Every time we go to a wedding that is pink the first thing Hubby says is along the lines of "Well clearly the groom has no say", it drives him crazy (even though for all we know maybe the groom does like pink...).

It's funny too because in the planning phase of our wedding he had minimal opinion. I would ask him about everything and he would say "yea sounds good" but I think its because I worked hard to plan a wedding the captures both of us!

The best thing is I planned better then I thought. We had a September wedding in New England that fell on the last day of summer (Sept 21) so we tied apples into the wedding decor but did green apples to give it a more summery feel (Royal blue was our main color and then apple green accents - our fav colors). The other day I was making myself some sweet apple chamomile tea and while I was waiting for the water to boil I was reading the box and I saw "In ancient Greece, apples were given as token of love. A women could accept a suitor's proposal of marriage simply by catching an apple he tossed her!" And the kicker - Hubby is Greek! 

I love those colors! That is so cute how your wedding ended up that way.

I'm so sick of pink (hot pink, blush, powder pink, all of it!) as a wedding color. When weddings look super girly, I can't help but think that the groom had almost no say in the whole thing. I get that certain men like pink, but they seem to be the exception rather than the rule. I don't understand forcing your groom to wear a color that he more than likely dislikes. I'm sure the groomsmen are not terribly thrilled about wearing blush and bashful vest, ties, and boutonnieres either. After seeing hundreds of posts about blush being a wedding color, I had to vent my (probably) unpopular opinion.

THANK YOU. I can't even deal with weddings right now. Every wedding I look at looks like some little girl's fantasy party Fuck you internet.

I am not the only one getting married, it shouldn't look like it.

You know, I'd expected not to have pink but with the dresses my BMs and I fell in love with, we just weren't loving any of the darker, fall colors avsilable and I know that FI absolutely hates purple for whatever reason--and even though he doesn't care what the BM dresses are, I'm not so partial to purple that I need to have it. So the BM dresses will be a rosy pink. FI and groomsmen will wear black tuxes eith no matching vests or ties in pink because he likes that traditional look and I'm not a fan of things being too matchy. No idea about flowers yet but I wouldn't pick a bout color he didn't like...still need to figure out a color scheme that compliments rosy pink but is also fall appropriate...

My cousin and his now wife had pink as their color.  Not only that, but the girls bought their dresses in one shade, and told the guys the wrong color pink.  So there were two different shades of bold pink on the BP.  

Our colors are peach and tan.  Peach is probably considered pretty girly, but the colors were actually FI's pick!  We moved to Georgia together and the peach is representative of us.  He is from CT and I from MD, but his job relocated him to GA and he actually proposed here in GA at the aquarium when we came down for a weekend to look at houses.  He figured peach would be perfect- for us, for Georgia, and for the summer.  It helps that coral is one of my favorite colors and peach is pretty close to coral

I don't think there was any pink in our wedding. BMs wore black and the GM had black tuxes with silver vests and ties. My bouquet was white and the BMs bouquets were blue hydrangeas.

FI loves pink. Especially hot pink on black (the colors he chose for the wedding). I'm not a huge fan of pink. I prefer a nice blue or red. But to each his own.

I'm not a pinky-pink fan. I'll wear coral, but I'm more of a blue girl myself. Doesn't matter what shade, if it's blue, I'm all for wearing it. My rehersal dinner dress is a "sangria" color, kinda purple, kinda pink, but it works and it's different from my assortment of black work and party-esque dresses.

I was originally going to go with soft white and dark green for my March wedding, but FI really really wanted gold. Went with soft white and gold, but there will be touches of green from the leaves on the flowers!

My fi is extremely lucky that even though I'm definately a girly girl, I was never a pink and purple type of person greens my favorite color and I love blues because they bring out my eyes, our colors will be green and silver

Personally, I love pink.  But FI is very much a man's man, and does not.  I wouldn't want our wedding to look like Barbie's beach house anyway...

We're using a dark teal and deep purple, and my bouquet will have pink and purple flowers while the boutonnieres/corsages are only purple.  I don't know why brides want to have fuchsia on everything (including the poor groomsmen...).

That's the metaphor I was going for. A couple little touches of pink, alright. To each their own. Barbie's dream house: vomit worthy. My MOH showed me a picture of her friend's wedding. It was hot pink everything. They guys even wore pink kilts. It made me cringe.

Pink kilts? The Scot in me just died a little.
