Reception candy bar (with sparkly Toms shoes for guests to take home!) Found it when I Googled sparkly Toms. lol.

That neon candy thing with the sparkly shoes is too garish! It makes my eyes bleed!

This is my scheme! My bridesmaids dresses are pretty much that color and I'm going with hydrangeas! :-)

It appears that, somehow, in this entire thread, I have failed to post our own wedding colors and theme.

Our wedding colors were blue, blue, and ... um ... oh yes, blue.

DH's favorite color is blue, and I love everything in the blue/purple range of the spectrum.

I picked out pale blue dresses for my bridesmaids. My MOH (a sorority sister) wore her dress again, at another sorority sister's wedding. I asked my bridesmaids to pay for their own dresses and shoes, so I deliberately picked something they could wear again, and I'm honored that my MOH did so. I actually meant to order one for myself, but I was distracted by a few little things, like, oh, getting married. :p

My mother chose a mid-blue dress. MIL chose a lighter blue dress, beaded up and down :rolleyes: . GMIL on her side did likewise :rolleyes: GMIL on DH's dad's side chose a mid-blue dress and a black cardigan. (She is forgiven the black cardigan as she was quite elderly. She has since passed away.)

:mad:

^^^ooooh, pretty...

Looks like a Sigma Kappa themed wedding to me! :)

I couldn't see myself doing this scheme if I ever get married, but I definitely like it a lot. It is very soothing to the eye.

I really love the first purple one listed on this page! I'm going to a wedding later this summer where everything is purple (linens at reception and flowers). But the bridesmaids have just been instructed to get black cocktail dresses. Curious to see how everything for this wedding comes together.

I LOVE shades of purple!

Pastels done right!

I LOVE this!

Great colors! ^^^

Holy bridal clavicals, Batman! And why are most of the bridesmaids not really smiling?


(I'll just add a rant.... I'm sooooo over strapless gowns. Over.)

I was thinking more like Tri Sigma, considering the couples' last name ;)

I'm tired of bridesmaids continually digging their fingers into the tops of their strapless gowns and pulling them up. Do they ever fit?

Not my experience at all, unless they make it so tight that you can barely breathe. I hate strapless. This may depend largely on your body type.

I'm tired of seeing BRIDES tugging up the front of their strapless gowns, not to mention the hundreds of bridesmaids put through strapless horror, myself included. There is nothing "strapless" that goes with natural DD's. Get the thing tight enough to keep the girls up, and then you can't breath or eat all night. Hell, that goes for spaghetti straps too. I hope that when my siblings get married, they don't ask me to be in the bridal party.

I'ma big fan of the "here's the color for the dresses, pick a style that looks good on you in that color" brides. Especially with places that have dresses in all styles made from the same fabric...what's the difference if one looks good in a strapless and another in a one-shoulder and another in a sweetheart? Wouldn't you rather they all look good than cookie cutter?
