ok gals! I thought I had my colors decided on. I definitely want a vibrant shade of pink (fuschia-ish), and originally I added tangerine and yellow. So the girls were going to wear pink and the flowers and decor would be pink, yel low. tangerine. I still love the look of this, but feel that it is a bit too beachy and tropical (and beachy is great, but not what I was going for). Although I want vibrant and cheerful, I want some classic and more traditional color that will make my look more glamarous (for a lack of a better word). So now I'm thinking fuschia (fuschia's staying either way, pops of tangerine and yellow, and dark blue (navy). Does that match??? Is it too many colors?? At this point I'm thinking about putting the girls in blue dresses and doing pink, yellow, and tangerine flowers and decor. Any other suggestions???? I definitely want to keep the pink, and want the colors to be vibrant, but need a color that is more classic and traditional...thanks girls...hope this made sense..i wrote this as fast as I was thinking it lol!

Re: colors are driving my CRAZY!!!!! HELPPPPP!
this is my exact prob i def want a Hot pink or a fuschia but idk exactly how without making it look to loud or 'prom-ish' for lack of a better word.... i was thinking of doing the fuschia bm dresses and have them have white flowers and i will have my white dress with the hotpink/ fuschia flowers... but then i thought of black bm dresses with the pink flowers and i just keep changing my mind lol... ive googled pictures and asked around but i think the best bet is gonna be when u go looking for bm dresses to get the best idea

I changed my mind about 10 times before I decided on a color combo.
The one thing that really helped me was ordering a swatch chart from ALfred Angelo. I'm not going with that designer anymore, but I was able to hold up the different color swatches up to each other to compare. The color of the designer that I'm going with now is extremely close to Alfred Angelo too. I think a lot of them are pretty close from what I have seen.

I did navy BM dresses with a fuschia bow and all bright fuschia flowers... I have a bunch of pics in my review and in my albums. But I think adding other bright colors would look great too!

Yes! Go on the Alfred Angelo website and order ONE bridal party bundle. I think it comes with one bride catalog, one bridesmaid, and one colorswatch folder with like 55 colors that you can peel off and re-apply.
Only order one, I accidentally ordered 5, and they charged me $35. I know I'm stupid sometimes!

I'm glad I'm not the only one whose back and forth with picking a color scheme. The whole vibrant yet elegant thing is driving me nuts! I may have to order those color swatches as well

I went to home depot and took those paint strip samples and mixed and matched. Also, check out www.theperfectpalette.blogspot.com for inspiration boards. I found mine there!

Have you thought of black to contrast? You could still do the fuschia, tangerine and yellow. Maybe the bridesmaid's can wear black dresses, and their flowers can be fushia, tangerine and yellow for contrast.
The tablecloths at your RH can be a soft yellow with fushia and tangerine flowers with black chargers or napkins?
Just a thought.

Here is a pic of a BM dress i wore this summer. It is Bill Levkoff watermelon. I loved the flowers but i think it would look awesome with some vibrant colors - yellows oranges even purples to make the flowers pop!
