What colors go with teal bridesmaid dresses?

Fluker says that teal bridesmaid dresses go well with navy, pinks, cream, gold, and brown tones. “If you’re looking to bring more vibrant color into your wedding palette, teal complements gold, maroon, coral, and purple hues,” she notes. “If your color palette steers more on the neutral side, teal can be matched well with soft taupe, cream, grey, white, and classic black.

Is the bridal party supposed to pay for their dresses?

Generally speaking, bridesmaids can expect to pay for their own dresses . However, if you know that some of your bridesmaids aren’t in a financial position to spend several hundred dollars, you can choose to either pay for theirs. Or you can offer flexibility in terms of dress choice. For example, brides might choose to give their bridesmaids the general direction of teal as a color palette but tell them they can find their own dresses and run them by you before buying; this often results in a lovely mix-and-match aesthetic that still has a color scheme.

What season is best for teal bridesmaid dresses?

Fluker notes that teal is a year-round color for weddings. “A color that is not too bright and not too bold, teal is versatile enough to incorporate into your wedding at any time of the year,” she says. “I love lighter, greener variations of teal for spring and summer and darker, deep jewel tone blue variations of teal for fall and winter.”

How do you style a teal bridesmaid dress?

It’s best to keep the accessories minimal with a teal bridesmaid dress because it is such a vibrant color. Pick one or two pieces of jewelry, like a drop earring and a cocktail ring, as well as a good shoe, whether that’s a silver heel or white sandal. Less is more here: Pick accessories that will make the dress pop rather than overload the ensemble.

Can I wear teal to a formal wedding?

Yes, you can! While teal can be a bold color and feels better suited for a destination or casual wedding, a deeper shade of teal would be an elegant choice for a formal wedding. For a black-tie wedding , we love floor-length dark teal dresses in a silk or satin fabric.

What to Look for in Bridesmaid Dresses

Color Variation

In terms of color, teal is a combination of blue and green, which means each brand and designer might have a slightly different take on the color—some skewing a bit bluer and others greener. If you’re a stickler for having precisely the same hue, it might be best to have all of your bridesmaids get their dress from the same label.

Design Details

Beyond the palette, Fluker says several bridesmaid dress trends translate beautifully to a teal frock. “I’m loving breathable fabrics (such as lightweight chiffon, soft glossy satins, crepe, Chantilly lace, and jacquard), and design details like petite cutouts, one-shoulder sleeves, skirt tiering, ruffles, and lace-up accents,” she notes. “I also love the trend of mixing different bridesmaid dresses in a variety of solid color hues, prints, fabrics, and silhouettes that creates more interest and texture than choosing only one bridesmaid dress for the entire group.”

FAQ

Fluker says that teal bridesmaid dresses go well with navy, pinks, cream, gold, and brown tones. “If you’re looking to bring more vibrant color into your wedding palette, teal complements gold, maroon, coral, and purple hues,” she notes. “If your color palette steers more on the neutral side, teal can be matched well with soft taupe, cream, grey, white, and classic black.
