Colour scheme not liked.

1 February, 2014 at 11:06 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 12

Ok here goes, a little about me and why my other half doesn't like the colours.

We have a daughter who is 3.5 yrs old and dog who is almost 7 yrs old and I thought we thought the same, but were on the same wave length. So...

I'm half Indian, so having attended a lot of Indian weddings I never really gave it much thought what colour dress I would wear until last night.

My favour bags arrived so excitedly I said to h2b who is white (just incase you were wondering why I'm mentioning colour schemes and colour of us) so I said

me 'fancy a peek at my colour scheme'

oh 'go on then' (I showed him)

oh 'red and yellow'

me 'no burgundy and gold and what's with the face'

oh 'don't tell me your walking down the aisle in red'

me 'might be you'll just have to wait and see'

oh 'oh great'

I walk off in a huff...

Don't get me wrong but I don't fancy white, ivory, or cream. It's just not me and wouldn't represent my culture. But I was just stunned at his comments. I've spoken to him about it this morning and he's just laughed it off, but if can't help thinking he's trying to just say nice things to keep me happy.

Here's what my dress will look like. I will have a veil that will do to my fingertips.

    I got married in a blue and black dress, I was panicking what my H would think of him and I'd told him that it wasn't a traditional dress. On the day, he loved it. I wouldn't worry too much about it, I think sometimes seeing bits and pieces is different to seeing you on the day - you'll look lovely.

    Also this is mine.

    I think your dress is lovely. Maybe your OH was a bit shocked by your colour scheme choice and was a bit thoughtless as you caught him on the hop? Mr Erin is terrible for doing this for example a few weeks l dropped a hint that he might be surprised by what l wear on our wedding day -meaning l am wearing a veil which l don't think he is expecting. He then says to me you better not be wearing anything tacky?! How rude. It's important you wear what you want on your wedding day.

    I think a lot of people assume brides wear a long white dress & it's pretty much a rule. Sso when anyone says or wears anything different it can almost be a bit of a shock but that's it, it's a shock or surprise & then he'll realise how lovely you look on the day and all worries will do away.

    Personally I think it's a brilliant way to represent both cultures.

    haha typical man - you will look gorgeous. I looked horrendous in a white dress, I looked ill. You will look beautiful! And he will love it, even if he doesn't appear to like the dress or colour, seeing you on your wedding day he will love it!

    I think it's s beautifu dress Icebabe and you will look stunning Smiley smile Am I right in thinking that red is the traditional colour for the bride in indian culture anyway? Does your OH know this? I think you've found a very lovely medium between the too and I'm sure when he sees you in it he will love it x
