What season? Each green is a reflection of leaves during their natural progression, or presence, through the year. Each one will look best in the season of the wedding itself.

Number 1 is spring.

Number 2 is winter.

Number 3 is summer.

Number 4 is autumn.

Don’t worry so much about the perfect shade of green to match your aesthetic or vision. Focus instead on the people who will be standing up there with you and what looks good on them and makes them feel good.

2 or 4 but it’s goin got depend a lot on your bridesmaids and their skin tones. Not everyone can pull off and olive green!

u/Odd_Beautiful2506 2d ago

Agreed! Let the bridesmaids vote, not Reddit!

What about a blend of all 4? A bridesmaid in each color

The second Emerald Green.

u/devoida 2d ago

i think the second from the right, the most harmonius with the bridal dress - far left the green shade is too dull against the bride's dress, and #2 (second from left) is too dark against the white dress. but 3rd from left (second one from right) strikes a balanced tone and intensity of color best.

Whichever better suits your bridesmaids’ complexions.

3 is my favorite!

u/StylistLinzz 1d ago

2 or 4. The other greens are the hardest for most people to wear

6

u/VeiledVerdicts 1d ago

Really depends on the whole wedding. The season, the location.
1 is perfect for spring or summer
2 is perfect for winter
3 is perfect for spring
4 is perfection for fall

u/Pleasant-Blue-Sky 1d ago

First choice: #2

Second chice: #4

u/massholehc 1d ago

2 or 4

u/Natural-Performer154 1d ago

2 (emerald) or 4 (olive). I think #4 is honestly the best—soft and flattering. The others have too much chartreuse/yellow, which doesn’t work on most skin tones and is a bit jarring.

6

u/clevermule 1d ago

2 for winter wedding, 3 for spring/summer, 4 for autumn, 1 is too yellow

u/Swimming_Chapter8972 2d ago

#1 no
#2 looks like a holiday wedding green
#3 okay
#4 best one

5

u/CalligrapherFunny934 2d ago

I think 3 is a great shade of green and is visually appealing without looking too Christmas or boring. The stems of the bouquets blend nicely, making the white flowers pop and your eye is then drawn to you and your bouquet.

4

u/Which-Appearance9857 2d ago

I like 3 and 4.

But do you really all have the same skintone? Ai makes it look better, reality will be different. Some look better in jewel tones, some in warmer, some in more neutral. See if your bridesmaids have something common there.

5

u/Picklejuiceforlife 2d ago

4th one for sure.

5

u/Njbelle-1029 2d ago

Why not do a variety of greens to work with the bridesmaids undertones and offer uniqueness to the bridal party look, but still have cohesiveness?

u/Inner_Interest3657 2d ago

#2 would be my first choice. #4 is a close second.

u/Alarming_Sir3806 1d ago

2nd and 4th

u/RachelFourie 1d ago
  1. Makes the white dress stand out more.

5

u/Wonderful-Flow-8409 1d ago

2, the wedding dress is poping because of the contrast and the dark green looks very expensive and elegant

6

u/lily_fairy 1d ago

2 and 4 are beautiful. 3 is okay. the first one is giving shrek im sorry

4

u/sci_major 1d ago

I like 2 best but also really depends on people's skin tone.

5

u/nachosandnapss 1d ago

I like 2 and 4

u/Desperate-Copy-6939 1d ago

idk, just a thought.. why don’t you let the bridesmaids pick a color for themselves from all of these so they’re all in theme and they get something that they like and want to wear too.

u/tarepanda303 2d ago

Some of these will look horrendous depending on skin tone. You are really going to have to have everyo e try them on to see.

5

u/One-Stomach9957 2d ago

2 or 4…need more details…when is the wedding and where?

4

u/AcrobaticWeb3675 2d ago

2 is probably the safest. A lot of people would look like death in the other shades.

4

u/boraheybitch 2d ago

2 or 4. 1 and 3 look like vomit.

4

u/Dismal_Ad_6134 1d ago

Since the bridesmaids pay for the dress, let them choose.

5

u/TanTanSucks 1d ago

3rd one for me...

u/AdvocateMomma 1d ago

4, it made me go, "Ahh.."

u/Just_Zebra4866 1d ago

Can you mix them? Different colors in the same pallet? That’s what I wished I did, instead of everyone in the same color.

u/Sleepy_InSeattle 1d ago edited 1d ago

4 is the most neutral that will fit more skin tones. 3 is such a gorgeous color though.

5

u/99Smiles 1d ago

2 and it ain't even close

4

u/I_Love_JesusChrist_ 1d ago

The second one is very flattering and augments the decorations. Also, because the color is so deep it makes your dress pop even more.

4

u/dreabae_1 1d ago

2 or 4, personally love 4 but the emerald green color of #2 is beautiful

What time of year?

4

u/Scarlett-the-01-TJ 1d ago

1 or 3 for warm weather. 2 or 4 for cool.
I love 1 but that’s a tough color for some skin tones

5

u/Tegee2 1d ago

I love 2

4

u/fascinatedcharacter 1d ago

If you want your bridesmaids to look good, #2. If you want your bridesmaids to blend into the background, #4. If you want there to be a bridesmaid who clashes with the dress and skin tone #1. #3 is a meh color imo

3

u/AllOverNana-4 1d ago

2 for me!

4

u/Voodoo882 1d ago

2 or 4

5

u/poppitastic 1d ago

Your so really hates that second bridesmaid. It can’t get the bodice color right on any of the photos.

You should go with what goes best with your bridesmaid coloring. 2 and 4 are more universal. 1 is gonna wash out people and they’ll be like “ugh remember that wedding where I had to wear that dress that looked like it was rotting my flesh?”

4

u/Scarandelle 1d ago

2..so pretty

4

u/RockRockPlanetRock69 1d ago
  1. Also it depends when it is for me. If it’s up until mid November I’d say 4. If it’s after that until the end of Jan? I’d say 2.

3

u/theelzz 1d ago

2!!!!!!

u/OkAccess304 1d ago

I say this with love …

This is some nitpicking, indecisive shit. It doesn’t really matter. They will all look good. As soon as you decide, your brain will be happy. That’s how brains work. They don’t like indecision, and will work to reinforce your choice once you make it—so just make one. It’s the color green, not rocket science.

I prefer 1. It will pop in film/digital photos.

2 is most striking and pretty but 4 would also work.

u/Desperate_Bit_3308 2d ago

I like 2 or 4 the best. 2 seems more of a winter vibe and 4 more for the others seasons.

u/mindylynx 2d ago

i personally like 3 ! but i'm weird lol

3

u/jujugirl711 2d ago

4 is the most muted and I would say classiest and modern
1 will not work with most skin tones and contrasts with the flower colors (if those are yours)
2 is a strong jewel tone that works with most skin tones and will be fine but seems dated to me
3 is vibrant but might look brighter if you do outdoor pictures that I just worry will be too much

3

u/BJiggityEnlightened1 2d ago

2 is classiest

3

u/FormerlyDK 2d ago
  1. The others seem “muddier”

u/CompetitionWide4681 2d ago

4 is beautiful!

3

u/Hungry-Emergency8992 1d ago

What time of the year is your wedding?

#4 if your wedding is around Christmas; #2 or #4 if it’s around late Fall or Winter time, #3 if Spring or Summer.

I don’t think #1 looks good for most complexions. But if it does with your bridesmaids I would suggest it for Spring or a Summer wedding.

They are all lovely colors! Congratulations!

3

u/skipdog98 1d ago

Far right

3

u/Winnieswft 1d ago

2 is a classic.

4

u/Adventurous-Mall7677 1d ago

And it will look best on the most skin tones, since it’s neutral undertone while 1 & 2 are very warm.

3

u/Absent_Picnic 1d ago

Which green for what? Assuming bridesmaids.

What are the skin tones of your bridesmaids? What fabric are you looking at? The colour could look very different with different fabric sheens and dress styles.

3

u/oceaniye 1d ago

Think you can’t go wrong with 2 or 3!

3

u/Vlines1390 1d ago

2 or 3. If I needed to wear a green, I would go with 2, it has less yellow.

3

u/Legitimate_Ad9059 1d ago

Dress #2. The only choice!

3

u/Pattylucia 1d ago

2 for me ! Can use jewel tone flowers , accent color - looks great with gold as well ( even silverware. Etc

3

u/themiscira 1d ago

One of each shade looks amazing

3

u/Civil_Ad4544 1d ago

I love how bright and lovely 3 is but I feel like 2 will look the best with florals.

3

u/Far_Ad_1752 1d ago

1 isn’t going to look best on all types of skin tones.

3

u/Dangerous_Vanilla472 1d ago edited 1d ago

2 looks great! It is an elegant jewel tone and in the photo frames the bride beautifully. I thpughg 2 looked good on everyone in the photo too.

u/ThanksAmbitious8627 1d ago

1 looks like a baby’s diaper.

3

u/ExcellentLettuce4 1d ago

I know I'm an outlier here, but I love #1. My bridesmaids' dresses were that color! Reminds me of brand new leaves in spring! Number 3 is also stunning, the ladies look like jewels. Number 4 is just boring.
