colors

i know i have time but i have no idea what colors i am having yet!!

i am going to have ivory/light gold (since the RH is all gold toned) but i dont know what the other color is going to be

i am thinking of purple, sage green, burgandy or brown

i love this dress for my BM but I'm not sure how it will look with gold accents but im not sure how it will look in the other colors either

BM Dress

I am also not sure if I should use summer colors or fall colors

what do you think?

since your RH is ivory/gold tones, burgundy would be a great accent color. It would pop against the paler colors.
Burgundy would not go with the color of the dress you chose, that would need greens and whites, and some shade of purple to bring out the color of the dress.

Best bet is to go to the paint store and look at combinations of paint swatches to get a better idea of what color goes with what.

burgandy would be beautiful - but i'm biased 'cause i used ivory, deep red & gold - i just think those hues go so elegant together! there's a whole bunch of pics in my review if u wanna look. but honestly, any of the colors u listed would probably be beautiful!

i can see why you are biased...your wedding looked absolutely beautiful

do you think burgandy might be too dark though?
i am getting marriend over labor day weekend so i'm not sure if it is right for the season

Try a lighter shade of burgundy, like berry or merlot, if you feel it would be too dark.
You can also do a champagne colored dress with burgundy accents in a sash.

I looked at the dress again.
The cocoa and marzipan colors would work with the gold/ivory tones, if you want lighter colors.
Vixen also does not look too dark. Save the burgundy for the flowers then.
You would have to see the swatches, because chiffon comes out a bit lighter.

thanks for the great advice

Which room are you in at Watermill. I thougth they were petty neutral. Yes, there is gold, but mostly ivoty and woods with some blue and yellow but just in the carpets really.

You dont have to match the room really.

I am doing tiffany blue with soft and hot pinks and greens and for the cps im doing ivory and pink flowers with small hot pink accent flowers and the ivory linnens.

It wont look bad if you have purple, green or even fall colors in either room.

well my original idea for colors was to have purple and silver or black white and silver so i just thought with the gold tones in the room it might look a lil funny.

i am in the astor suite (the room upstairs)

your colors sound beautiful

you girls have convinced me to go with the burgandy...i asked FH what he thought and he liked it (he actually showed some interest when I asked him unlike other colors I have suggeted to him previously)

THANKS!!!!!!
