Another fun topic!!!
When I was little, I read about a wedding in which the bridesmaids wore graduated shades of pink, from palest pink going through a dark shade and swore I would do that. I didn't understand why my mom told me that my groom couldn't wear pink too!
Later, I decided that if I had an autumn wedding that maybe shades of peach would do...
But time makes its own surprises and we were married just before Christmas in a lovely old stone church. The bridesmaids wore forest green and carried crescent bouquets of tiny evergreen branches,peppermint carnations, and little red Christmas balls. (Looked a lot better than it sounds!)
And no, I did not make Mr. Carnation wear forest green.
