Neutral Bridesmaid Dress Ideas for a March Wedding

March is when most of us start shedding our cocoons and looking forward to brighter, warmer days ahead. Wedding season isn’t in full swing yet, but it’s already on the horizon. A wave of classy neutrals hit the early spring wedding scene this year. If you’re thinking about soft beige or sage-hued bridesmaid attire, this one’s for you.

 Why Neutrals for Bridesmaids are Back In Style

Neutrals have slowly been taking over ever since the 90s. We’re seeing them in home design, couture, and, most recently, celebrity weddings. Neutral colors are splashing this season with champagne, rust, and even black wedding themes. Where does the love for neutral tones come from? Well, let’s start with New York Fashion Week.

The Fall/Winter show for NYFW 2025 was held in early February, and boy, were the neutrals out to play. Simplicity and wearability were the name of the game, with warm monochromatic tones including rich cream, fuzzy gray, and cozy chocolate brown. This year’s brides-to-be have understood the assignment, and these colors are slowly making their way into the wedding world.

Straying Away From the Stereotypical Spring Wedding

When people think “Spring,” the first things that come to mind are flowers, yellow, and cutesy floral dresses. The neutral trend this March is anything but that. It makes light, warm colors sophisticated, and the results are stunning.

Consider pastel green, for example—a classic spring wedding color choice. In 2025, we’re making it more grown-up by muting it down into a lovely sage and pairing it with beige. Pretty colors may have finally become too predictable for weddings in March, and brides are increasingly moving away from them. If all springs past have been about water and earth, this one is set to focus on everything airy.

Top Neutral Spring Wedding Colors for March 2025

Champagne

Champagne is a warm color with yellow undertones. It’s slightly more orange than cream but not full-on apricot, and it does exceptionally well with a bit of sparkle. It’s simple enough to be contemporary but showy enough for a wedding. The feeling this color generates is celebration and style with a touch of glam.

How to Style it on Bridesmaids

Champagne bridesmaid dresses are taking over the spring wedding scene—and with good reason! You can style them with almost any color, so they’ll never clash with anything. Style champagne bridesmaid dresses with nude heels and white flowers for a classy look or add bright orange blooms to play up the “spring” in spring wedding.

Barely-There Blush Pink

Okay, technically, pink is not a neutral tone, but we had to add it here because it’s currently making waves. Super subtle shades like calamine and plaster pink are pale and lovely, with a hint of vintage romance that screams sophistication.

The best way to style pale pink bridesmaid dresses is to play up the pinkness with matching pink bouquets. Roses and carnations are a classic choice. For fabrics, choose something flowy and ethereal to make it extra romantic, or go for silky satin in a simple cut for a modern twist.

Taupe

Taupe is a blend of brown and gray that sometimes has purple undertones. It’s cool-toned and slightly deeper than beige, making it the ideal neutral wedding color for evening ceremonies where you want a little more pop. Taupe can be dressed up or down, so it’s the ultimate color choice for brides who aren’t sure about the dress code yet!

We recommend pairing taupe with black and/or white for formal stylings. This understated color combination is a silent wealth staple. To make your taupe more springy, have your bridesmaids carry pastel bouquets of wildflowers.

Oat

Oat is almost like a very light taupe—it’s moody and cool yet bright enough for spring. Above all else, oat feels clean. In most lighting, it’s dreamily close to white, yet just different enough to make the bride stand out.

Oat-colored bridesmaid dresses are fabulous for rustic outdoor weddings against pale early spring skies. Style them with fronds of fluffy dried grasses or sprays of baby’s breath for a romantic effect. Go “undone” with the hair and makeup to play up the organic aesthetic.

A Note on Neutral Bridesmaid Dresses and Skin Tones

Neutrals can be tricky when your bridesmaids have very different skin tones. One person’s “nude” is another one’s peach, so choose your color palette wisely! It helps to pick your bridal party first, then consider the shade you’d like for their dresses. Gals with warmer-toned skin tend to shine brightest in warmer neutrals, while the same goes for cool complexions.

If you can’t decide, a safe choice would be something in-between that won’t wash out the individual. Champagne does this best, especially when you get it in shiny fabric. At the end of the day, it’s your wedding, so you can choose whatever color you like… and neutrals are hardly the worst choice out there. Remember, anything can be flattering, provided the silhouette is a winner!

How to Accessorize Neutral Bridesmaid Dresses

Soft neutrals are super easy to accessorize. They go with anything, so you can shop for carefree wedding shoes and jewelry. Here are some fun accessory pairing ideas for neutral bridesmaid dresses:

●       Classic: white roses, nude heels, soft up-dos with hidden pins.

●       Glam: sparkling gold jewelry and shoes, big earrings, orchid bouquets.

●       Romantic: kitten heels, cascading bouquets, “natural” makeup.

●       Modern: black jewelry and shoes, loose hair, miniature bouquets.

●       Rustic: grassy bouquets with orange flowers, dressy sandals, loose hair.

However you choose to style your neutral bridal party, remember to have fun! Embracing the simplicity and modernism of a neutral palette creates room for experimentation in other areas for a truly unique spring wedding aesthetic.
