Dusty blue is a stunning hue that can be easily tied into a range of different color schemes. Consider pairing it with silver, navy, or gray for a wintery event. Or, combine dusty blue with earth tones like sage green, terra-cotta, or mustard for a vineyard soiree or desert wedding. As one of the more popular bridal party dress colors, there are tons of different styles, shades, and undertones to choose from.
“When brides are going for a dusty blue color, we point out the different undertones that can occur across cool blue hues,” says Stacy Hamm, a stylist for Amsale. “It’s also important to look at fabrication when considering colors, because the type of fabric can change the way a color is perceived.”

If you don’t plan on wearing your dress again, a budget-friendly option is a fantastic way to save, and it also allows you to spend a little more on something you will wear again (like the shoes!). This dusty blue bridal party dress is, believe it or not, from SHEIN—and it’s only $45. The ankle-length one-shoulder dress is made from a non-stretch polyester that keeps its fit and flare shape with a tight bodice and flowing skirt. It also comes with high praise from customers who raved about its high-quality fabric, beautiful dusty blue color, and comfort.
The dress comes with some extra length, so be prepared to get it hemmed if you’re on the shorter side.

While this dress is technically a halter style, it offers a bit more with the neck and backline (we love the gathered strap detailing in the back). Made from a premium chiffon fabric, the dress features pleated draping across the bodice and a breezy ankle-length skirt. The best part, however, is the sizing. In addition to offering a range of sizes (including plus size), the brand offers the option to choose a custom size, so you don’t have to take your bridal party dress to a tailor upon arrival. All you have to do is click the “one size” option and fill out your measurement information, following the brand’s video tutorial.

Ensure every bridal party member is in a dress style they love and feel confident in (while keeping the color cohesive) with a convertible option. The 72styles Infinity Dress from Amazon is one of our top picks because it converts into so many different dress styles, including one shoulder, V-neck, halter, and even some more modest options, too. On top of its versatility, the dress is constructed from a super stretchy and soft polyester blend that drapes and wraps across the body comfortably.

This cute midi sports that trendy slip dress feel, but also offers a sweetheart neckline, ruffled hem, and a trumpet skirt silhouette. We love it because it has a more versatile design that works for both elegant and casual wedding dress codes.

The whimsical Maeve Tulle Dress from Revelry is a clear winner for best sleeves, thanks to the unique translucent puff sleeve detail, which can be worn as an off-the-shoulder style or on the shoulder to create a square neckline silhouette. The dress is double lined with a sheer bobbinet tulle shell, creating a beautiful texture and eye-catching dimension on the skirt.

When shopping for a fall bridal party dress, we recommend going for one with sleeves and a low neckline-or, conversely—a sleeveless silhouette with a high neckline. These styles highlight the in-between nature of the season. With its slightly ballooned sleeves, wrapped V-neckline and slitted skirt, this dress fits the bill. It’s made from a dreamy chiffon fabric and also has an incredible size range, including plus sizes and an option for customization, too.

We are all about the slip dress trend because it not only works as a stunning bridal party dress, but it’s also a timeless design you can wear again and again.

The Laurie Empire Dress from Birdy Grey has an amazing size range—including plus sizes as well as a curved cut—and is maternity-friendly.

This dress features a more conservative silhouette that doesn’t sacrifice style for modesty. From the floor-length skirt to the billowing short sleeves and high crewneck line, the dress feels elegant, chic, and classic. Like other Dear Cleo bridal party dresses, it’s also made from recycled yarns—so it has that eco-friendly factor—and is fully lined with pockets so you can keep your phone close by to capture candid bridal moments.
