Brides w/ chocolate BM dresses...

how do you think the chocolate color dress will look w/ the black tuxes? and what type of flowers are you having for your BM bo-k! we had a sample done already (this is before picking chocolate) and the flowers in the sample we blue hydrangeas and white roses.. what do you think? TIA

Re: Brides w/ chocolate BM dresses...

I was wondering how the chocolate would look w/ the black tuxes also!

As far as bouquets, we're getting married in the Fall so I definetly want warm-tones w/ the flowers. I'm thinking some burnt oranges, ambers, reds, pretty much the colors of autums leaves. I think the contrast will look nice against the chocolate brown!

Hydrangea looks really nice w/ chocolate by the way!!!

Re: Brides w/ chocolate BM dresses...

we will have black tuxes, personally i love how black and brown go together...

i am also assuming we would go with ivory shirts or a color to match my off white (not completely ivory though) gown...

as for flowers i think i am going with orange and pink for bouquets. i have to think about church flowers, but the reception will have flowerless centerpieces.

so far some flowers i like:

ETA: i like light blue with brown as well but our hall has pink in the carpet so i am going to stick with the pink and orange combo...

thanks so much for the pictures!!! at this point i am loving the chocolate color, but my FI feels its safer to go w/ the wine! I wish they had samples of the dress in every color- wouldn't that be great

I think the black tuxes will look totally fine. My girls will have pink roses in their bouquet and a pink flower in their hair. Pink and brown go really well together - exactly why those are my colors.

Good luck :)

My girls wore chocolate dresses and I had gotten the guys Burberry ties that have a chocolate plaid that matched. I got alot of compliments for it and the black tuxes looked great. The girls carried pale pink ranuculous and MOH had ivory and pink. I actually kept the color as a theme for the whole wedding. My tables had ivory cloths with chocolate brown runners and pale pink rose petals...

i had the saaaaaaaame dilemna. i was set with bordeaux dresses and then my mom was the one who suggested brown. the carpet at louis xvi has bright pink, which would make the red color hard to match, or so i thought. we checked out the colors again and after seeing a dress in macy's that i loooooved, combined with the fact that there was a nice deep brown color in the carpet, i decided to go the chocolate route. my mom is making the outfits (beaded tops with flowy skirts) and it was fun to go material shopping
