BM dress color -HELP-- I'm so undecided!!!

Original post by yelley77

I need something that is going to complement my dress and I think that an earth tone would be best. I like the Jim Hjelm Autumn Gold or Olive. However, the gold sometimes looks brown and I don't really care for brown and black (tuxedo's) together). Please let me know which color you like or think will go best. Thanks!

Here is my dress:



Here is my BM dress



Here is the Olive color



And here is the Gold color

I love both olive and gold colors in general but these look dark. I love that JH dress. Do you want to pick a lighter gold color to match your gown??



I originally wanted like the bill levkoff euro gold, or taupe, but i couldn't find any BL dressed that i liked on all the girls. Then I fould JH and loved this dress and liked the darker colors... I should go find the swatch again



Yes pl post the swatch color. I was just looking at swatches myself my my BM dresses

I would say go for the olive.
What color flowers will the girls have?



All the flowers are ivory cala lillies and orchids



So you know what definitley go for the olive. I think the ivory cala lillies and orchids would look beautiful against a dark dress.

oh yeah its so different from designer to designer and many have their own names for colors so not like you can say taupe for example for every designer, some call it sand/cream/frappuccino

i voted olive....i think it would be really nice for a sept wedding! IMO the gold might be too much next to your dress,,,,,did you get your dress yet?? if not , when it comes in maybe you can hold it up next to both colors and see how it looks??
