Don’t worry if all of your bridesmaids don’t fit under the same category, you’ll still be able to find something to suit everyone. It’s easy to find colours that suit both 'Autumn' and 'Spring' girls (such as camel or gold), or a colour that suits both 'Winter' and 'Summer' girls.
If you have a mixture of all four skin types, then why not pick more than one colour and combine them together. Coloured details such as sashes or embellishments help keep a theme running throughout the dresses. If you want everyone to wear the same colour then consider emerald green, purple as these two colours suit almost all skin and hair tones.
