OK ladies, it's time to talk color. We all know that most bridesmaids would prefer to wear a black dress to your wedding, one that they'll be able to wear over and over again; but what if you have your heart set on seeing them in your favorite color - How do you make a statement color as flattering as possible?

Our advice is to stick to simple dresses that flatter a variety of figures - like the Caroline dress in a tricky orange shade we've pictured here. The simple a-line and the graceful bateau neckline help the color shine through without the distraction of bows or sparkly bits. Don't believe us? See dresses in this color at this real wedding.
