Choosing the colour of your bridesmaid dresses can be a challenge – do you opt for a neutral colour and risk having the bridesmaid dresses outdo the bride’s or do you use colour to flatter the main dress of the day? Coloured bridesmaid dresses have made a big comeback in the past few years, and strong colours are a great way to make a memorable statement on your big day. While some bold colours can be jarring or date quickly, purple bridesmaid dresses are a good option if you are looking for a strong colour statement, with a range of different tones and hues to mix it up.

Dark purple bridesmaid dresses make a strong wedding day statement, with the depth of the bold dark purple against traditional alabaster and ivory wedding dress fabrics a stunning contrast. Dark purple can flatter almost any body shape, and this versatile colour works across the seasons. From mulberry to grape there are a range of different colour shades that will work to create elegant and stylish purple bridesmaid dresses.
