    We're having Orange and Burgundy, the orange was because it's autumn so it seemed fitting and the burgundy came about as its the colour of OH's suit lining which he matched his tie to.

    I'm having teal. I don't even like teal, but I told my BM she could choose what colour she wanted to wear, and I'd work with it LOL!! Am I the anti-bridezilla?!

    We're having purple. My OH pointed out that it was my favourite colour (for some reason, I hadn't quite twigged even though I have two purple coats, the frames of my glasses are purple, our lounge has purple curtains and a purple rug...). He never even questioned it, bless him, just said we should have it!

    Fushcia and orange with grey. I wanted it since I saw a picture in a mag when my mom re-married years ago, and it was a compromise with the OH of me having pink!

    Emerald green, black and ivory. I chose my engagement ring first and knew I didn't want a diamond, so it's chrome tourmaline. It's also a little homage to my Gran who is no longer with us, her favourite colour was green.

    Sage green and dusky pink. I'm a pink girl but couldn't have it as my main colour as it wouldn't be fair to OH to make him wear pink now, would it?

    Originally I had purple however when I went bm dress shopping the sage green just leapt out at me and all my girls looked stunning in it so we have ivory sage green and silver accents as our colour scheme.

    We had purple. We narrowed it down to a shortlist of colours we liked, then thought about a)what colours had nice flowers to go with them and b)what would look good on my sister, who is ginger and very pale-skinned.

    Then we went shopping with the bridesmaids and found the perfect dresses, so our decision was made!

    Snap! Though more of a pistachio green, the lighter end of sage I think. Chosen because it matches our venue and English Country Garden-ish theme.

    (Not because I love pink and this was a good way to justify it to OH, oh no)

    OH in post box red and best man in navy blue (army uniforms)

    so the OH's suit has basically dertermined the colour scheme

    Navy blue and ivory for the bridesmaids and the same for the men

    I had a couple of threads about this because I was umming and ahhing so much, but now I'm having electric blue and saffron.

    And I was inspired by a building, a skih temple painted in those colours.

    Now I've made my mind up my dad is planting Saffron coloured Gerbreas and Cornflowers in time for the big day.

    We're having white and red, i choose the red (a bright poppy red) because it was a choice of royal blue and the red (thats what i'd narrowed the colours down too- i'm not really a pastel colour fan) and i prefered the red colour on my bridesmaids. I'm so glad i went for the red because the dresses look amazing and they suit all of my 4 bridesmaids. Think i'm going to have red and white rose, my bridesmaids are having white roses and the groom and bestman are having white button holes and the rest of the wedding party are having red (well thats what i'm thinking at the moment)

    My brother gets married in Novemeber and they are having cadburys purple - the dresses are beautiful (i'm biased because i'm bridesmaid) and their 3 flower girls are dressed in silver and purple (which they have now made their theme)

    We're having black and pink/purple.

    We chose those colours as they are the only colours I wear. They also tie in with my tattoos, which will be on show, so it all co-ordinates.

    My tattoos were also the inspiration for my Hello kitty necklace and flesh plugs (got hello kitty tattoos)

    We're having purple, a mixture of different shades because I got fed up of trying to match it all! The bridesmaid dresses dicttated the colour as we went for high street dresses.

    White and emerald green - in homage to my other halves Irish roots - and our surname will be Green!! Had intended on Ivory, but I wanted white daisies in my bouquet.
