i decided on my colours a while ago. i wanted aqua and maybe a bit of pink somewhere.
i ordered my bm dresses in aqua on christmas day from china.
i've been looking at bouquets and i'm still undecided on whether i'll go with fresh flowers, foam, silk, wooden, paper, feather or even just a fan (it'll be HAWT over there!!)
i've been thinking today that i quite fancy the bms holding a single pink gerbera an me with a really small bouquet of 5
BUT i've been looking at pictures of the pink and orange gerberas together and i really really want to change my colours to pink and orange!!!! i think it's too late to change my order and orange is a tough colour to wear...but i REALLY want my orange and pink
I'M MARRIED!!!

why not Aqua orange and pink? If you google it theres some really nice mood boards with all three colours in :)

I was going to have pink and orange gerberas too but we changed venues and that colour scheme just wouldnt fit with the new venue :(
I think aqua would go really nicely with the orange and pink, very tropical! :D
CommentAuthorMrsKisywisy
that's what i think!!
i might get some orange and pink sashes to put around the aqua dresses and see if that'll work before i say for definite

CommentAuthorMrsKisywisy
how do you think i could fit them together though?? the dresses are already ordered in aqua.
i wish i had just said to the bm to get a dress of their choice in X colour. i like the non-uniform look. can't afford to change the dresses now :(

I would go for maybe organze sashes so its not solid colour around the dress. one sash orange one sash pink would look lovely. Message the person you buying them from and see if it is too late it might not be if they are busy making others.

I think orange, aqua and pink looks good. I wanted to post a link to some nice flowers on your wall, but it won't let me. Have a look on my wall, but just ignore the green flowers.
I think you could have pink dress with aqua sashes, aqua dress with orange sash and orange dress with pink sash. Or if you have to keep the dresses aqua, I agree with @JEm1905 and have one dress with pink organza sash and one dress with orange organza sash.
Best of luck though with whatever happens. Let me know yeah? xxx
CommentAuthorLittleMissBossy
I know you've already changed your mind but I would have LOVED all 3 dresses different with the different coloured sashes!

i no what u mean i got purple now but really want orange but got everything in purple now so thats the colour lol unless i win the lottery then it will be orange lol xx
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
i think either option is fine either all aqua with coloured sashes and the single gerbera is great i think that your bouquet can be pink and orange and then the aqua is with the girl. or have them in all different colours and sashes and three gerberas in the three colours and then you could get your bouquet to have 9 flowers in 3 of each?

Kisywisy, love your bm dresses, would u mind sending me the sellers id?
CommentAuthorJanie
we nearly got those dresses! Theyre lush, well they look it. hint for sashes - chair bows! MUCH cheaper and made of the same stuff, either silk or organza. and they work, we tried ours out today :) pink and orange gerberas would look nice with aqua dresses :)

CommentAuthorMrsKisywisy
i'll post on your wall kath :)
i ordered one a few months ago to check quality as they're from china and i was really impressed. they are SMALL MADE though so i'd order one size up. i also ordered the wrong shade, but as it was only a 'practice dress' i wasn't worried
i've decided to do aqua, pink and orange. i'm going to pick the ivory ribbon off and tie orange/pink tulle around instead. also thinking about putting a layer of tulle over the full dress, as the aqua would still show through. or take the dresses up and have a orange/pink underskirt
all just ideas just now :)

CommentAuthorMrsKisywisy
coloured underskirts are cool!!
if i go with the underskirt, i'd like to have one too!!!!!! my dress is floor length though, do you think that'll matter or should i maybe take it up very slightly and the front??
I'M MARRIED!!!

CommentAuthorJanie
i would take it up a tiny bit at the front so the colour peeks through.
I decided to do an underskirt type on those flower girl dresses i am going to try and make. Figured it would look prettier, but we shall see on that on lol

Yes longer ones are more difficult - I forgot to mention that I have a short dress. Having your dyed might be the easiest but theres plenty of choice for your bms.

i think i'm going to go with the underskirts with the bm and hitch their dresses up a little. i'll have to wait and see what i have for myself. i may just have a bouquet with each colour with a pair of fun-kay shoes :)

I love the idea of a full length dress with a coloured petticoat peeking out but can't picture it and cant find any images - can anyone suggest what to google?!
I am planning a winter wedding and want to have a 50s inspired dress with some colour in it but tea length will probably leave me a little chilly!
I found a few pics for you - I think the colours go beautifully! I especially like the picture with the aqua dresses and pink sashes... you could introduce the colours as subtly as you want... so keep with your aqua and pink over everything but just have a few accents of orange in your bouquet etc... maybe favour boxes that kind of thing... I think it'll be lovely, very bright and happy :) xxx
Can't wait until the 14th July 2012!

If you wear tights and closed shoes? My 50s dress will have sleeves.

thanks!! Loads of great dresses on that site for inspiration too!
CommentAuthorLittleMissBossy
I know - that dress is actually the base for my dress. The designer is ever so nice - we git engaged two years ago and I found this dress and told the designer my design wishes. She fully and totally customises - the sketch in my albums is done by her but based on my design. Unfortunately we had to cancel our first wedding date and I'll never be able to afford her dresses (though not pricier than other dresses) - I found a great basic dress on ebay for £30 which I'm going to customise according to my design.

CommentAuthorMrsSaraParry!
haha, people didnt scrunch up their faces as such! I've just been to the venue today to talk to the chair cover lady - we're having aqua and fuschia sashes together - have a look in my pics and see what you think. She said its 'bizarre but brilliant' and i think it looks just gorgeous! People know me, they know I love bright colours and so I think they just accept that bright colours would be part of the wedding. Bridesmaid dresses are in my albums if you still wonder what they look like :o) xxx

If you are gonna dye your petticoat make sure it's made of natural materials cos manmade don't dye very well!
