My fiance and I have been talking about wedding colors and he is hell bent on our color being blue - as in the color of all the bridesmaids dresses, the flowers, etc. I HATE the color blue and I would rather have the color plum, as it is one of my favorite colors and our wedding is going to be in the fall. Even my bridesmaids hate the color blue and say they don't want to have to wear blue dresses. I know that the couple is supposed to be in agreement on everything that goes into the wedding as it is both of their's day. But in all honesty I feel that the wedding color should be more of the bride's decision than the grooms. I told him he could hae a say in everything else, such as the cake and flowers, music, venue, etc. But the color is the ONE thing that I absolutely want to be a definate in the wedding. I've tried to get him to combine our two color choices, but for one it looks awful, and two he wants the bridal party to be in all blue. (which I don't want, nor do my bridesmaids) Is it unreasonable for a girl to want just ONE thing a definate in her wedding, especially when her parents are paying for the entire wedding? Does anyone have opinions on this or have similar situations happen?
I forgot to add that his parents are not paying for the honeymoon as the usual tradition goes. We are paying for our own honeymoon. I really had my heart set on Paris (it's the city of love) but he wanted to go to Hawaii. He said since he is paying for the majority of the trip he would rather go to Hawaii - I agreed, I wouldn't mind going there-it just wasn't what I really wanted. Shouldn't he just deal with the color since I'm dealing with the honeymoon destination?
Answer
My 100% honest opinion, you need 2 people:
A wedding planner & a premarital counselor.
First you need to make sure you know how to communicate with each other before you can commit to being together forever. This is a silly argument, and you both need to figure out how to work these things out with throwing in each others faces who's paying for what. Seeing a premarital counselor isn't a bad thing, it shows that you are committed to working on your relationship and growing as a couple. The counselor can give you both the tools to see each others point of view, accept what the is saying and together work out a compromise.
And second sit down with a wedding planner to help work out a general direction for your wedding. You don't need to hire someone to run the whole show, unless you want to. You just need to sit down with someone who knows the process and can help iron out the details. Many planners offer this kind of service to point couples in the right direction at very reasonable rates. And while you're there have the planner recommend a color scheme that does not feature blue or purple. At the very least have the planner show you both options that may make combining your favorite colors more attractive. Perhaps once you see some options you may like a blue theme or perhaps you will see something else that you both like.
I truly wish you the best of luck and remember never be afraid to ask for help.

im wearing a white wedding dress with red flowers trailing up the front what colour can my bridesmaid be?
im getting married in rarotonga and want to have tropical colours for my tropical island wedding , my dress is white with red flowers on it what colour would compliment that and still look tropical and island like?? im goin crazy trying to think of a colour. I HATE PINK!! so any colour except that.
Answer
Great theme!
I love the idea of a nice tropical orange color...BUT, a LOT of people don't like to wear orange, as it's a hard color to pull off. Run it by your bridesmaids and see how they feel about the color...
A few color scheme ideas:
-Tropical blue dresses, with red and orange flowers.
-Purple dresses (dark or light) with red and orange flowers.
-A light hue of red for the dress, with orange detailing or an orange sash around the waist, flower color of choice ( I would go with orange and yellow)
-A light color of orange or just white, with some tropical flower detailing, flower color of choice
Basically, I think any bright, fun and carefree color will work for a tropical theme. Or, you can always go with a neutral color and add the tropical details with accesories like flowers and sashes!
Good luck!
