I really think the type of fabric plays more in to the look than just the color. I like the palette you describe and you may consider throwing in a splash of color or some added texture. (think gold strappy sandles, flowers or greens in the hair) Beautiful! Meg,

They are going to wear black, my dress is ivory, my fiance will wear dark charcoal, and the groomsmen will wear beige (chino/linen suits). I would love to hear thoughts on this look? The look at the alter will be black, off white, black, off white. Do you think this works? I agree that other colors in the wedding palette should be bright and cheerful!

I went with black and white with splashes of hot pink for the colors in my March wedding. I gave pink pashminas to all of the girls and the guys wore black bow ties with white polka dots with their own black suits. The look was classic, if I had to do it all again I would use the same colors. My bridesmaid’s all wore black dresses, which hit between knee length and mid calf.

I adored her for this, b/c I was pregnant and wasn't looking great in normal bridesmaid dresses. I think it looked great, too. Her accent colors were light blue and green, and our bouquets were lovely and fresh looking. She also gave us all blue and green ribbons to incorporate into our look. Some girls used them as a sash, some wove them through their hair, and I braided mine around my wrist.

I think what makes that work in terms of keeping it fresh and spring-like is the infusion of various black/white patterns and the presence of lots of lush flowers and greenery everywhere. Beautiful!

Also the bouquets will tie it all together. Another idea would be to get a sash or ribbon to tie around the waist of each dress (with a bow in back or front or on the side) in an accent color to tie it all in. Just a few ideas from a wedding photographer!! Good luck! I like this idea, and I would also suggest accent colors like matching earrings/necklaces/or bracelets.

That will "lighten" things up a bit. Perhaps, have them pick short or tea-length dresses. That will “lighten” things up a bit.
