Wedding Colors/Theme

[hannahgirl]

got married in August....bridesmaids wore sage green (peridot according to david's bridal) and the roses were bright pink and light pink. my bouquet also had white roses with the bright and light pink. the colors went really well together.

on our invites we did a black and white theme with an accent ribbon of sage green, bright pink, or light pink.....we kept this theme with all the paper stuff too.

i posted my colors, but here is what it all looked like.



i had them all pick out their own dresses and it looked great! my sister was my MOH so her's got to be totally different.

another one.....the girl on the bottom left was my guest book girl/hostess.....i had her get a dress, too, in the same color but shorter.



my bouquet....i didn't want any white.....i figured the dress was enough! that's my granny's hankerchief around the flowers as my something old.

I don't know if this will work....usually WhiteDaisy is my wonderful picture poster

I got married in August and used a mix of green, pink, and white. The bridesmaids wore "peridot" (David's Bridal version of sage green) and their flowers were bright pink and light pink. My flowers were bright and light pink and white.

no theme in particular. We got married in Las Vegas--that is enough of a theme as it is

Our colors were Navy and Silver

I was just going to post that I think that navy blue and silver will be our wedding colors. It wasn't until after I started talking about it to my mom that she started giggling. I hadn't even thought of the fact that they are the colors of our favorite football team, the Dallas Cowboys. I had to defend that I didn't choose them because of that!

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.

You can see their different dresses here a little better:


My RED bouquet (50 roses!!) - it was HEAVY!


The Reception Set Up (sorry, bad photo"stitching" job)


The Cake (soooo good!!):

I know I've said this before but I love your cake.

Your 50 rose bouquet HAD to be heavy. I've carried dozen rose ones as a bridesmaid and even that was a little heavy to me.

Wow! I love, love, love this cake. I love how your wedding turned out. (Yes, I even found your "bio" on The Knot.)

My colors were burgundy (sp?) and silver. My bridesmaid's wore all different dresses in that color and the junior bridesmaid wore a slightly lighter color. The groomsmen wore burgundy vests and bow-ties. Our favors were light burgundy candles wrapped in silver mesh bags. The linens were silverish and the chair wraps burgundy.

I just got engaged, but we are hoping for an Oct. 08 wedding. Unfortunately my first two choices are booked for the whole month already.

My colors are going to be a chocolate brown and a bordeaux color with hints of dark orange. Since I haven't picked out BM dresses yet, I'm not sure which color I'm going to have them wear.

So pretty!!!! I love fall weddings that use actual fall colors A friend of mine did that and had the girls wear the bordeaux color in a floor length strapless dress. It looked awesome in the photos.

We had chocolate cake at our wedding. Everyone loved it! I know it's not the 'traditional' cake but we like chocolate so since it was our wedding we did things our way. I think it's caused a few raised eyebrows down in Fla where my parents are but eh. We were so happy!! People were asking for 2nds!

That looks delicious. I love chocolate. Honestly, I think most weddings are totally mediocre. It's cool to see people doing their own thing and going against tradition a little, even if it raises a few eyebrows.
