HELP! so we have picked our wedding colour scheme and recently discovered it...

HELP! so we have picked our wedding colour scheme and recently discovered it is similar to one of our good friends colour scheme who is getting married a year later then us.. I'm still keen to the colours but what's your thoughts on this? Their wedding was organised before ours so not sure if I'm being unfair.. Thanks in advance x

It's your wedding, not theirs. And let's be honest - there are only so many colours you can have. Guests won't bother about colour schemes anyway, so have the colour you want :)

every wedding is different even if the colour scheme is similar x

Why not talk to your friend and explain the situation. It is only a colour. The dresses, decor, flowers etc will most likely be very different so does it really matter

It's your wedding but I would speak to them to let them know you have similar colours xxx

Doesn't matter. Nobody will compare the 2 because every wedding is different

have a word with her and discuss the differncec and see if she minds u may find u both have pink but different centrepiece and room decor will make it look completely different any way

If someone had the same colour scheme as me I wouldn't of minded.

So many people end up with the same colours - I wouldn't worry about it! It's just a colour... if you were having exactly the same design etc of everything else, then I'd maybe reconsider!

Wouldn't bother me unless somebody had copied everything. It's only a colour scheme & there are so many variations on each colour anyways.

Lots of people end up with the same colour scheme as long as ur not having the same dresses, venue, flowers n all other details it's fine :) I went to 3 friends weddings who all had purple but the weddings were all totally different x

I'd just speak to her, tell her your situation and go from there, it may be different shades or maybe she's changed her mind.. or has she possibly got more than one colour anyway, all questions that can only be answered if you speak to her 🙂 I'm sure you can settle your mind once you've spoken. Xx

My sister and I got engaged around same time I let her choose which year she wanted she's getting married 2019 so I chose 2018 . I know my sister wouldn't chose pink and rose gold for her colours as that's not her personality I would have changed my colours if it was or other way round i do think it is rude if they planned theirs first

I'd planned our wedding years ago, colour scheme the whole 9 yards. My sister set a date and wanted help with ideas. I'd saved loads of clippings, ideas, dresses etc so I showed her what I'd chosen and liked so she could get an idea.
Low and behold, she pretty much had my wedding. She used everything, even the cake I wanted.
I'd speak to your friend and ask her opinion.
I had to totally re-plan ours, so the colour scheme is totally different, venue totally different, dress choices totally different etc. I'm also not involving her in any planning at all, I know she'll try and ruin it if I do.

If it's bothering you all you can do is speak to her.. Some brides have hissy fits others dont!
You won't know unless you speak to her..
But if she refuses to budge then you be the bigger person and change yours x

Even if you have the same colour the two weddings will look completely different

Go ahead with it, its just a colour doesnt mean your wedding is going to be the same x

Have whatever colour you want! It's yours and your partners wedding so you should have the colours you like. I don't know why everyone worries about everyone else, it's your big day hun don't worry, you have what you both want. X

Talk to your friend other elements of your day will probably be very different anyway, I would not worry x

Every wedding is totally different what makes it different is the style an shades an the people so i wouldnt worry you could speak to her about it but if she is a good friend then it wont bother her and for the DJ she is bang out of order its your wedding i would send her a email saying you would like to go through the list as it feels its not what you want an you have requests x Good Luck
