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.
My mother chose a mid-blue dress. MIL chose a lighter blue dress, beaded up and down
. GMIL on her side did likewise
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.)
