i'm planning my wedding for 9/20/08 and although i have enough time, i cant get anything else done until i figure out what colors i want to use! i really want something trendy or unique. i was thinking like a chocolate brown and a rosey pink but now i'm nervous about using brown and having black tuxes. All i know that the last thing that i want is to see another wedding that is red, sage, or purple.... help!!
Answer
Black tuxes and brown dresses look very nice together. I was just in a wedding that had that color scheme. The men had brown vests and ascots to highlight the color choice. Think about the different tones of chocolate(dark, milk-chocolate, etc) when you look at brown and black together as a combination. The colors you picked out (choco and pink) are very trendy. Make sure that the shoes match the color scheme though (you can have pink shoes, or gold, or bronze to play up those tones of brown). Brown and blue are very trendy as well and it also goes with black tuxes. You can also tell the tux rental place about your color palette for the wedding party and they can give you their input for the right color choice of tux.

Wedding colour scheme for winter?

What do you think about this colour scheme for a wedding in October? Cream for wedding dress, latte colour for bridesmaids, and chocolate brown for men's suits. THese would also be the colours for the reception decorations. Also what flowers shouls I have with this colour scheme? I was thinking roses, cream for me, what colour for bridesmaids?
Oops, oh yes, originally thought it was going to be in December which is why I have a winter wedding stuck in my head!
I am aware that brown suits does sound very seventies, however I am not going for a look like this: http://www.zootsuitstore.com/Shopping/assets/thumbnails/stacysuit7013sm.jpg,
But more like this: http://www.savviformalwear.com/images/gallery/gallery/full/choc-infin-big.jpg
which looks great.
Answer
When I was married in the early 70's, my dress was Cream, and the men's suits were Latte, with chocolate Brown trim !!!
My bridesmaids were the same dress in tones of green and rust. My advice to you is: You should have your wedding in any color scheme that is pleasing to you, so when you settle on a final choice, Go for it!!
If you decide to go with Creme and Browns, remember these are Neutral-or background colors, so you will need something else to give life to the visual experience.
Your flowers can be creme, yet make the bridesmaids full of color-meaning one strong color for all of them or mixed colors; the decorations trimming out the reception should echo the colors of your girls flowers, and add alot of green leafy trim with the decorations, so it won't look drab.
You can take a length of fabric, the same color as the guys suits, and the girls dressed with you when you go to the florist and set the different selections on them, then...this is important...walk across the room and look at them from a distance. Up close most anything will look good if the florist does good work, yet by stepping back you can see if the flowers blend in to the latte dress behind them, or if they bring it to life. It's an old interior decorating trick.
Congrads, and much luck,
