Two highly in demand shades of blue for bridesmaid dresses are Omphalodes and Blue Glow. These are cheerful and light shades which are perfect for a wedding on a summer afternoon. Your bridesmaids can keep the look fresh and breezy with a convertible dress with pearl jewelry. A convertible bridesmaid dress is quintessential in that it lets your bridesmaids create a look that is unique to them. They can twist, braid or knot the fabric ties for an entirely new neckline – hence the name, convertible. The look can be completed with a lovely pair of strappy sandals (white or silver would look great) and a natural hairstyle. It would truly be a captivating look for your bridesmaids.

4. Sodalite Blue
Sodalite Blue is a wonderful and traditional tinge of blue that works great for formal or evening weddings. The only thing to keep in mind with navy blue is that in dim lighting and black and white photographs, it can give the impression of being black. A classic sodalite blue lace bridesmaid dress would be very nice for an evening winter reception. If you choose sodalite blue dresses for the daytime, they can be brightened up with accents like lavender or white, which will have a refreshing nautical effect.
