Help with colours

Sarah5790, 4 September, 2013 at 18:35 Posted on Planning 0 7

Hey first off I was just wondering is anyone having 2 different colours? Do the colour the bridesmaids and groom party need o be same as your decorations?

The photo below is the colour that the groom and ushers etc are wearing I think the bridesmaid will be wearing the same or should they wear a different colour? Anyway I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a colour that would tie in with this or should I have this colour for everything.

Thanks in advance xxx

    Do you want a different colour for the bms? If you're happy for everything to be the same colour then go with it but if you want another colour then seriously anything will go with the waistcoats. The choice is yours and there's a whole smorgasbord of colours to delve into!

    Well the colour originally was red until we seen the waistcoats then we chose this I'm not bothered about bridesmaids in a different colour I just wasn't sure what would look best.

    Also I like this colour but feel it is a bit plain/neutral so was wondering what colour would look best with to kind of brighten up the reception room if that makes sense and what colours would look nice for the flowers if the bridesmaid wore this.

    I've gone with navy, hot pink, deep purple and teal.

    It probablysounds a bit much to some, but like I said, there are no rules and I love how they look together.

    Love all the pastels together. Always think grey and yellow look nice too Smiley smile

    I get asked this question a lot and I have to agree with the other posts here. There really are NO rules. Just go with the colours that you feel comfortable with. Many of my clients have three or 4 colours, or even more! I don't see any reason why the wedding attire has to match the wedding decorations. So long as the colours compliment each other just go with what you feel is right. Good luck!

    What flowers are you having or do you like? That might help bring in another colour or help decide on BM colours.

    I am having black bridesmaids, soft pink flowers and the men are in grey so no rules really on matching

    Go with what you feel like - pastels would compliment ivory very well.
