Not Engaged Yet

Gah Sorry!

I am doing major wedding planning tonight so I keep coming back to ask your opinions!  I think I have finalized my color palette.  Each bridesmaid is going to wear a color (I have 4) Is the second to the last color too close to some of the others?

    The last one is really close to the second to last one, maybe you could make it just one shade darker?

    I love blue btw!

    Personally, yes, I think it is too close.

    Also, it's great to work with stuff like that, but your best bet is to go to a salon and look at actual color swatches.  You may not be able to get those colors from the same designer/in the same dress.  Just thinking logistically :)

    Ah sorry guys!  It must be all of my PWness breaking TK. 
    What about this one?  Or maybe a Slate blue?  I would have to look harder to find that one.

    Um nope.  I am not going to.  My BMs get to choose their own dresses so I am not going to be going on the hunt with them unless they ask me too.  So Peeks that is why I haven't gone in to any stores yet.  Yes it would work better if I required a certain dress but since I don't I just want them to match as close as they can to those colors.  And if they don't I don't really care! :)

    Oh ok. I didn't know that. Well I really like your idea and I think it will look cute for them to all be in different shades of blue :)

    I prefer the second set of blues. Are you going to assign each BM a shade?

    I like the different shades of blue... But, it might be hard for them to find a dress in that exact color palette?

    I think this is a very cute idea! Like ember said, it would probably be easier if they just picked out a dress in blue that the liked. Chances are they will all be different shades and then your job is done for you. Maybe just pick out shades you don't want like baby blue, royal blue, etc.

    I think the second one is perfect because it's more balanced with the dark/light shades.

    I also want to say I'm wicked impressed with your organization/planning skillz. You're knocking this out of the park, raven!
