Hi,

Well colour schemes are driving me up the chuffing wall! I have most definitely narrowed it down to two. Definitely having light gold and ivory as the basis and then either raspberry or eggplant as an accent colour. We are getting marriedi n a church and the venue is a Manor House and the wedding is in June.

Could you please please have a look at both and let me know which you prefer. Please help a hitcher in distress! I want to start buying things!!! xx

    I have eggplant, gold and ivory as my colours, in fact we have many of the same 'inspiration' pics.

    Obviously my biased vote goes for this!

    I think the eggplant and gold look very elegant and expensive together. Plus as eggplant is a shade of purple - blue is the colour of loyalty and red the colour of love....this is why we chose purple for our colour scheme

    I like them both, love the bright summeriness of the raspberry but I think my vote goes for eggplant, just out of a personal preference for more muted colour palate

    I thought the eggplant was going to be a rich deep purple, like the colour of an actual eggplant, but I'm not keen on the paler colour in your picture.........and the raspberry just looks red to me. That's not very helpful is it, sorry! Between the 2, I'd go for the raspberry.

    Have you considered having both - if you love them both you could have mixed flowers etc and they'd look perfect together

    I love them both. I think the eggplant looks more classy and the raspberry more fun, so depends which you want your wedding to be really.

    Very close call but raspberry for me- more summery and also sounds nicer (I know the sound has nothing to do with the colour just thought I'd add ?)

    Has to be eggplant for me, looks classy but I do like the raspberry too, funnily enough this was my second choice!

    We're having deep purple, yellow & ivory! (yellow is more pale gold & purple is very nearly eggplant)....lol! maybe thats the name of the shades we have actually but i just say purple & yellow to everyone!

    If you are gona incorporate any of these colours into ur bridesmaid dresses i'd take into consideration what colour suits them and what they would feel comfy in.

    I like the brightness of the raspberry!

    Good Luck
