OK so this post has nothing to do with bunnies and everything to do with wedding planning....

I'm stuck, and looking for opinions..

Neil and I are getting married on September 7th of this year, so I amin full wedding planning mode. I have most of the bigthings... invitations, dress, place, food, drinks, centerpieces, dj,guest list, minister, photographer... and this week I should have theflowers, table cloths/chair covers and bridesmaid dresses settled.

That's where I'm stuck though - dress colors..

So I am doing fall colors. My main color was going to bechocolate brown and all the various fall colors as accents -oranges/reds/golds.

So here is what my dress looks like:

Flowers are these colors:

These are my invitations:

And so now I am torn... do I want to have chocolate brown dresses, orshould I go for more color... I like things that are very simple,classy... so here are my options that I narrowed it down to..

Sooo... what do you guys think? Which would look best withthe flowers? If I go with something darker, I would get moreof the lighter colored flowers in that bouquet, but same basic colors.

Thoughts???

***side note*** i love you dress

i think the chocolate brown. the red/black seems to dark, and thered/white doesn't grab my attention. . . the green/white seems topastel . . .

i like the chocolate brown one!

I think either of the red ones would look best,personally...and I find myself leaning toward the red with theblack.

Wow...what gorgeous colors!!

Weddings are so amazing...but I know the heck you're going through in planning it and I totally feel for you....

Let me know if you need any ideas, or anything, ok?

Hugs!

I like the red with the black ribbon. VERY pretty autumn colors.

I am loving the red/black one.

Nice choices so far!!

 

[HoneyPot]

Cool! So I have pretty much eliminated the green one - which seems to be the concencus so far...

I'm really town between the brown and the burgundy/black.

I love your colors! My brother isgetting married in late September and I think they're doing a similarcolor scheme. I like the red/black too. That darkred is probably my favorite color. I like the shade of brown,but not so much with the white trim.

 

[maherwoman]

Oh...that's BROWN? I'm sorry...hehe...for some reason, they both looked red to me.

:embarrassed: Hehe!!

 

[HoneyPot]

Rosie... heehee - there's 2 red ones and thebrown up there. I think you were talking about liking the twoon the right?

The brown is the second one...

Firstly congrats on the wedding!:bunnydance:

Beautiful dress, you'll look stunning!

My favourite bridesmaid dress is the fourth one, butI also really like the third. Gorgeous!

I love how simple everything is, and yet like you said, so classy.

 

[maherwoman]

Oh, haha!! I get it now...THAT one, I thought was black...lol!!!

I'm a goof...

 

[JadeIcing]

How many girls? Skin tone and hair color?

 

[HoneyPot]

Good questions Alicia!!

2 girls, 1 asian, and 1 indian.

I'm also brown (west-indian)complexion. That's whyi threw in the green... the other colors may be too dark but, i lookgood in black, and that brown is close to black...

all black hair...

First off, Congrats!

Next, I just got married last October, so I know how the planning mode is!

That is a beautiful dress you picked. And it's so funny because Ipicked the same type of flowers you did (same color scheme...very falllike).

Here's the bridesmaidsdress I picked w/ the flowers you have:

It looked really nice w/ the flowers. Here's some photos from the wedding:

That's my sis and I (I'm the bride...hehe).

I'd try to avoid, although it's cute, the red w/ black sash dress.The flowers will get lost against that as a backdrop.

Green is the constrasting color to red, so they would pop off of thedress. Plus you could get away w/ green because September is betweenSummer and Fall.

I like the black (obviously from my own wedding). I choose it becauseit made the flowers pop and it was easier to coordinate the tuxes (theyhad gray vests).

The brown is a cute dress, however, I'd like to see the color in personfirst, as it looks very similiar to the red on the internet.

I'm like a pro at this now (currently helping 2 friends plan theres), so if you need anyhelp or support, let me know!

Ditto.

By the way same color theme.

Edit:When I got married thatis.

 

[lalena2148]

OH! That's chocolate brown second from the left and not black?

Huh, must just be the picture! That's my pick as well!

I had eight bridesmaids, maid of honor, twoflower girls, and one little girl dressed like me. Eightgrooms men, bestman, and ring bearer. 2 witnesses and my grandma andstepdad gave me away.

I love the red/black one. It seems to "pop" the most to me.

Is there any way to take a sample of your flowers into the dress shopand see what looks best? Or even get a sample swatch of thefabric colours to take to the floral shop?

That would be the best way to see what colours go best together.

Your dress is gorgeous!

I like the red/black dress the most. I think it would look great with the flowers.

I am a fan of white only for the bride, so I think dresses with nowhite for the bridesmaids would make your own dress stand out the most.
