Forum Poll OK I've got the paper (to make the invites) for my wedding which I love but it is slightly the wrong colour. I wanted duck egg blue and this is more of a sage green but shines blue in certain lights. I'm having a hard time to get a colour match to the paper for ribbons and other paper to match it. I've found a company in hull that print to any colour. Would you say I'm being OTT by going to such lengths to get the right colour. If I get this paper then it means that I can make a pattern on it using embossing powders etc to give it a pattern or use an embossing plate so I can have a strip of patterned and a plain underneath.

If it is not the right colour tell them you paid for duck agg blue and sage green

I would buy the new paper because its better to get exacly what you want radther than settling for the colour thats arrived because all you'll be thinking when you see the invitation is thats the wrong colour and i should have got the other paper xxx

order the new paper!!!! the thing is as ive found with our colour (turquoise) there are 27 different shades but once u compromise on 1 thing ul find yaself sayin ''well its nearly the same'' more n more often n before u no it ul have a mish mash of colours.................. me n mil2b did this and once everything was 2gether i had 2 take stock of the fact it looked silly as nothing matched ....we started again n now i religiously take my colour swatch everywhere with me..... dont compromise its ur day....its the 1 thing u are allowed 2 obsess over without gettin crap 4 it, x x x x

buy the new paper. if you dont you will regret not having everything perfect and how you wanted it!

i know how you feel... I am having baby pink but i couldnt find any invite that i liked with that colour so i just got dark pink instead.. they still looked nice (:

We've had a similar problem with our 'midnight blue'. It's between a navy and royal blue and it's a flipping nightmare to try and match the colours from different places. We've comprimised. In my bouquet of crystals and feathers, mum's doing dark blue and some light blue and from a distance the colour looks perfect. I couldn't get my MoH's dress in the exact colour, so we've gone for Royal Blue in her dress but will get a darker colour for my UK BM. It won't matter as they will never be together (MoH is doing the Vegas wedding and BM is doing the London reception).

Well most of the old paper is now cut up ready for the invites so I don't think I could sell it lol. I can use it for scrap booking though so it wouldn't be wasted. Just waiting for some samples and then I will make up my mind. Might treat myself to an embossing machine too.

If it's only £15 I'd definitely get the new paper - things look great when they match and oterwise it'll bug you :) You're really not being a bridezilla either! xx

order the new one, otherwise you wont be happy with it x
