Step 1
Make sure you pick a color you like. After all, you'll probably be using that color for the flowers and other weddings accessories. And you'll be looking at your wedding pictures for a lifetime, so make sure that color doesn't cause you to wince.

Step 2
Consider the season. Pastels and lighter colors general are more appropriate for a spring or summer wedding, while darker colors generally are better for fall and winter. Yes, you can break the rules a bit, but keep these traditions in mind.
-
Step 3
Consider the time of day. Lighter colored dresses generally work better for daytime weddings, while darker colors (especially black) tend to work better in the evening.
-
Step 4
Consider the formality level of the wedding. Pastel pink might work better for a more casual wedding, and black might work better at a more elegant one.

Step 5
Get feedback from your bridesmaids. Ask them what colors they like and look best wearing. Yes, you have the final say, but take their opinions into consideration.
-
Step 6
Choose colors that look good on your bridesmaids. Bright purple may not be flattering on heavier women. Dark orange may wash out women with pale complexions.
