How do you decide? there are so many different colours to choose, or themes,...

How do you decide? there are so many different colours to choose, or themes, styles, flowers, decorations etc.. every time I think I have decided I see something else I like. How are people managing to decide?

I am letting my grown up daughter choose her dress (subject to my approval) and that will pretty much guide my colour scheme.

I've always loved Alice in Wonderland. Always dreamed of having a big tea party. I am really happy that my h2b loves this idea as it is a little something different

I decided to not have a fixed colour and chose a pastel theme for my bridesmaids. That was because i knew my 2 neices wouldn't pick the same colour and didn't want one not enjoying this special time. In all honesty when i found a picture on pintrest i fell in love with the idea and my bridesmaids love it too xx

I chose purples and gold. I wanted a colour different to my brothers' weddings and purple is one of my favourite colours. We chose a rustic theme because it goes so well with our venue. I'd say just look at ideas on Pinterest, then look and see if there is something in particular that really appeals to you. Good luck!

I am fitting my colour scheme around the colours on my tartan (a mixture of navy, emerald and purple) as the men are going to be in kilts :D

I wanted a relaxed summer theme so I'm going with yellow as my main colour. Can't get more summery than that 😊

I'm getting married on saturday and only stopped making changes to the colour scheme a few weeks ago. It really is difficult because there are so many amazing and beautiful themes and ideas to choose from.

Our date lead our theme of navy and soft grey. There are so many beautiful themes and colours but when we thought about what we wanted it just fell into place

I love bright colours so decided to have them all! I decided for decor and flowers I would have all bright colours and then chose a main colour for bridesmaid dresses, mens ties and chair sashes etc that compliment lots of bright colours (I chose navy) and just came up with my own colour scheme :)

Surprisingly my other half chose ours 😂 I had minimal say! We're having royal Blue, Grey and cream/ivory. Have what you like or have as many colours as you want! It is your wedding after all. Good luck!x

Blue and white inspired by some flowers I bought once to put on my mums grave. Also blue is my fav colour

Shades of purple & lilac are my favourite.. so that was easy, and young bridesmaid & flowergirls dresses have butterflys so having them as an accent...

Suzanne Macdonald

I'm having the same dilemma but there is one particular colour that I like and it would suit our venue perfectly so we will work around that 🙂 x

I was all set on a color until I went to my nieces prom. I couldn't help but be inspired by the different colors on display

I had red & blue. He is a chelsea & kansas city chiefs fan and blue is my fav colour so it worked. We ended up as a red/white/blue x

Mine was easy. My Nan loved yardleys lavender and my late MIL to be loved purple........ so we are using shades from Cadbury purple through to pale lilac as they were 2 women who are dearly missed

I struggled making this decision as well. I eventually went with the colours of the flowers I could get easily (affordable) during the time of year of my wedding.

Shop for bridesmaids dresses first and base it on which colour you like most! I was heart set on pink (Had planned evrything in pink even made my own flowers) but then when I went bridesmaid dress shopping I didn't like any pink dresses on the girls. We ended up loving a navy dress and had to change the whole colour scheme!

Don't over think things just pick a couple then have a look on the internet then just make a quick decision :)

I let my fiancé choose the colour scheme (he chose my fav colour anyway!) and I’m having a theme based around both of our hobbies. Which is plants and crafts! My friend on the other hand is having a Harry Potter themed wedding. Make it personal.

My last client chose her love for music and his love for football and I put them together for her flowers .

Mine is red, yellow and blue because I really hate the idea of having a girly "pastel" kinda wedding. It's the grooms day as well! Plus the colours fit my theme.

We loved the idea of wild flowers so have chosen a sage colour with jugs of wild flowers and a natural theme

I decided by the gemstone that I absolutely adore. Which is tanzanite. It has deep rich blues with purple hues. Very autumnal and I get married in 27 days so it goes with the season too.
