Wedding Colors/Theme

PhoenixAzul · #1 07-17-2007, 10:51 PM

So I've picked a weird time to get married. I'm not quite sure what the heck I'm planning. We're getting married Nov. 8 of 08. So...late fall, early winter. It is western PA so it could snow. Or it could be beautiful. I've sort of "decided" upon a red theme, with very light gold accents. My dress itself is a "light gold" (ivory to most sane people) so that's sort of why I went that way. Plus it is easy to get bridesmaids dresses in reds and golds and other fall colors.

OK, so you know how I posted this a while ago? Well, I changed my mind. And my date. We moved it back to 15 Nov. 2008 (ok, so a week!) to get the reception space we *really* wanted rather than getting one we *kinda* wanted. So the hall is in a park, and its got huuuugee windows and a huge fireplace and such, and I made some comment to my mom like, "oh won't the leaves be lovely". And she said to me, "there won't be any, there will probably be a lot of brown and a lot leaves on the ground honey." Didn't think anything of it. And then my bridesminions, mom and I went out to look at dresses, and chose a really awesome deep brown dress from Bill Levkoff. And then it hit me...browns w/ fallish accents! Hot damn! It's easy, it's multicolored, and it fits *perfectly* with the outdoorsyish sort of place we're having. It fits w/ the color of my dress, the flowers i'm going to use will pop out, and all is well in the world! w00t.

My bridesmaids wore brown Bill Levkoff dresses. They turned out really nice

^^^ Haha, Ren, my bridesmaids chose the exact same dresses, color and all. You look lovely!

Beautiful weddings, AlphaGamDiva, White Daisy and DSTRen! Much prettier than my 80s wedding (sorry bridesmaids - I really thought those pink dresses looked good)

Great Ideas! I'm getting married May 17, 2008. So far all is going well. My sister is my only attendant plus my fiance's best friend. Since my friends are so spread out I would rather them come to the wedding than worry about bridesmaid duties. Plus I would probably have to have 20 bridesmaids, which sort of freaked me out!

I really love DSTRen's colors and your wedding cake.

Since this has been such a long engagement (it will be over a year in May when we get hitched) I have been doing everything slowly month by month. My sister and my mom just have to get their dresses and then I'm done. Oh and I will order invitations in January. My color is hydrangea blue since I love blue hydrangeas!

I'm starting to get very excited!

One of my friends is getting married and is having some issues picking colors (she's a graphic design major so she has alot of favorites). Any suggestions?
