Dusty Blue Bridesmaid Dresses: Modern & Appropriate for Chic Weddings

Why Dusty Blue Is a Favorite for Bridesmaids

In the 15 years that I have been writing about fashion-wedding trends, I have seen colors come and go but dusty blue has remained a quiet staple. It’s a soft and romantic shade which flatters most skin tones, photographs beautifully and works for all seasons. Dusty blue isn’t as bright, but it does offer some muted elegance and can work well for rustic outdoor weddings as well as more formal affairs in a ballroom.

Brides love it because it feels unique yet timeless. Bridesmaids are thankful for this color as it is less scary than pastel pinks and bright jewel tones. Besides, it is easy to match accessories and pairs with different themes.

Popular Styles of Dusty Blue Bridesmaid Dresses

Regardless of the silhouette, this shade’s beauty is impressive. Here are the most-loved styles I’ve seen at weddings:

• ·         Maxi dress designs in chiffon: Light, flowy and suit spring and summer ceremonies.
• ·         Satin slip dresses are chic and modern, perfect for both city and evening weddings.
• ·         Off-the-shoulder gowns: add romance, softness to bridal photos.
• ·         You should wear it again after the wedding as it is comfortable and flattering.
• ·         Mix and match styles; same dusty blue hue but all different most flattering necklines to allow bridesmaids to choose.

Why Dusty Blue Works in Any Season

Dusty blue is not a color associated with a specific season like most bridesmaid colors.

• ·         Spring Wedding: Pairs perfectly with blush pinks, lavenders and greenery.
• ·         Summer Weddings: Cream, silver, and other light neutral colors lend a breezy, cool effect.
• ·         Fall Weddings: Works great with burnt orange, terracotta, and gold accents.
• ·         Winter weddings are magical particularly with silver, deep navy, and emerald.

Because of its versatility, dusty blue is an investment color. Whatever the date, your wedding pictures will look timeless in it.

Fabrics That Elevate the Shade

The fabric of clothing makes a huge difference on how colors translate in person and photos.

• ·         Chiffon is light and airy, great for an outdoor wedding.
• ·         Satin has a lustrous sheen that reflects light.
• ·         Tulle is often selected by more formal bridal parties to create fun.
• ·         Crepe is smooth and minimalistic. It is great for modern weddings.

Accessorizing Dusty Blue Bridesmaid Dresses

The muted tone allows for a wide range of styling options. Some of the best pairings I’ve seen include.

• ·         Jewelry: The soft hues of pearl, silver or rose gold all goes with dusty blue.
• ·         Shoes: Nude, metallic or even matching dusty blue heels.
• ·         Bouquets: Use white roses, eucalyptus or blush flowers for imbalance.
• ·         Wraps and Jackets: Shawls and jackets for those heading for a cool-weather wedding – we love a soft gray or cream wrap!

Common Questions About Dusty Blue Bridesmaid Dresses

Is dusty blue too soft for all skin tones?

Not at all. Its muted undertone is more forgiving than pastel shades. If you have warmer undertones, you can go for accessories in gold or blush. If you have cool undertones, you can try some silver and white trinkets.

Bridesmaids can wear different shades of dusty blue.

Yes. Using light and deep dusty blues adds depth to your pairing photos without being mismatched in your bridal party set.

Will a dusty blue color look washed out in photos?

It looks beautiful in pictures when paired with matching accessories and flower colors. It really lights up outdoor backdrops well and it seems soft on darker indoor backgrounds.

Can you wear dusty blue to a formal black-tie wedding?

Absolutely. Whether made from satin or tulle, it has an equally strong elegant impact as navy or emerald.
