Help!

I need some color ideas. I was debating on Wine but it doesn't seem very springy.

Originally I had Nov in minid for my wedding but things changed and now we're going with March but I don't know if the color will look a little wierd. I'm not a fan of light colors.

I've been in so many weddings and seen black and blue and purple, but thats not me. I want something unique but don't want to seem awkward.

Can anyone help me?!?!?!?!?

I don't think you need to have anything springy.
The weather right now is very common for mid-march, and no one I know is really thinking spring right now!

If you like wine, go for it!

Do whatever colors you want to do. So much has changed from typical etiquette that it doesn't matter. I had a spring wedding and my girls wore black and carried red roses. Those are my 2 favorite colors, no matter when I got married.

Think of it this way: Do the guys have to wear pastel just because it's spring? So then why do the girls?

How about red?

i'm doing red!

Red is my absolute favorite color!!! Unfortunately, the BM dress I chose did not come in a pretty red shade

YOu can go with any color you want.

My girls and I chose copper for the BM's and cinnamon for the matron of honor.

I love these dresses!!!

I wouldn't think of doing a short dress unless thats what the girls really wanted.

I'm way too indecissive on everything, then again, i was the one that wanted to elope and make things easier.

I think the hardest part is decided the color since everything kinda falls in line with that, the dresses, the flowers the groom etc.....

I'm probably gonna just go with it and tell the girls to do whatever they want for the dress.

Re: Bridesmaid Colors

I think you could easily make wine look 'springy' with some bright or light colored flowers.

Re: Bridesmaid Colors

We're using a color called 'spruce.' It's teal but with a little more green in it.

Re: Bridesmaid Colors

here's some colors - these are the swatches for the company I'm using. They're not $$ - my girls paid $120 each I think.

Do you like anything here?

Re: Bridesmaid Colors

i know someone that just got married in march and she had a wine color, i think you can still do it, because its not till the end of march that spring is over. if thats your favorite do it,
