Considering an orange themed wedding? Good choice as orange is in vogue right now. The bright colours are bound to fill your wedding with a vibrant feel and yes, you can pull it off. It won't be hard to arrange for orange coloured theme flower arrangements and decorations. Your greatest challenge would probably be to convince your bridesmaids to adorn orange bridesmaid dresses. However, contrary to popular belief, orange can be very flattering in the right style and tone. Instead of choosing just one colour and make your bridesmaids stick to it, give them a choice of different tone, style and material. Or, why not even let them mix the orange bridesmaid dresses with other matching colours?
If you are so lucky to have all bridesmaids excited and eager to wear orange, you can consider having them dressed in solid orange bridesmaid dresses but in different style. When choosing the tone you have to consider your bridesmaids skin tone. Bright orange generally only looks better for someone with darker skin. However, lighter tones like coral, peach or watermelon is easier to wear. Ann Taylor has a few designs in the same watermelon tone orange dresses. Let your bridesmaids pick from the selection of sleeveless dresses which comes in strapless, scoop neck or v-neck necklines. There is also the option of a classic empire waist dress with surplice front and back V-neckline or front scoop and back square neckline. These dresses all come with a hidden side zip and hook-and-eye closure for a seamless look. Paired with white flower bouquets your bridesmaids will surely make your wedding stand-out.

Alternatively, try mixing orange with other colours to match the season. Orange and pink are great for spring weddings, while orange and red is a wonderful combination for spring. Another great combination is the tropical feel of orange and yellow which is hot, hot, hot this season. Have a few girls wear orange and a few wearing yellow bridesmaids dresses. The sleeveless Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique Twist Strap Pleated Dress has a surplice front neckline with a wide-inset waist to accentuate the silhouette. This pleated dress would also be the perfect dress for your darker skin bridesmaids. Alternatively, have a look at Liz Fields bridesmaid dress selection which comes in all colours and sizes, just like bridesmaids do. The Sweetheart Halter Bridesmaid dress has braided detail and horsehair hem at the neckline and will make your bridesmaids look stunning.
The other point to consider is the length and fabric. You would want to choose something that not only makes your bridesmaids look great on your wedding day but also something that they will love to wear after your wedding. Why not consider silk short orange bridesmaids dresses? After all, silk is the most sought after wedding dress material, noted for its resiliency, elasticity and strength. Also, chances are that they will be wearing a short dress more often than a long formal orange dress. Check out Shoshana's Sherbert Orange Ruched Chiffon Dress with strapless neckline and pleated silk skirt. This dress projects a playful and yet alluring picture and your bridesmaids will surely be wearing it again to parties and cocktail events. You should also have a look at J. Crew's Silk Tricotine Robin short dress. The midweight silk tricotine fabric was chosen for its subtle lustre and lovely drape. Featuring a flattering cowlneck with A-line skirt that falls to the knee, this graceful party dress is sure to excite.
