There’s no question about it—the internet can’t stop talking about emerald. From engagement rings to decor, interior design to fashion, the color is everywhere. It’s no wonder emerald green bridesmaid dresses are gathering heat.
So, what is the meaning of the color emerald? Emerald is named after the emerald gemstone and because of that, it’s historically a very classic color. It symbolizes wealth, royalty, balance, and harmony. It brings a sense of prestige and luxury—plus, as it’s part of the green family, there’s a freshness that comes with emerald.
Sounds like the perfect color to add to a wedding lineup, no? Let’s get into the dresses!
