IM REALLY HAVING ISSUES

With my colors- okay check this out.

my BM dresses are Claret Red and my theme is V-day/Red/ Love blah blah blah

My Hall is Browns/ Golds-

I think a red theme would look gorgeous in here- Red Roses and gold links hanging from them....

I have two junior bridesmaids that I had wanted in Pink

QUESTION IS
WILL PINK FIT IN? or should I STICK WITH RED FOR ENTIRE BP?

Re: IM REALLY HAVING ISSUES

i dont know if its just the color on the comp but i wasnt crazy about how those 2 colors look together! but it could be a different story in person. Is there anyway you can see those dres colors together to get a better idea?

I also agree that I don't care for the red and pink together in this instance... I think all read will look best. JMO

Re: IM REALLY HAVING ISSUES

to be honest, I think having pink would throw the whole look off....I love your color scheme btw, it's gorgeous!

Re: IM REALLY HAVING ISSUES

I think the pink is gorgeous but it might throw off the gold.

I'd stick with the red!!! Red and Gold looks hot!!

Re: IM REALLY HAVING ISSUES

the problem is that is not a typical pink color so i think thats whats throwing it off.

Re: IM REALLY HAVING ISSUES

Re: IM REALLY HAVING ISSUES

I personally think all red will look better. Maybe you can use red and pink in the bo-ks, but keep all red in the room. You RH colors are pretty neutral so you will match either way.

I love those CPs. They will look awesome in your RH room!

yeah- i agree, its a slightly purple pink.

Did the girls try on the dresses in the pink and red. How did it look next to each other. If you liked the colors together then it should be fine. Maybe still use both colors in the bo-ks to tie it together.

Re: IM REALLY HAVING ISSUES

All red I think that will look so elegant at Russo's. Is you gown white or ivory? Maybe the JBM's could be in your gown color with a sash of red or a bolero of red.

Re: IM REALLY HAVING ISSUES

Im doing Apple Red for my BM dresses and my florist was like oh good so we can do red and pink centerpieces etc etc and I was like NO WAY. ME, personally, I do NOT like Pink and Red together so Im doing Red, cream and whites for my flowers and All Red BM dresses only. I think ALL red is beautiful!!

Re: IM REALLY HAVING ISSUES

ditto on the all red ...

Re: IM REALLY HAVING ISSUES

yea, the red and pink might clash. maybe do a different shade of red?

Re: IM REALLY HAVING ISSUES

I agree with all red. Only some pinks look good with red and since every batch of BM dresses are different you never know what you are going to get.

Re: IM REALLY HAVING ISSUES

I love that red. Very sexy and sets the tone. Pink with that red will clash.

If you want both colors, you will need to pick different red and pink - go for same intensity of both colors.

If I were you, I would pick all red and play around with bo-k colors a bit?
Or if you have other design in mind....ex: full length dress with a tie ribbon around the waist, perhaps you can use pink waist ribbon for your younger BM
