Move over, blush—there’s a new soft shade in town! Butter yellow bridesmaid dresses are having a major moment, and the color is dominating everywhere from the ceremony to the casual night out. Yeah, we totally see why. Light, sunny, and effortlessly chic, this muted pastel is the perfect summer hue. Whether you’re walking down the aisle on bridesmaid duty or celebrating as a wedding guest, butter yellow (AKA pale yellow) brings a fresh, fashion-forward vibe that’s surprisingly versatile.
This spring, we introduced our brand-new shade Pale Yellow: a dreamy, delicate tone that’s right on trend and available across our most-loved bridesmaid and occasion styles. Here’s exactly how to wear this trending color for weddings and every sun-soaked celebration on your calendar.
Butter Yellow Bridesmaid Dresses That Glow
There’s nothing like a warm, sunny color palette to set the tone for a summer wedding, and pale yellow is the perfect pick. It complements a variety of skin tones, photographs beautifully in golden hour light, and plays well with neutrals, greens, and dusty pinks.
From airy chiffon gowns with flutter sleeves to sleek satin silhouettes. Whether your bridal party is going for mismatched or monochromatic, this hue brings a light, cheerful energy to the look without overpowering. Pro tip: Pair pale yellow bridesmaid dresses with white florals and lots of greenery for a timeless, garden-inspired aesthetic—and don’t forget the guys!
Wedding Guest Style, Reimagined
Want to stand out just enough at your next summer wedding? A buttery yellow is the answer. It’s polished yet playful, soft yet statement-making. From midi-length occasion dresses with romantic ruffles to sleek sheath dresses perfect for dancing under the stars, we’ve got what you need. This subtle color offers a fresh alternative to the typical summer florals and bold brights, making it ideal for outdoor weddings, brunch receptions, or destination I-do’s.
Say Yes to Yellow: Decor, Details & More
Incorporating pale yellow into your wedding doesn’t have to stop at attire! Consider these creative ways to embrace the trend:
- Floral Arrangements: Mix butter yellow roses, ranunculus, or tulips with cream and white blooms for a soft, tonal look.
- Table Settings: Add pale yellow napkins, candles, or vintage glassware to create an inviting tablescape.
- Wedding Cake: Subtle yellow accents on your cake (think pressed florals or a watercolor buttercream design) offer a chic nod to the trend.
- Bridal Accessories: A bouquet ribbon, hair pin, or clutch in pale yellow adds a whisper of color without overwhelming your look.
Not Just for Weddings
Pale yellow is also perfect for rewearing beyond the big day. Bridesmaid and guest dresses in sunny shades double as dresses for baby showers, graduations, brunches, and other special occasions. Pair them with a kitten heel sandal or casual-cute sneakers for a cool-girl vibe you’ll love all season long.
