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

ok here this should work, on the site it was a bmp file so thats why



It's nice, but I was hoping to go warmer for the fall.



do you like the sage or no. I like the sand too its pretty



I love sage and was originally going to do sage and pink, but then wanted to do really warm colors for setpember... I'm so confused, Denise, lol



this is going in a different direction lol but do you like cranberry



LOL, love it, but I think my BM who is getting married is using that color (i want to be different)

wow the wine color IS gorgeous!!! i agree with denise- what about a frappuccino color?? its close to sand, no? i think it would be pretty with your dress.. and its in the family with the gold color you were originally leaning toward...

i dont think it would be too much! it would make a nice contrast with your dress, but not too much that it would look bad at all!!

hmmm why would it be too much...we all have either white/ivory dresses so if that were the case that color wouldn't go with any of our dresses. White goes with everything so any color would go

That is the problem. The material dictates the colors and they don't have a taupe or frappacinno. it comes in sand, pineapple, sky blue, steel, pewter, wine, rose, navy, olive, black, autumn gold

I know it goes. I mean too much like, everything is a saft color, linens and flowers are all going to be ivory, there is no color, so I wanted a warm color to just accent the creams and beiges...

I'll have to look in person and hold it next to my dress -- the more I think about it, the more of a possibility it might be...

well IMO if youre having light colored flowers i wouldnt do light colored BM dresses then.. everything will blend in together.. you want contrast to make the pictures pop! i wouldnt want beige/cream/white and no other colors.. just bein honest!

I agree! The problem is finding something that isn't SUPER dark OR SIPER light. I love levkoff's taupe or camal, but JH doesn't make that color

i would go with the olive, especially since you dont like the brown and black tux look together, in the pics it can resemble brown a bit



Thanks. I like the gold best, but think the olive will go better. Also, the green is a bit lighter in person.

I'm just so scared to order it and then not like it when it comes in.



i like the olive better...i voted that.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that dress
