November Color Dilemma

I really like Pink...maybe I should have thought about that when I decided that I was dead-set on a fall wedding!

Anyway, I would love my girls to wear a darker shade of pink/berry color but it seems like all the shades are just too summery/springy. I suppose a wine or burgandy or wine color would work but I feel they are too dark! Oh the problems.

So, I found this dress :

which me and my girls love) and now I am thinking that this gold/champagne color might be a good compromise...and then have them have bouquets like these (which consist of my color scheme I would like anyway):

What do you guys think???

I think they look awesome together and that is a great compromise.
I am having Pink in late Septmeber... if you really want pink do whatever you want to do But the champagne dress is nice also.

i LOVE pink and am doing brown dresses that are accented with a hot pink ribbon (pale pink for MOH), all my flowers are pink and we will have pink table runners ...

a lot of pink - but the brown warms it up to a fall color

Pink and brown or pink and black look great all year round IMO.

I also wanted pink dresses, but the material of the dress we picked out just wouldn;t look nice in pink, so we are getting a pewter color, then will have pink flowers

Pink and gray are soo nice together I can't wait...Just b/c you wedding is in NOvember doesn't mean you can' do what you want

I agree. And pink is the new color.

How the colors that Sonicstef suggested. Or go with your choice of a berry colored dress (but not as dark as wine or burgandy, but those are nice too!) with different shades of pink flowers in the BM's Bo-Ks?

Re: November Color Dilemma

these are all great ideas...I like the idea of pink and black as stef suggested, but I can't seem to think that it is sooo Victoria's Secret hahaha. Anyway, I am not into dark colors (hence not really liking wine or burgandy) which is why brown doesn't appeal to me...

I like the dress I posted though...I think I may just have to have them all try it on..I fear that color may not look right on everyone!

I love the color you psoted. I am having a fall wedding. I originally wanted wine, then champagne, but my MOH wasn't sure how it would look on them, so I went with cranberry & as it turns out, my mom is wearing champagne.

I think a very light pink is muted & not springy. For example, Jim Hjelm has 'blush' and 'wisper' avaialabe for a lot of dresses, which are liek a neurtal champagne with a hint of pink. Blush is the pinker of the 2.

You could do that, with dark pink flowers or the campagne with any shade of pink flowers. The ones you posted work well.

Yeah I was thinking more of a mauve-y color also? Especially since my mom wants to wear champange too!!!!!!

Re: November Color Dilemma

Here is the color chart for Satin for Jim Hjelm. Not sure what material that dress is.


blush, wisper, taupe, mauve will all work.Mauve might be a little purple though. The tulip is probabaly too bright.
