I think your red/gold colours sounds great! It's good to be different! I was thinking purples too as I love the colour - but as u say its so popular at weddings and I fancy having something different but not sure what! Yellow is in my head at the moment but I can't see my BMs wanting to wear yellow!

Stick with it! x

I had red and gold for my wedding although that was 9 years ago now. I think it goes lovely togther and we had deep red. I think dont get too hung up at matching every thing exactly the same shade, one shade lighter or darker tends to go rather well and it is lovely with gold accents. I have got some ribbon swatches I can take a picture of in the morning with different shades of deep red there are 5 on here that go really well together and compliment each other really well. Also one of different golds as well if that is any use to you. Some of the darker reds look really nice with the dark purples as well if you wanted to bring that it in. There are loads of ideas on pinintrest http://pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=red+and+gold+wedding and also have a look at some Hindu weddings ( i think ti is hindu) as they are mainly red and gold in their theme and whilst the themes may not be the same the wedding colours are.

I shall now stop wittering on

My colours are baby pink and red. These are the things I have in red:

OH is having a red cravat, hanky and buttonhole:

My bouquet will be a mixture of red, pink and white (you could do something like this if you wanted but without the pink, and perhaps some gold leaves or something in there?):

We are having red bows on chair covers:

And my shoes:

Thankyou DM-2-B and venart I will have a look at those sites

Chloe24 I think yellow would be beautiful! I’d love yellow, it’s one of my favourite colours but we’re getting married in February so need darker, more “wintery” colours. For a spring or summer wedding I think yellow would be really lovely! Go for it! If you like it, it’s your day

Vgbear – thankyou it’s reassuring to know that others have done it and it worked! Any photos would be great ? thanks for the tip on Hindu weddings I hadn’t thought of that and it’s a good point. No need to stop wittering!! Any ideas are greatly appreciated

Aurora Borealis your wedding looks like it’s going to be lovely! Your OH’s outfit is very much what I was imagining for mine. I was thinking gold ribbon in the bouquet but hadn’t thought of leaves, I guess florists shouldn’t have any trouble spraying some leaves a nice subtle gold and incorporating in the bouquet – this is a great idea, thanks! P.S. I LOVE your shoes!! ❤️

Thank you all, I’m worrying a little less about my colour choices now……. I did have quite a wobble about it but I THINK, with plenty of help and some cheeky “borrowing” of ideas I might be able to make it work.

If anyone has any other ideas or flashes I’d still love to hear/see them xx

Would second, or third, pinterest. Think it's amazing

Thank you! Glad to hear you are feeling more positive now, I'm sure it will all come together ?
