Hi ladies, me and my h2b are struggling to pick our colours?! Our venue is a Venetian (sp!) garden marquee so its pretty neutral so no colours to clash with. So just wondered how you all came up with your colour schemes?
CommentAuthorLaticschick Holland
i came up with mine, purple/silver because i saw some decorations i like lol
CommentAuthorZoe Kay
I picked orange as it's my fave !! but then changed to green as my flower girl will be wearing a tinkerbell dress :D Result ! but i might still go with orange as she's a little girl and the other bridesmaids are all grown up
CommentAuthorsteffi
Ours is his footie team colours.... :/
Think maybe a vintage style theme would go... dusky pinks sage greens beiges etc x
CommentAuthorMrshewart2b
i cant decide either, originally i wanted hot pink and orange but that was when i was having a tropical wedding abroad and now i want to change but not sure what. still love hot pink and think white pink and black looks wicked but not sure h2b will go for it
I picked my fav colors which i know go well together
orange red and yellow

CommentAuthorrachybaby
thank you! i like the dusky pink/sage green colours and h2b looks lovely in pink?! I just feel so overwhelmed with it all mega excited but overwhelmed :)
CommentAuthorkellyc13
mine was going to be yellow as i had seen some lovely flowers to have but we changed it to baby pink as that is my fav colour and there was so much more options to choose from x
so little time, so much to do!
CommentAuthorPennylane
I picked mine based on the bridesmaid dresses I found that I liked so we're purple(aubergine) and silver as I think silver will go nice with purple. Plus H2B wants loads of traditional scottish touches so that'll go with all the thistles and purple heather x

CommentAuthorWinterrose
Dusky pink/sage will be gorgeous you could bring through a really vintage feel to the whole day! x
CommentAuthorrachybaby

CommentAuthorSharyorks
ours are based on tony's love of Leeds United - yellow, blue and white. we have done a compromise of lemon, baby blue and white. x
CommentAuthorHellsfire02

CommentAuthorMrs (Dove) Pidgeon
I went with what suited the bridesmaids best (aubergine) then added ivory (white?) and yellow to brighten it up.

Mine is too Karlie. BM's dress is an Olivia Mae xx
CommentAuthorsteffi
Mrs H2be, that was the colour scheme we were gonna have, the grooms men were gonna be wearing grey suits.. there may be still some pics on my page if ya wanna have a look, think i had cake n flowers on there in that kinda colours x
CommentAuthorKarlie1976
(Sorry for hijacking the thread MrsH2be) There are 5 bm's and didnt want to spend anymore than £90 per dress fi could help it... Would you mind putting info on my wall please girlies with Aubergine??? I am now on a mission..
Its the designer Dessy's fault, they call it Aubergine, or even one called smashing. But they are out of our price range... Cant expect them to pay that much for them. Found a lovely dress on the site we often talk about with the ladies name... However they have sent me through email colour samples but say they dont/cant send me swatch's of the colours I want. The colour samples they have sent cannot be seen properly and look dreadful and fuzzy. I dont want to buy 5 dresses and find out that they arent the right colour as they wont/cant send a material swatch :0( booo!

CommentAuthorPennylane
I had the exact same problem with dress hunting - you're taking a risk cos you can't see the colour except on a comp screen. Don't think mine will be much use to you tho as they are a bit more than that but there were nice ones in Debehnams for £120, I know it's slightly over but thought I'd mention x

CommentAuthorMrshewart2b
i tried the long taffeta one on in debs i have to say it was a lovely fit, we ended up with the shorter taffeta ones with the straps and waterfall down front (crap at explaining things) but we got them for £45 in the sale!!!!!! not for my wedding i must add im chief bridesmaid in a couple of months
CommentAuthorWinterrose
Karlie mine was in the sale too reduced from £260.00 to £50.00... if I was you I'd wait because you've got a whole Xmas season yet to come out and you can keep an eye on the high street stores from September time and then get them in the sales at the beginning of December!... x
CommentAuthorKarlie1976
On D there are ones like knee length taffeta, v neck sort of style with rose corsage on the side with netting sort of thing inderneath??? Not on sale online and I will have to find a local D....... Dont know of any... Damn.... Might be buying all of the BM dresses from you babe! lol! Kxxxx

Trying to think where there is one near you... There is Uxbridge & Harrow but they are a bit of a trek... there's prob one in Milton Keynes... xx
CommentAuthorMrshewart2b
karlie they are the ones we are having! but ours are silver/grey, my friend who is a photographer said she has seen them at almost every wedding since last winter :-S
CommentAuthorJenna
Im having aqua....... As for the dresses in D i was looking at them for my cousins wedding, they are gorg the debut ones.... also the short ones with the rose have a shimmer to them you cant really see in the pic on the comp.
why dont you go to bridal shops and ask them do they have the colour swatches, they should have them or a dress in that colour although maybe not the right style, if you have 5 dresses i would try to barter just be up front your budget is £90 each coz you need so many, i bet most will get very close if not all way there.
CommentAuthordebs x
Mine are Burgundy and I got five for less than £70 each - made to my own design and from when I ordered them it only took 10 days and all made to their exact measurements x
