What to Look for in a Green Bridesmaid Dress
Versatility
If the bride gives you the option to choose your own bridesmaid dress, consider investing in a style you can wear beyond the wedding. For ultimate versatility, Lloyd recommends sticking to a solid color or subtle print, like Reformation's Gloriana Silk Dress. You can even tailor the dress afterwards to make it less formal. Bonus tip: Bridesmaid dresses make great wedding guest outfits.
"When in doubt, opt for something timeless that also stays true to your unique personal style and will be on trend for years to come," says Lloyd.
Shade
The beauty of green is that there are so many different shades, letting you wear it year round. For warm-weather weddings, soft, seafoam green and springy mint feel equal parts effortless and serene. With its spearmint shade and cutout lace design, Self-Portrait's Azalea Lace Midi Dress will keep you cool in warmer months. Saying "I do" at a wintery locale? Opt for floor-length gowns in regal colors like a hunter and emerald green. Thanks to the long sleeve and dark green shade, you won't have to sacrifice style for warmth in Amsale's Bailey dress. Of course, check in with the bride to see if there's a specific shade of green that matches the wedding's theme.
Material
Just like with the shade of green, different materials are better suited for different times of the year and locations. The combination of jewel tones and velvet is especially beautiful, so Jenny Yoo's Ellis Velvet Dress is cozy chic for a winter wedding. In warmer weather, stick to lighter fabrics like silk, chiffon, and linen. A simple silk slip like ASTR The Label's Gaia Dress will keep you looking and feeling cool.
