ok girls im going nuts picking colors! help!

i dont know what to do! i can't seem to make my mind up! help!

I always loved pink and i always wanted my girls to be in pink ... at first i thought i would put them in fushia and then have them hold light and fushia colored flowers ... now im leaning towards fushia and orange ... is it too loud? then i was thinking about doing tiffany blue and brown .. but i feel like that is more of a beach color theme and im getting married at the westbury manor which is a garden theme. then i was thinking about pink and brown ... but can you do bright pink and brown? Ahhh what should i do???

all i can say is that i went through a million color schemes in my head until i booked my flowers and started picking out BM dresses. don't let yourself get too caught up in the picture galleries online. go out there and start looking @ BM dress swatches to help you settle on something.

there are plenty of ways to incorporate bright pink. i saw on the knot that pairing it with navy is a 'hot trend.'

I'm in the same boat! I want pink and green but I can't decide if I want pink dresses with lite/dark pink, white flowers with greens or green dresses with pink flowers!!!

BTW I forgot to comment on your colors- I def. thinkl you can do the brown with pink or blue regardless of the rh. Those are really nice color combos but I think brown with a light pink is nice!

pink and orange is very nice. It gives that extra pop.

I went to a wedding where the colors were brown and pink ant is looked so pretty. That would be a really nice option for you
I'm leaning more towards burgandy and pink....I'm a HUGE fan of pink too

I'm obsessed with getting the right color pink that I want= which is a raspberry color!!!

Raspberry should be really easy to get, it's very popular! I went through a BUNCH of color schemes before i FINALLY decided! It really helped me make a color inspiration board. Just to see ALL of the colors together, it helps kep you focused while choosing your dresses,flowers, etc.. It wasn't unitl I created a few that I decided. It really helped!
The colors you're considering are ALL beautiful, just a matter of preference. If you don't get to an inspiration board it will come together once you start looking at BM dresses!

I am getting married at WM the day before you, and I am doing a beach theme. And honestly, I didn't even think about the WM being garden-y...
But I am doing the beach theme b/c that will be my last name.

But I LOVE fushia and orange... I don't think it is too loud! I always wanted pink too... until I wanted the beach theme. But I might do light pink flowers in the mix somehow.

It is a bit loud, but I would play around with color pallets. Maybe pick up a small quantity of fabric to play around iwth....OR, better yet, pick of the color swatches at a paint store. You'll be able to find the exact color sthat you TRUELY want... That's how I decided on the shades of blue and purple that I am using.

I like the pink and orange idea! They are very gardeny colors. If you think its too loud maybe you could tone it down with some dark greens. Didyou check out the theme board on here there are alot of great ideas from other brides scroll through them and see if something catches your eye!

HTH good luck
I debate my colors all the time

Mich...pink and orange sounds really pretty. I'm doing light and bright pink....but you already know this. That would look cute too....you can even do light pink, bright pink and orange....that would go too.

i know it might sound ugly and loud but look at this picture ... i do like it! i just think it might be over kill on invitation, chair ribbons ect.

Re: ok girls im going nuts picking colors! help!

i dont think it would be overkill, you dont have to have every single thing in that color. Your chairs can be covered in white only and your flowers could be those colors. Your invitations can have a touch of those colors or none at all....there are ways to add in the colors without going overboard.

Love that centerpiece!! I am looking into ones very similar to that! I don't think its too much, especially for a summer wedding. I wouldn't go crazy about the colors until you pick your BM dresses. I had something set in my mind and then when I picked the BM dress it didn't come in the color I wanted so now we are actually doing black dress with a pink/rose colored sash and really bright flowers. I think its going to look awesome in pictures, cant wait!! I say go for it!

I would check out color palettes on the websites below to see what you think. One of them will start to 'speak' to you like mine did. When I tell people my colors they say 'That's SO you!' That's how I know I made the right choices.
