Summer weddings are the perfect time to have fun with a brighter color palette, as warmer weather and lots of sunshine call for vivid hues in various shades of pink, orange, yellow, and light blue. But if you want to do something a little different than opting for traditional bridal party tones, peach summer bridesmaid dresses are the way to go. Why? Well, peach is bright without being overwhelming, fun and carefree, and is fit for the season.
Before diving into this color, however, it's important to note that it can sometimes be difficult to find the ideal hue given the variety of options out there. For instance, peach is generally described as a light orange shade, with pink or yellow tones, but can also resemble a dark and muted orange or bronze. Nevertheless, the assortment of hues available does allow for tons of choices, which can also make it easy to put together a less matchy-matchy and more coordinated look for the summer.
Ready to start shopping? Whether you want a dress that is long and flowing or short and more form-fitting, we've put together a list of beautiful peach summer bridesmaid dresses that everyone will love.

What to Look for in a Peach Summer Bridesmaid Dress
When looking for any peach summer bridesmaid dress, you want to first hone in on the exact shade you'd like to embrace. (For bridesmaids shopping for their own looks, be sure to consult with the bride first before selecting a color.) Next, it's important to ensure that your selection is lightweight and comfortable in the heat and sun, no matter the shade. Opt for lighter fabrics like chiffon, tulle, charmeuse, or organza, in addition to flowy and breezy silhouettes. Lastly, avoid anything too stifling, like velvet, heavy satin, or heavy sequins.
