for autumn weddings. The vivid colors that work for summer may be a bit too garish for fall, so choose a more muted shade of green for your bridesmaid dresses. An olive green can be very pretty for dresses, and it mixes well with other fall wedding colors like russet or a rich copper metallic. This rich shade of green is very nice for a late afternoon or evening wedding. A pretty accent for olive green bridesmaid dresses would be tin cup style pearl bridesmaid jewelry that is handcrafted from copper or bronze Swarovski pearls.

If you are having a winter wedding, you should definitely take a look at rich hunter green for your attendants. For a Christmas wedding, hunter green velvet bridesmaid dresses would be absolutely stunning. Another terrific fabric for this rich, deep shade of green is taffeta. Full length taffeta dresses with either an A-line or full ball skirt are gorgeous for formal weddings.

There is one shade of green that is universally flattering, and that is sage green. For this reason, sage is one of the most popular greens for bridesmaid dresses. It translates well in almost any fabric, including crepe, dupioni, satin, chiffon, and organza. The dusty sage color is also pretty for any season. It looks particularly pretty when paired with purple flowers for the bouquets.

Green is a lovely color to use for your bridesmaid dresses. If you take into consideration the season and style of your wedding, you will have no problem finding the perfect shade of green for your attendants to wear.
