While I have never done a wedding before, I have had the opportunity to watch someone plan a wedding from scratch. It's not an easy job. All things aside, it is difficult to even color coordinate the dresses of the bride and the bridesmaids. In a wedding, the bridesmaids' dresses are either of the same style and color or a close variation of either one. Whether you are an upcoming bride or about to be your best friend's bridesmaid, these purple bridesmaid dresses will make bold statements on the big day. In fact purple is new trendy color, and is quite suitable for a wedding, since it embodies the balance of red simulation and blue calm. But plain purple dresses can be monotonous and boring; so spice up the wedding with this variation of purple bridesmaid dresses.
It would be fun to have your best pals dressed in different variations of purple dresses, with each color complementing each other. To start off, try out the black-purple dresses. The deep hue lays somewhat a foundation for the other colors to come. The Port Silk Taffeta Strapless Dress by Ann Taylor is a beautiful piece of work. The solid color is enhanced with front pleats from the waist. A removable grosgrain sash with chiffon trims offers the bridesmaid in question an option to accentuate her waist. Simply match it with an eye-catching necklace to complete the gorgeous look.

Get one of these lavender dresses to fit into your purple-themed wedding. The pale purple can effectively contrasts with the dark purple and helps to soften the whole image. Look cute and pretty at the same time with this Halter Bridesmaid Dress from Dessy. The cocktail halter with pleat-detailed bodice and its matching empire waistband projects a playful personality while looking classy too. A necklace might be too much for this dress, so instead wear a pair of chandelier earring for a better effect.
Now you might want to include these pink dresses into your consideration list as well. While bright pink dresses might ruin the color coordination, dresses with light and soft pink would complement the other colors well. For instance, Kathlin Argiro's Mermaid Bridesmaid Dress would grab attention the moment it's out on the walkway. It's feminine, flirty and proudly shows off the woman's soft curves. It has fitted silhouette and mermaid hem as well as a removable sash and vintage orchid flower pin. In fact, the dress looks so good that the bride might want to wear it instead!
Play around with other matching colors to make a colorful and memorable wedding. To do that, you should also check out these burgundy dresses. You can use this deep hue to balance out the dresses with softer colors. One of the classic dresses here is the One Shoulder Long Prom Dress by Mori Lee. The single shoulder strap is pleated to meet the square neckline of the dress, which flows down from the body to form an A-line skirt. If you're thinking of having all your bridesmaids in short dresses, then take a look at the Single Shoulder Dress by Calvin Klein. Also sporting only one shoulder strap, this side-zip satin dress is a fun, flirty dress too.
There are actually more colors to match to purple coordination. You can also opt to have dresses with different styles and lengths, though that would make the decision making process much harder. Just remember that simple classiness can go a long way.
