Fh hates wedding colors.

Ok so my Stephen is opposed to pink. we already picked the Bm dresses in Rose and light pink. I am not NOT not changing them again.
I am making monograms and he is like..'why can't we do them in blue???' Umm cuz the colors are PINK!!!!!!!!

He won't pick any of my monograms... 'the pink is too distracting' and 'Why do the letters have to twirl into each other like that, I can't see what it says'

He won't do 'we do' letters....

Pink flowers on the cake suck....

He does want to wear anything pink... Including botueneers...


I LOVE PINK!!!!! What to do??
P.S. His favorite color is blue...Every godam thing in our house will be blue and very masculine because most of it is his stuff.... WHY CAN'T I HAVE PINK for my wedding... WHAAAAA!!!!!

I feel like I am rebelling cuz every bed linen or house decoration I like is flowery and pink or purple!!


VENT OVER!!!! HA HA wow that sounds really mad.. I am not that mad about it.. He has no say really....

Re: Fh hates wedding colors.

From the FH point of view - I could see how a guy would be overwhelmed by all the pink. I think that Jenniesunshine is going with pink - but having blue accents as well.

(you could tell him that - and make it a light blue so that everyone is happy!)

I found if you let the FH take care of the menu and the HM it keeps them surprisingly busy and out of trouble.

Re: Fh hates wedding colors.

My colors are pink and my FI is so NOT into pink but even though it is your wedding day (meaning the 2 of you), it is mainly the bride so you should get to choose. Is there a color you can agree on?

Re: Fh hates wedding colors.

yeah I will send him to look at cake.
I am not trying to overload on Pink.. Like I won't make the guys wear pink vests. But the monograms should be in pink.. and the flowers... He is not really too concerned about it... He just complained a little last night.
He knows I am the boss!!

Re: Fh hates wedding colors.

Here's how I feel as a fellow pink lover. I'm not allowed to have any pink decor in the house AT ALL. The wedding is my chance to have everything the color I want and, luckily, FH understands that. To your FH, I would say this, 'Either you see pink for 5 hours on the wedding day or you see it for 50 years in our house.'

ETA: Just saw Ronkonkomonga's post--I'm having Tiffany's blue (aqua) as the accent color. It's a really girly wedding I don't think I'd do pink and a real blue though because it might look a little like a baby shower

Re: Fh hates wedding colors.

Im so sorry, but I can so see steve asking why the letters are all swirly!

Tell him Chris loves the 'We do' letters!!!

We need to sit down and have a talk with Mr. Steve. We need to show him pics of the 'we do' set up and maybe he'll change his mind. If not I'll have green shirt lady give him a big ol hug. Nutshell!!!!!

Re: Fh hates wedding colors.

Like others mentioned, I'd just add an accent color as a compromise. I'm doing pink and green because i know FI would hate everything pink. I can have my pink flowers and pink accents, but the groomsmen can coordinate with green ties. Though he doesn't understand why the groomsmen need to match the bridemaids at all - I had to explain that to him. But, that's another story.

Re: Fh hates wedding colors.

Your FH hates pink?!?!?! When i showed my FH the color of the bridesmaid dresses (a very deep wine/burgundy) he thought the color was too dark for a june wedding, so he proposed pink..I was like what is wrong with you, what man says why don't the girls get pink dresses??? It was too funny.....then I slowly explained to him that we're having a black tie affair and I like the darker dresses and he wouldn't have to wear a pink bout...he then said, well thats better then....it was pretty funny

Re: Fh hates wedding colors.

well, at least he realizes that you're the boss! if there's ever a doubt, let us LIW ladies know and we will stage an intervention

i agree, maybe throwing in an accent color would make him more agreeable... is that something you'd consider?

oh, btw, you could always use the vanderbilt mansion decor as an excuse - the curtains and tapestries are burgundy, so you HAVE to use something in the pink family - blue would clash!

Re: Fh hates wedding colors.

alexlynn-
That is my excuse.. I am using rose to coordinate with the decor and light pink to accent. The dresses are the darker rose with a light pink sash.
I don't really want to throw a 3rd color in because i think 3 colors are too much... Oh well, he will have to deal.

Divabride..... this is me in nutshell!!!!!!

Re: Fh hates wedding colors.

i didn't realize that you were having two shades of pink, but now that i'm looking at your post above, it's spelled out clear as day

anyway, the vanderbilt decor excuse is a great one... i had it all lined up in case fh put forth any resistance to the pink. but he knows better

Re: Fh hates wedding colors.

I can understand why he doesn't want all pink. I think a good compromise is to introduce an accent color - I think a light shade of green would look great or I have seen pink and brown go very nice together. I tend to disagree that the bride should get her way ALL of the time with regard to the wedding. I think it is important for the groom to feel comfortable that day. That is why I think an accent color is a good compromise because you still get to have pink.

JMO.

Re: Fh hates wedding colors.

What are 'we do' letters?

Re: Fh hates wedding colors.

My colors are pink and fuschia and it took a long time to convince FH to go with it. I can see his resevations about pink, but if you added an accent like silver or platinum, which is what I had to do to appease him, maybe he will be more on board.
