Vote on BM dress color

Fall wedding, which one would you choose? My BM's are split on their opinions.

Personally, I would go with the wine. Charcoal is in the black/grey family. The season has soo many bright colors, go with color!!

i'd go with the wine...

i like the charcoal, but one has to be very careful with shades of gray on people. i guess i am a little biased though, the wedding with the worst brides maids dresses ever was a co-worker of my FH's where the girls wore gray. they looked like they crawled out of bed and wrapped a sheet around them - horrendous!

I honestly really like both of them. With the charcoal, you can do so many things with the flowers - cause everything will go and it is different. I am not sure if you will have a big selection if you went with the wine. But then I am not sure what your plans are. Again - I like them both.
I'm not sure if I helped but good luck!

I like them both but I think wine is better for a wedding

Re: Vote on BM dress color

Thanks girls. The sample was in the charcoal so I am having a hard time deciding between the two since I am not good at picturing the real thing in any other color but whats in front of me ya know? What color flowers do you all think would go with the wine? We were originally thinking mango calas, black magic roses, terra cotta roses, those champagne colored roses, and gold or yellow callas as well for the flowers with the gray dress. Would these still go with the wine?

Re: Vote on BM dress color

All of the flowers you mentioned would be great. About picturing the color of the dress, contact a couple of bridal salons - sometimes I found that the colors that I was looking at they had due to having an extra or that another bridal party had ordered them. I think it is worth a try - Good Luck!

Re: Vote on BM dress color

That is so scarry ....I gave my girls the same designer.....same dress choice with the same color ...even down to almost the same flower combo..I love Charcol however it did not look good on everyone ....so we are going with the wine

that is creapy though

ps.. see if the store has a sample in wine even if its a different dress ...i know its difficult to imagine what it would look like
