Blue in October?: Posted: Dec 14, 2009 10:11 AM; Hi!

I'm getting married October 9, 2010 and I have NO IDEA what colors I want to use. I love blue - cornflower, especially, or something even lighter - capri, I think? However, I also like the idea of a fall themed wedding. Part of the reason I picked October is because I love how the leaves all change colors, etc. I'm afraid that a pinkish orange bridesmaid dress won't look good on my bridesmaids, though! I have one red head and we are all super fair, so I'm afraid everybody will look washed out.

We are doing a light shopping trip next month, but I hate to wait that long to decide!

Any advice?

:o)

Re: Blue in October?: Posted: Dec 14, 2009 11:43 AM Go to message in response to: Soon2BeStorie; First off, congrats! :) Fall weddings are always gorgeous, and the possibilities for colors are endless! I definitely think you can make blue work in your color scheme. You shouldn't completely cater to your bridesmaids taste in color - but, being a readhead myself, I have to admit I kind of shudder at the thought of having to wear a pinkish-orange bridesmaid dress! haha... but seriously... If you want blue, write down a few of your other favorite colors that you might want to include, or colors you feel would look good on your bridesmaids.

What about combining the light cornflower blue with a fall color like gold, deep red, or dark green? The bridesmaids could wear any of those colors with a light blue sash, or blue dresses with fall colored flowers? Or, you could always use a different shade of blue, like slate or navy, I would just try to stay away from anything too bright or pastel. It's all a process of elimination. It took me FOREVER to come up with my color combination, but it was worth the obsession and over analyzing in the end! Good luck!

I will have to play with the navy idea - it sounds like it might just be the answer I'm looking for.

That made me feel better! Thank you again for the boost! I'm starting to see a clearer picture...

Re: Blue in October?: Posted: Dec 14, 2009 5:37 PM Go to message in response to: Soon2BeStorie; Congratulations! I think if you want blue then go with blue. I don't think all your bridesmaids will looked washed out, once they have there hair done and makeup on. I have very light skin and everybody tells me I look good in blue. Test it out, have everybody put there makeup on and do there hair and try on some dresses.

I was going to do a sea blue with apple green because we're having a spring wedding, but decided to do a deeper blue instead. Go for it!
