As my ongoing BM dress issue continues i'm looking at a few opitions.
My colour scheme is dusky pink and cream with an antique/vintage theme. The men are wearing grey tails with the MOST perfect dusky pink cravats which i just adore, H2B will have a grey waistcoat and best man/ushers are having cream waistcoats.
Origionally i was having pink BM dresses but its proving impossible to find them in the right pink and too expensive to have them made although i can find material in the right colour. Soooooooooo i was thinking of changing the BM dress colour to antique gold.......it fits in the theme and goes with the pink. My venue is a country house hotel and all the rooms we're using have loads of big old pictures and mirrors in antique gold frames and dining room is the hotel restaurant which has lots of similar accents. The other advantage would be that the venues chairs are gold and i'm not sure i can afford to cover them all......it might mean i can maybe just cover the chairs in ceremony room and leave the evening rooms ones gold....???
Do you think it would work?? Would be a zillion times easier and cheaper to find dresses in the gold and i could add other gold touches with ribbon/on tables etc etc. I'm having pink and cream roses and girls were having cream, would that still work do you think??? It'd also make the whole theme a bit less girly which i think H2B would like!!!
I have moments of thinking oooooo that'd be great and other moments of doubt!!!! WHat do you expert ladies think?!
