Blues with burgundy

Andrea, on December 29, 2019 at 12:25 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9
Hello! I am trying to figure out what shades of blue go best with burgundy. My wedding is is Aug and I am taking my bridesmaids dress shopping in a few weeks at Davids bridal but I am having a hard time figuring what shade of blue to go with. We are going to use burgundy as the accent color. I feel the blues at Davids might be too muted or too dark so I feel we might not find what I'm looking for. Thanks for the assistance!!

    I think a dusty blue (anything from pale blue to medium toned, as long as it has that slightly grayish color to it) would look lovely, and a navy would work well too. Any shade of blue that isn't too bright and saturated (again, think those grayish, dusty hues) would go well with burgundy.

    Oh and David's should have a burgundy colored dress that you can place the blue colors next to to see how they will look together.

    Thank you! I was looking at their dusty blue, steel blue and ice blue dresses so I think I'm on the right track then!

    What color do you plan on having the groomsmen wear? If you want them in blue as well then I would be worried that you might not have a lot of color variation. To me blue suits/tuxes with blue bridesmaids dresses would be too much blue.

    My fiance is thinking of having his groomsmen in burgundy ties or vests. Maybe gray suits. We didn't want them to be too matchy.

    I think you could definitely do like a dusty blue dresses and have the guys in gray suits with burgundy ties and vests. I would have the guys wear blue and burgundy boutonnieres and have the girls carry blue and burgundy flowers to coordinate everything. I have included some photos as inspiration.
