Planning ground to a halt... due to my indecisiveness!

Personally, I prefer purple, not keen on navy blue at all but doesn't really help you does it lol :/

Personally I would have navy. Purple is a bit "common" nowedays [as in lots of people have it as opposed to Vicky-Pollard] and it would be nice to be a bit diffirent

***disclaimer; I understan I am being a hooj hypocritepreaching about diffirence when I have a vintage theme***

Does your h2b have any idea what he would like?

If you like the beige/gold tones of the cake ribbon, why not have a look at mocha or mink as a bridesmaid colour ?

Obviously I am biased because my BMs are in navy - and I love it. But you could easily introduce other colours too

Thanks for the replies ladies. I know nobody can choose for me but it does help, honest. OH likes them both

I think I like the idea of both of them and they both have their plus points. I think I slightly prefer purple but then I love the fact that navy is a bit more unusual and a bit easier to match things to rather than a specific shade of purple. Going BM dress shopping next week so that might help.

I like the mink/mocha idea, thanks!

Hi

I think both colours are nice and could work but have seen a couple of lovely navy weddings recently. Always thought it would be quite dark but have been proved wrong!

The navy would work well the ivory and beige tones - see on our website at the Sophistication design for an idea of the navy with the cream.

I would have been on the purple camp BUT there's a few girls on here with Navy as their colour and it looks so classy and it is unusual......

No help am i!?!

I Had a dark purple theme with splashes of bright yellow. It was beautiful....but i am biased!!

The purple things in the wedding were not the same shade and it was all lovely.

By the way...the cake was made by my SIL and went down a storm.....the wonkiness was indeed a quirk!

I have dark blue so I'm also biased ?

Is purple common? I was thinking of that for my wedding in September ? Okaaaay. Other colour I think would be nice is a merlot deep red colour.

I think id wait till id been bridemaid dress shopping and see what colour you like best when your bridemaid tries them on, not much help sorry and I know....delaying the decision!

I had navy wedding so completely biased! Found it was easy to match the colour and accessories. Didn't think it was to dark because we had lots of sparkle with everything! It was christmas wedding and thats my excuse!

If you really can't decide why don't you combine both of the colours together. Try search engines images for purple and navy colour schemes and see what it looks like. x

I went to a wedding that was midnight blue with hints of silver and it looked gorgeous. I like purple too, but you have so many different shades to choose from ?

I'm having cadbury purple and lime green theme so another biased one here....however, I love the navy blue too! For me, if I was having anything other than a winter wedding and was going for navy blue I think I would mix in a brighter colour like the fusia pink to make it a little lighter

Hi I had navy and silver and it looked fab!!! My friend had purple, it looked great as it was in a castle. I had a tudor style hotel. Here is some photos of my navytheme...

I really like the way the sashes are on the chairs! Not seen that design before. Lovely looking wedding - the blue is gorgeous!

Absolutely beautiful, love it all. especially love what you did with the sashes, and the seating plan, very different.

My photographer pal advised purple shades wshow up best on pics. I am having heather .

My thread's been resurrected!

For anyone that's interested I decided to go with purple in the end... don't ask how I arrived at the decision, I just did! I still have loads to organise but less stressed now that I have a plan!

A big thank you to everyone for all your recommendations and pics - I love hitched!
