The Best Brown Bridesmaid Dress

If you mention brown as the color for a bridesmaid dress, many people will raise their eyebrows and wrinkle their noses. However, brown is a very classic and elegant choice for a wedding – – especially a fall wedding. Brown comes in a broad spectrum of shades to choose from such as darker tones including cocoa, coffee, russet or auburn. Lighter tones range from a light brown beige, sand, fawn or camel to mushroom or taupe. There are also browns that have shades of yellow, red or copper blended into them to give them a slightly different hue. The best shades for fall or winter would be the darker shades while spring and summer are more suitable for the lighter shades of brown.

The Rose (www.therosedress.com) has a very large selection of brown bridesmaid dresses to choose from. The site makes it easy to browse by color and pairs the colors for you so that you can choose complimenting colors if you desire to use brown with other colors. The prices are extremely reasonable and some of the dresses are available in plus sizes too. For convenience they also have mother of the bride, flower girl and wedding dresses as well.

If you are looking for dresses that you have seen on your favorite celebrity or on the runways you may want to look at eDressme (www.edressme.com).

One of my favorite sites this year for brown dresses is Camden Drive (www.camdendrive.com). They have a large selection of styles in different shades of brown making this site good for the bride who is not quite sure what style of dress she wants and needs to browse.

I had not really considered Nordstrom (www.nordstrom.com) as having a good selection of brown bridesmaid dresses but I was pleasantly surprised. The selection was great and the dresses are very elegant. Chic, stylish and definitely fashionable – – this site is a must when shopping for your dresses.

One last site takes a lot of browsing to find the colors but the assortment of styles of dresses at FormalKids (www.formalkids.com) cannot be surpassed. They have every style of dress that you can imagine. This may assist you when you do not really have an idea of the style of dress you are looking for and need to browse to start getting some ideas.

I personally am fond of shades of brown for an elegant evening wedding. I think that it is classy and has an abundance of possibilities for accents with jewelry, shoes and accessories making brown a wonderful choice for a bridesmaid dress.
