Bridesmaid dresses and a change of colour scheme, HELP!

Hi there , I know you say your Bridesmaids all want to wear Navy blue but is this what you wanted ? Have you already paid for the dresses. Could the dresses not have been made in a different colour.

It sounds like you have already purchased your pale pink and green bunting so possibly it will go together. Navy blue is fairly plain so adding the ditzy pink bits with maybe just a tiny little bit of navy will go together still.

You could have navy blue candles in the centre with pale pink flowers around and vintage teacups with navy blue candles in them on the table for favours ?

Maybe play around a little with the colours and type then in google images see if you can be inspired

I hope that helps. xx

I cant seem to put the pics in but i just looked on google and there are some brilliant ideas of how the colours go , type in navy blue pink wedding vintage , then go to images xxx

These look lovely:

I would have thought even with your navy dresses you could have a pale blue and dusty pink vintage theme. I think a vintage theme lends itself nicely to lots of different shades! I have darker pink bridesmaids dresses than I would have liked for my vintage theme because my bridesmaids didn't suit pale colours and I just plan on mixing in paler shades for everything else!

Thanks girls.

Beanbump, the dresses are paid for. I felt a tiny bit pressured into it but also the pale green just looked stupid on all of them. They're all really pale with dark hair and the green made them look washed out. My bunting is pale pink and pale blue, so not totally different. We're having jam jars with candles so i suppose i could still use them and just tie blue ribbon instead of navy.

I was thinking I could have pale pink peonies? which is what i wanted originally. I guess its just more bold than it was going to be originally.

Ive this bridesmaid dress!

Annie, thanks so much for all those photos! I wanted to use green and navy together but my mum and sisters all said it looked weird. I don't know. Gaaah! still freaking out, think it will take a few weeks or so to sink in tbh.

Will show D when i get home next week and see what he thinks xx

Navy blue can still be vintage if you add softer colours.

I think navy blue can look lovely in photos too a nice deep splash of colour with paler pastel colours it can look great and still retain vintage charm!

Thanks annie and shells. Both put my mind at ease. Annie, definitely should stop asking people but I always worry that its going to look really stupid and no one will tell me so I ask instead.

Annie i think i love you lol
