17 Teal Bridesmaid Dresses for a Gorgeous Pop of Color

Fluker says that teal bridesmaid dresses go well with navy, pinks, cream, gold, and brown tones. “If you’re looking to bring more vibrant color into your wedding palette, teal complements gold, maroon, coral, and purple hues,” she notes. “If your color palette steers more on the neutral side, teal can be matched well with soft taupe, cream, grey, white, and classic black.

Generally speaking, bridesmaids can expect to pay for their own dresses. However, if you know that some of your bridesmaids aren’t in a financial position to spend several hundred dollars, you can choose to either pay for theirs. Or you can offer flexibility in terms of dress choice. For example, brides might choose to give their bridesmaids the general direction of teal as a color palette but tell them they can find their own dresses and run them by you before buying; this often results in a lovely mix-and-match aesthetic that still has a color scheme.

Fluker notes that teal is a year-round color for weddings. “A color that is not too bright and not too bold, teal is versatile enough to incorporate into your wedding at any time of the year,” she says. “I love lighter, greener variations of teal for spring and summer and darker, deep jewel tone blue variations of teal for fall and winter.”

It’s best to keep the accessories minimal with a teal bridesmaid dress because it is such a vibrant color. Pick one or two pieces of jewelry, like a drop earring and a cocktail ring, as well as a good shoe, whether that’s a silver heel or white sandal. Less is more here: Pick accessories that will make the dress pop rather than overload the ensemble.

Yes, you can! While teal can be a bold color and feels better suited for a destination or casual wedding, a deeper shade of teal would be an elegant choice for a formal wedding. For a black-tie wedding, we love floor-length dark teal dresses in a silk or satin fabric.
