Summer Brides
What colors are you using??? I really like purple but I can't decide if it's to dark for summer.

Re: Summer Brides
I am going gold with champagne/ivory accents. I think they are such classic and elegant colors.

That sounds like a beautiful combo!
Loveee it !
As far as purple in the summer, I think it's fine (I think any color is fine for any season, I'm a 'rules were made to be broken' kinda gal)-- but if you're concerned about it being too dark, how about going with a violet?

I am having a Eggplant/Plum BM dresses, I am going to incorporate light pink and light green with flowers, I like pastel colors, but I think darker colors will be more flattering on my BMs

Re: Summer Brides
I guess I'm still technically Spring (1st week in June), but I consider June as a whole Summer.My main color is red. I plan on having my BM's in red, I will have all red roses, my BM's will have a mix of red and white roses. GM's will have traditional black tuxes. And there might be some hints of silver around.

Re: Summer Brides
Purple is one of those colors that u can use year round imo depending on the shade.My bf is using purple in august and she's going for a lighter purple.
I'm also using purple for a sept wedding and going for a darker more jewel toned color.

haha - I am doing the same too! Not sure if I am going to incorporate light pink or light color though for the flowers, but I am going to be adding light green and white to the flowers too. I LOVE the dark shade of purple for the BM dresses - plus it will look so good on my BMs

For flowers I was thinking light pink and green hydrangeas, white cali lilies and pale purple roses. . . . . Did you get your BM dresses?
I haven't looked yet, but I like some Bill Levkoff, and Jim Helm dresses.
edit: You are getting married on my Birthday, actually it will be my 30th B-day! Yikes!
