Hello :)

We're still at the very early stages of wedding discussion, so early that we haven't even chosen our colour scheme yet! This is partly down to the fact that we have chosen 5 bridesmaids (if they all want to do it of course) and 4 of them have red hair. The 5th is a very dark brunette. I'm not very good at this kind of thing, so I was wondering if anyone can suggest suitable coloured bridesmaid dresses for redheads?

Thank You :)

not red and not orange and white makes most red heads look sick
but yes dark green and bark blue looks great. pale colours not so good

Miss emily if you go for green dresses you just have white and green flowers look on google at '' white and green wedding flowers'' in the images bit they have lovely ideas

or white flowers with green feathers

lol thats not how you do it PMSL you tell him :) get him used to being married early

LOL seeker. I am with you on that one. Emily just say we are having an green and white wedding. hope you dont mind if you do then opps i have already bought the bm dresses

dont listen to hails she just wants to make things hard for you

GO GREEN

LOL see now this is why i want my 5 gold stars its ok having a dimond heart but it dont give me the funny pics.

hails just wants everyone to use her colours cos she thinks she is the best (( she but dont tell her that))

see this is where the joy of bridesmaids and flowergirls comes in to play.
i have 5 flowergirls in one type of dress and 3 bridesmaids in a different style but all in white and all with gems on them

LOL love ya hails you nutter

ahhh just get them to dye their hair

I have 2 bridesmaids one red head and one brown, we are having purple but the other colour we liked was green (tealness) very nice on them!

I'm a redhead too! Tho i like wearing pink! Green, browns, purples and blues look good on me. What about a gold colour? I'm having my redheaded sister as a bridesmaid and shes wearing a mid-gold colour and it looks lovely x

Thank You for all your suggestions. I think I might borrow the eldest one day and take her shopping. She recently had her school prom and wore a gorgeous dark blue dress that really suited her so that could be an option too.

Luckily I'm not TOO fussy about the colour scheme, as it looks like the biggest consideration is going to be suitable colours for the redheads lol. I'm not a fan of pink so that's not a problem, and as mentioned before someone else in the family is having red so that's out, but also fine.

Who'd have thought things could be so difficult? I've not even started on my own dress yet, and both my mum and future mother in law are in to cake making and have both mentioned helping out with that, so that's another nightmare! Especially as they live at opposite sides of the country, so working together wouldn't really be possible! Looks like we're having two cakes lol!

A groom's cake? Is it bad I've never heard of that?

*heads off to Google*

A grooms cake it a cake in the design of the grooms interests so if he likes cricket it might be in the shape of a bat etc. Single women take it home and put it under their pillow so they can dream about their future husband.

Just to update, the eldest bridesmaid who was going to be my dressing up doll to experiment has apparently dyed her hair dark brown!! The next one down age wise lives near London, so looks like I'm going to have to rethink the shopping trip lol.

Anyone have a redheaded teenager I can borrow?

id say either navy or dark red would suit red heads. it complements their pale skin and makes their hair look more red. :) xx

hi mrs emily, i would say green too..emerald or dark green would suit redheads, don't worry about the bad luck thing i think its just if the bride wears green its meant to be bad luck!

One of my bridesmaids has red hair and I chose champagne which I think looks really nice - see photos on my profile (note her first spray on tan as well). Her mum asked me to avoid any reds or pinks if possible.
