Ok so i'm getting married August 9th at Villa Lombardi's. I originally chose the Bill Levkoff 966 dress for my bridesmaids in taupe with a champagne sash. After seeing it in person, it looks way to fall looking for August. So now I want to change my color at the very last minute. I love the euro pink with the champagne sash AND the champagne with the taupe sash (see below). I am so undecided and desperately need opinions! I am nervous that I won't stand out with the champagne (my dress is the SAME color as the one shown below so this is exactly what it would look like). Although, the pink looks a little peachy so I am not sure about that. Please let me know which one you like better and if you have any other color suggestions for summer in the exact dress. It is impossible to tell from those tiny swatches they show you! Thanks in advance for the help!

50/50 AHHHHHHH!

these polls end up being even more confusing most of the time hahahaha. I still go with my idea of getting the 1st dress in taupe and the sash in champagne, just reverse the colors of the first dress, but thats just me hahaha

I'd go with pink, but I'm bias because that's my color and also, I'm do not like taupe/brown or any color within that family personally for dresses. I'd go with the color you love the most and the one that you'll be able to choose flowers for easily.

well i say go with what makes you happiest...but how come is that your original idea but youre not sure of it? is it bc you think its too dark? if so i dont think its dark at all. I think its an elegant color and goes well especially if you have a bigger bridal party...ahhhh theres a pic i have but not on this comp with a big bp next to the bride in that color.

I like the pink. The taupe seems alittle washed out to me.

Yeah I thought it was too dark for August. How are you doing the tux's with taupe dresses?

The maid of honors (2 sisters) are doing the same exact colors as the other girls. Same dress color and same sash....except their dress is style 454....same thing as 966 just embroidery in the sash. Just a side note... :)

I'm doing the same BM dresses....i think that 966's embroidery gives the dress alittle something more!!

No such thing as too dark or light for any time of year. Those color 'rules' are long gone out the window. Get whatever color you like best. It's YOUR wedding!!

Personally I like the taupe, but then again I'm not a pink kind of girl ever.
