Imagine the amazing hues of a sunrise where swirls of orange meets with pink, red, blue and yellow and you will understand the beauty of a burnt orange bridesmaid dress. Many brides tend to shy away from overly bright colors but a burnt orange bridesmaid dress can be a perfect choice because of the beauty of the color. It is like having a beautiful sunrise themed wedding when your bridesmaids are dressed in this color.
Just imagine your bridesmaid wearing orange long bridesmaid gowns standing in a row at your wedding, adding a splash of color to the atmosphere. The orange long gowns, especially silk or satin ones, will appear sleek and trendy. It is like having a sunburst right next to you and it will go very well with your wedding bouquet of yellow roses or any flower with just the slightest hint of orange or yellow. The orange gowns won't upstage or outshine the bride in the least because nobody could be more radiant than the bride but they are dazzling enough to brighten your wedding ceremony.

Even if you don't like bright orange bridesmaid dresses, there are other shades of orange that you could consider. Remember the myriad hues of a sunrise? Well, it is made up of various shades of orange, red and blue. Thus, you can also pick a different shade of orange for your bridesmaids to wear. You can go for pastels that are softer and not so bright. Or you can go for a more yellowish dress that will appear sunny and buttery soft. Then there is the pale orange or the other extreme, dark orange or burnt orange. All these colors are hardly bright even though they are within the same orangey shades.
You can even choose the red orange bridesmaid dress that has a more reddish tone. It is like a compromise between red and orange so instead of choosing just pure red, you can go for one that has a tinge of orange in it. This color also goes very well with red roses, pink roses or any other flower with a reddish shade of color. It will provide a beautiful contrast if your wedding bouquet are white flowers like white calla lilies. White and red are really good combinations and makes for really great wedding themes.
Ultimately, you can opt for the light orange bridesmaid dress which will be shades lighter than the reddish one or the burnt orange one. This color will lean nearer towards yellow and will probably have a yellowish tint to it. It will be quite pale and will present a romantic feel to your whole wedding. Again, this color will suit a wedding theme of red and white or a theme of yellow and white or even gold and red. It is probably your best bet if you are not so keen on bright colors as it is light, soft and yet, it represents the sunrise albeit in a lighter shade.
Preparing for a wedding can be a real hassle as there is so many things that you need to get done. Choosing the perfect bridesmaid dress so that your bridesmaid are dressed for their part is a rather tedious job but you still need to get it right. So, if you want a wedding with the colors of the sunrise as the main theme, you could seriously consider the orange gowns for the bridesmaids.
