Check out my Goof...

Original post by SFP0214

First. I am not letting myself get upset over this. I realized I goofed as soon as the BM dresses came.. I made peace with it..I even thought up solution..

Here is the problem. My mom is making the FG dresses. They were originally designed to take elements from both my dress (i.e., the sheer overlay and bottom detailing) and the BM dresses (i.e., The two pink colors and the sashes going down the back. The darker pink would be found in the sash going around the waist and the lighter pink in the flower on the bow.).
Barrons was making the sashes to go around the dresses for us. I went in to pick the colors and eyeballed from what I remembered the Bm dresses colors as. Here was the mistake. The darker pink in the BM dresses was much lighter than I remembered. SO the sash around the FG dresses was much darker than the BM dresses were.
I found a solution.... I decided that I would pull in the the NEW third pink color by wrapping the BM flower stems in that DARKER pink color.. really mauve...

What do you think of the colors together? DO they look alright?

PART 2 of needed advice to follow in a minute...

I think that the boquet will have the color. I
The place where I got my BM dresses made a little stink about me having them make it. I bought a yard of the material to match my BM dresses & they were like well we are going to have to charge you--no fooling did they think I didn't know that--boy oh boy---I just can't take it anymore. I wonder if I just went to barron's with the material woudl they charge me the same--I only need one even if it is a little mroe i wouldnt care b/c I really like yours.



Sorry to hijack- I would say forget the bridal salon and go to seamstress who would be happy for the work. I love mine!
