color or BM's / Time of year question

ok, heres my question. I was originally planning on doing black and pink. per my bm's request they would prefer black dresses and we would do pink flowers etc....which was FINE with me. BUT i am having a day time wedding and trying to make things a bit more casual...and i think black will not help with that.

ok so i thought about going back to the pink..which is an option...but recently i realized how much i LOOVE the dark green color (below), so i thought doing that green with pink accent would be a great idea. Here is my delima. I am getting married in late April, before many flowers are planted, so most of the pics will be green (grass/trees etc) and im afraid that having green dresses in addition to all the greenery will be GREEN OVERBOARD! any opinions. would anyone else be concerned about this???

Re: color or BM's / Time of year question

When my BM's picked out their dresses, I was torn between the green or wine (which we got)...Even though there will not be too many flowers out, I do not think it will be too much! The green gives you the option to really make the flowers you pick bold!

Re: color or BM's / Time of year question

I love greeen...especially the color of the dresses in the post. IMO, pink flowers would really be a nice touch but I don't think green would be too much. If the flowers are a different shade of green from the dress, I think it'll look nice.

Re: color or BM's / Time of year question

I love the green- and if you voice your concerns to your photo people I am sure they will adress that and pose everyone a little differently...

the only thing i would suggest is talking to your girls about exactly what shade you will go with and have them try it if possible- some shades of green can be tough to wear jmo

Re: color or BM's / Time of year question

I think the green will look great, even if your surroundings in pics will be green. The pink flowers will add some color. You shouldn't be concerned.

I also think the BM's will wear a green dress again if that's why they were leaning towards black in the first place.

Re: color or BM's / Time of year question

I agree with every one else, you won't be going overboard with the green. You can always take pics inside your RH if you're concerned about the background.

Re: color or BM's / Time of year question

I was originally planning on going with green dresses and pink flowers. But now I'm getting married St Patrick's Day weekend so I don't want green anymore. I love the look - it is so nice for the spring.
