Traditional brides keep bridesmaids classic with white, pale blues, pink
More traditional Nashville brides are choosing whites, pale blues and pinks. Prefer a classic wedding? Consider using white as an accent color, alternating lilac and pale pink bridesmaids’ dresses are a nice choice. Kerri loves these two fabric colors:
Kerri has noticed traditional brides pairing this silvery metallic with pale colors, such as this Antique Blue fabric:
Contemporary brides are loving metallic
Contemporary brides are deciding to go with teals, purples, and grays. En vogue brides are opting more and more for metallic fabrics to enhance their color palettes, or just using them as the main color inspiration. The Patricia Dress, a Kerried Away Couture design, looks fabulous in a metallic silver on the bridal party pictured below.

Purple hues work for summer and fall weddings; Teal offers a pop!
Kerri said that purple and plum hues are definitely fashionable for the summer season among contemporary brides. Matching different purples together is a great idea, as long as you add in a neutral gray or silver. A couple of purples to try together are a deep purple like Blackberry on the left, and a more muted plum like the one on the right called Raisin. Kerri suggests adding in gray or metallic silver as an accent color to add depth and cohesion. Kerri says that a common thread for both modern and traditional brides is metallic.

Another very popular color among brides this year is teal. Pair this teal, called Peacock, with a neutral gold metallic, called Aztec Gold, and it will surely wow guests.
Above all else, Kerri says don’t be afraid to mix and match colors and always ask your designer if you have doubts about your color choices. To see more of Kerried Away Couture’s dress designs be sure to check out her website!

My favorite part of the whole day is when a bride and groom walk back down the aisle after the kiss. It only lasts for a few minutes, but the joy displayed from the new Mr. & Mrs. is one of a kind.The genuine happiness that brides, grooms, family members and friends exude during the wedding day is contagious! Every wedding is unique, and being a part of it as a wedding photographer is so rewarding. I feel extremely blessed to document such a monumental day for couples. I’m most excited about bringing more wedding information to brides in Nashville! Nashville has a wide variety of wedding resources and Ashley’s Bride Guide makes it easy for couples to find vendor information quickly. I can’t wait to help couples find their perfect Nashville vendors.
