Pastels are always a popular choice for springtime weddings, with the playful yet soothing vibe they emit providing the perfect accompaniment to the bridal gown. From baby blue and lovely lemon to mint, lilac and blush pink, a pastel colour palette is so easy to fall in love with, especially for brides searching for dresses for their bridesmaids.
There’s more to pastel colours than their beautiful looks, however. By choosing one of the pastel bridesmaid dresses mentioned below, you could positively influence your mental wellbeing, even on a day as chaotic as your wedding, as designer Zeena Shah details:
“There’s something about the calming nature of a pastel that brings comfort and a sense of nostalgia along with it. They conjure up memories of my mum knitting cardigans when I was a child. Colour has such a positive effect on our mood and well-being. As a designer, understanding colour and its psychology is paramount to the practice. It can also be applied to our wardrobes.”
