Just looking for some advice. Our colours are red white & blue but I was thinking of silver dresses for the bridesmaids. I will be wearing ivory with blue & ivory flowers and the girls flowers will be red & ivory. So I was thinking originally blue dresses but then thought maybe silver. Can I have your advice please ladies xx

I think personally I would go for blue with silver accessories such as jewellery, shoes, brooches and whatnot, i am certain you will find blue much easier to find as well :) x

i think if you managed to find silver it would look lovely but it likely is a much more difficult colour to find, i think blue looks lovely against the ivory of a wedding dress in the pictures x

I'd go with blue, unless you get a glitzy dress in silver, many will look grey.
Thanks ladies. Will have a look at both once I start dress shopping. No one knows yet we are getting married and we are loving it that way just now. Less interference and people wanting to take over. Its our day and our way lol xx

He will also have his cufflinks as well but I get to keep my whole outfit so want him to have a few things from his to keep as well. Don't get me wrong if we could get a good deal on buying his then I would (best not say that to him lol) xx
