The top bridesmaid colours revealed

Modern Wedding Posted: September 26, 2011

As I mentioned last week, we are thrilled to receive so much feedback from all our lovely brides and when we asked what colour your bridesmaids would be wearing – the response was amazing!

So the results? Well here they are!

I must admit I was a little surprised at the most popular colour after seeing so many swanky black bridesmaids in the real life weddings sent to us, or pretty in pink maids seen in so many bridal photoshoots. Bride-to-be’s around the country have chosen the colour purple as their favoured wedding colour! I love it!

Purple: The colour of good judgement. Symbolising magic, mystery and royalty. This ideal colour mixes red (the warmest colour) with blue (the coolest colour). What a perfect balance, no wonder this colour is said to enhance peace of mind.

Here is the graph illustrating the results from our question to you: What colour will your bridesmaids be wearing?
