Burnt Orange Bridesmaid Dresses: Warm, Striking and Timeless

Why Burnt Orange Is a Standout Bridesmaid Color

After 15 years of writing about weddings and fashion, I have seen colors that were once in fashion fade away and some colors make a comeback. Burnt orange is one color that continues to be a part of weddings.  Burnt orange is a modern alternative to pastel pinks and neutral champagne. Also, burnt orange is warm and rich. It is not too dense and is quite flattering on different skin tones. Also, it’s versatile enough for various wedding themes.

Burnt orange is popular with brides because it adds a lively touch to wedding photos with elegance. Bridesmaids like it too because it’s a shade that can cross over and be reworn easily.
