Though there is no single resounding bridal color palette, one set of shades tends to endure: pastels. It never seems to matter what season the wedding falls in, or where the wedding is being held, or what wedding aesthetic the bride and groom have settled on—pastel details always fit, and they do so seamlessly. Given this, it’s little surprise that pastel bridesmaid dresses are among the most popular bridesmaid dress genres around.
There’s something delicately romantic about pastel colors—something dreamy, lighthearted and delightful. They’re rarely edgy, but that doesn’t keep them from feeling sophisticated. They’re endlessly classic, but not at the expense of novel, fun appeal. Seated at the cross-section of all things fairytales and happiness and happy-go-lucky spirit, pastel colors seem to embody the best parts of love—the beginnings, when everything is full of hope and potential.
Pastel bridesmaid dresses are the kind of thing our foremothers wore, and that their foremothers before them probably wore, too. Weddings offer us all an opportunity to take full advantage of the happy tones—while we’re in an environment that’s already enveloped in happiness, which only amplifies the delightful effect.
