Your opinion, please!! What color ???

Original post by yswedding

So my ceremony is outdoors and there is virtually no shade, so I decided to get a bunch of parasols for the at least half the guests (the ladies).

They are made of rice paper. What color do I get them in?

My boq:


No bridesmaids, just 4 flower girls wearing this with green sash:


They all have bamboo handles and stems.
the ebay seller forthemodernbride sells them if anyone is interested.




I'm going to mimic this best I can the chair flowers will probably be similar colors to my boq, so I'm wondering if I should go brighter?:

i would go with white just in case the pinks or oranges clash with the shade of all your other stuff, plus even with white everything would still be bright

hmmm I'm between the fuschia and the ivory. It depends, obviously the fuschia is going to be very bright and stand out and the Ivory will blend so depending on which way you want to go....I love the idea, they look so nice in pics!! GL choosing!

I think you should go with the color that's used the least in your color scheme. That way they'll complement and not overpower.
I mean picture 50 ladies with a dominant color and then your flowergirls and bouquets. Too much I think.

I'd go with tea. It's neutral, but more antique-y than bland. Are people taking them home or are you keeping them? How many chartreuse parasols can you stand having around your house after it's over?

If you get a neutral, you can re-use as gifts or decor or favors for another event.

I like the grass and the ivory. I too think that you shuld use a color that is used the least in your color scheme. Try not to a pick a darker color. You don't want the sun beaming down on it.

Love your FG dresses!! & Colors!!

okay...
White or ivory is always safe
Dont like green, Fushia, Mango or Tea with the pink dresses

I chose other bc I think the pink parasols would look perfect for the girls. The other colors def go with your theme but in pics of the girls the pink parasol would look best IMO

maybe you can ask your photographer what color he/she thinks would look nice in a photo.

or perhaps you can get several different colors rather than just 1 color
