If you have all of your wedding details planned and are finally selecting bridal party dresses, choosing a gown for your crew that fits your wedding theme and venue is crucial. Need suggestions? Think coral! This vivacious hue offers a bright and romantic element to any nuptials whether it be a laid-back backyard celebration or a black-tie affair. Coral bridal party dresses fit into a variety of wedding palettes and add just the right amount of color without being overwhelming. A few of our favorite places to shop these pretty little numbers include Azazie, Birdy Grey, Dear Cleo, and even Net-a-Porter.
Whether you’re in the mood for a super-saturated take on coral or a washed-out version, the spectrum ranges from deeper shades with pink undertones to poppy versions that lean closer to light peach and tangerine orange. This hue is also easily complemented by several accent colors like turquoise, red, and light pink. And for a bridal party with a diverse range of skin tones, you can opt for an ombré mix-and-match palette to hit on every version of the color, so it will flatter each complexion.
From halter dresses to elegant floor-length gowns and off-the-shoulder necklines, keep reading for our edit of the best coral bridal party dresses.

What to Look for in Coral Bridesmaid Dresses
When it comes to selecting any bridesmaid dress, regardless of the color, it's important to consider the varying comfort levels and different body types of your entire squad. Especially when choosing a coral gown, you'll want to select a hue that complements each member of your party's skin tone. Have a variety of shades among your crew? No problem! Opt for a stunning palette of colors from blush and bright citrus to a darker terracotta hue. It's a modern take on the traditional bridal party look, and it offers a beautiful way to add dimension and variety to your overall wedding day palette. To incorporate this concept even further, we recommend allowing your crew to choose their own dress styles or silhouettes. Whether it be a one-shoulder, strapless, a number with a show-stopping slit, or even a pantsuit, there's a unique cut for every member that will let her (or his) personality shine through.
