How Did You Pick Your Colors?

Re: How Did You Pick Your Colors?

That was one thing I wasnt going to stress over. I went very simple- I went with our favorite colors. We both like blue so we are doing 2 shades of blue and ivory ,because I am wearing an ivory dress.

I was leaning towards li8ke an olive green then I imagined what my pics would look like, just a big blob of doo doo green lol then I eventually decided that I wanted to do a butterfly theme, slowly it all fell together and my final decision was yellowish/gold and pink

Re: How Did You Pick Your Colors?

I can totally relate. I'm getting married new years eve and I think a long black BM dress would be so appropriate. I then have my mom telling me that it's going to look like a funeral! (totally not mean about it, just trying to persuade me otherwise) I try to chalk it up to her being old fashioned, but then again she's putting these thoughts in my head!!!

FH just asked me earlier today if all brides have as much trouble with BM dresses as I am, haha

Re: How Did You Pick Your Colors?

not to mention some girls look great in some colors and not so hot in others! FH's have no idea how lucky they are. You and your boys just throw on a tux and look like studs.

I just keep telling myself it'll all work out and everyoone will look fab.

Re: How Did You Pick Your Colors?

I have always liked black - it looks good on everyone so that is how I picked.

Re: How Did You Pick Your Colors?

I wanted a dark color not a pastel. and I love purple...thats how i decided on eggplant

Re: How Did You Pick Your Colors?

i understand completely i have changed my colors at least 50 times! i finally decided on lavender just because it is summery and i am going to accent off of that like pale greens and yellows... i think i am going to do a knee length flowey black dress for the girls because they will all look good in black and then use the flowers to brighten it up.

Re: How Did You Pick Your Colors?

Re: How Did You Pick Your Colors?

I wanted something timeless and a dress color that would flatter everyone. BLACK! It is also one of my favorite colors. At the time I was looking into this, all the Xmas stuff was in the stores, and a metallic champagne color kept popping up, which I loved. So I chose black dresses and had my aunt sew champagne sashes. I think the colors worked well for my winter wedding. pix in album

Re: How Did You Pick Your Colors?

I don't want an all white wedding dress so I had asked the designer (ordered online) for fabric swatches of colors. Seeing the actual swatches of what my dress would come close to looking like, as well as the BM's dresses made it very easy. I picked a 'Spice' color that I fell in love with. This happened to go well with the butterfly/sunflower/ garden theme(s) that I am still deciding between.

Re: How Did You Pick Your Colors?

Keep in mind I was a design major- Think of the big picture! Step back and think! Is this a color that frames me well? Would this be a color that I would wear personally! I know that I would never put my girls in a color that I would never wear. Remembering that I'm in white that day, and that I am depending on this color to make me look great! Also, you might want to take in to consideration- if this color scheme is classic and somewhat timeless looking! I would hate to look back at my pictures and say that they look dated! Just remember- the darker the bridesmaid dress color the more the bride is going to pop off of that picture, the softer the color, the less contrast between your gown and theirs!. Hope this helps!

Re: How Did You Pick Your Colors?

We're getting married in January, so we wanted to stay away from reds & greens because we didn't want the possibility that it would feel holiday-ish. We figured since it snows in January & it's cold, Blues, Silver, & Ivory -I'm wearing an Ivory dress- would be a pretty color palet to work with. The BMs will be in Indigo blue, the MOH/BM/FG/RB will wear Blue Jay blue, & we will incorporate silver & ivory into their flowers & jewelry & the decor at the wedding... We're just doing a snowflake theme I guess

Re: How Did You Pick Your Colors?

Re: How Did You Pick Your Colors?

i have always been obsessed with Black and had always loved how wedding pictures looked when the BMs and the GMs were in black and the bride was in white
