Bridesmaid Fashion: Pretty in Pastels

Posted Tuesday, October 07, 2008 1:22 PM

Think pastels are too passe for your palette? Lighter shades were perfect for Jill and Jeremy's outdoor, summer wedding in Manchester, VT. The couple's pretty, elegant palette complimented the regal "French Countryside Couture" motif. The wedding was the perfect mix of eclectic and antique, Marie Antoinette-inspired accents.

The bridesmaids were especially chic in a rainbow of pastel hues that the bride says were inspired by "French macaroons." The maids chose their dresses from five colors -- parfait pink, moonlight blue, bloom purple, cactus green, and antique gold. The softer shades popped against the garden's lush greenery. To mix it up even more, the bridesmaids chose each lame-covered Vera Wang dress in their own style. The maids carried large, white feathered fans to punch up the pastel palette and add even more elegance. They look like modern-day ladies-in-waiting!
