What color goes with burgundy in summer?

Dina, on September 11, 2011 at 6:01 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 15

So, my wedding colors are burgundy with champagne (yellow) and rose pink, and it's a summer wedding. My mom is looking for her mother of the bride dress now and she has no idea what color to get to match it. Colors like gold/silver is out of the question as she has found a dress that she likes, but it doesn't come in those colors. Since it's a summer wedding, she was thinking of a lighter color like in the yellows/creams area, but it just seems like it will wash her out. People told her to stay away from neighboring colors to burgundy (like berry and scarlet and cranberry) because they may just clash with the bridesmaid dresses. Any suggestions???? Here is what the dress she wants looks like, and what the bridesmaid dress in burgundy looks like:

    Why can't she get the navy color? It doesn't look bad.

    What about a shade of purple? hunter green?

    Is that dress navy blue? If so, it would look nice.

    She was actually thinking of the navy blue... it looked excellent on her. But, does that color make the tones seem too dark - more for fall or winter?

    How about a pale blue? Lavendar or wisteria?

    I think the navy would be too much. What colors does the dress come in - that might help? What about a yellow, brown, or dark tan? I don't think yellow would be that bad.

    @Dina I love the dress for your mom. One of my May brides used your colors and her mom wore a dress in the taupe, toffee family if worked very well with her colors.

    I like the idea of lavendar or wysteria....It is very soft and compatible with the

    burgundy.....Or, perhaps a deep fuschia would be lovely.

    How about a nice light coral? It's bright enough for summer, and still within the warmer tones to match the burgundys and rose pinks of your palette.

    KitCat, it's from David's Bridal. $188.00, a little pricey - but it's lovely.

    Dina- like the dress your mom picked. I am sure it comes in a color that will be fine-- see what the options are. Good luck. My FMIl asked what color she should wear-- I hadn't thought about it. I will be lucky if my mom shows up in a dress Smiley smile She is not excited about the wedding.

    still if she don’t feel like wearing it she can wear something in brown......it will look good with burgundy with champagne....

    She has now limited the choices down to Navy blue, cranberry red, geranium pink, or rose petal pink... which seems like the best fit for that dress and to match my colors?
