How to match his color with mine?

Rukisa

*Deleted* For those of you who didn't think we'd do it. We are engaged and we are still looking at the same colors I asked about before.

I think you should wait until you're engaged to plan your wedding and wait until your venue is selected, since those colors could clash with things in it.

Agreed. Five years is a long time. Wait it out.

I think you are putting the cart before the horse.  If you two aren't planning on getting married for another 5 years you need to stop the wedding planning.  Yes, many girls think about their wedding way before it happens and what they might want, but you seem to be stressing about a color scheme that won't even be used for another 5 years. 

Step away from Pinterest.

Ditto PP. You're not engaged yet. Stop wedding planning.

Posted by Maggie0829 I think getting ideas on Pinterest and posting them to a PRIVATE board is fine so you don't look like a crazy lunatic is fine but nothing more. I also notice you've been a member of The Knot for quite some time already. You're jumping the gun and this will scare some guys off.

Ditto everyone. So much will change about what you want by the time you get married. There is no reason to plan before you are even engaged.

WOW. Five years may seem like a long time, but relative to everything else, it really isn't.

I understand that it may seem like I'm jumping the gun, but he and I have talked about it many times and my friend even let it slip that he has the engagement planned out. Maybe for some girls planning their wedding this early might make them look crazy, but I'm doing it for fun for ideas that I know are far in the future. Most of your answers make it sound like we won't be together in 5 years. What has this world come to? What happened to love? Thanks a lot girls for keeping the faith that my relationship will last.

I don't think anyone made it sound like you won't be together in five years (not that I read). There's a lot that can happen in five years that isn't you two breaking up. Finances can change, favorite colors can change, what you want out of a wedding can change, where you live can change...there's really no reason to plan before you get engaged.

I admit it, I was a pre-planner myself (between looking at rings and actually getting one, so a few months) it was fun and all that (and my now FI was fine with it, used to joke I'd have the wedding completely planned before he popped the question) but really, not a whole lot other than the big vague picture is the same as that a year and so later when it comes to actually planning. Don't burn yourself out planning before you can ACTUALLY plan anything.

I agree that five years before you're even engaged is much too early. However, I will comment on colors. I got married on Dec 19. We liked red but didn't want red or green because we didn't want it to be a Christmas wedding. We went with purple and it was gorgeous. I think dark purple with light green would look nice.

<div>Wait a minute... None of these ladies have doubted your relationship, they just doubt your seriousness in being married. It's common to 'talk about being engaged' and then having plans change all of the sudden. WE are simply saying, wait till you are officially engaged before you start dreaming about your big day of dedication. </div>

<div>Woah, you need to relax.  No one said anything about you and your boyfriend not being together in the next five years.  But five years is a pretty decent amount of time.  I am not saying that I never thought about my wedding before H and I were engaged but we were together over 8 years by the time we got engaged and 9 by the time we walked down the aisle.  Needless to say I thought we would have been engaged way before then but life happens.</div><div>
</div><div>Also, the things you like, the styles that are in, your finances, your job situation, your families, etc may change from how they are now.  I wanted a wedding down near the water with soft yellows and greens.  I wanted a close fitting lace gown with an open back and straps.  I wanted a lot of things that when it came time to finally planning our wedding all of those things went out the window because the wedding I planned was MY wedding not OUR wedding.  Once H and I started talking everything changed.  We got married in a football stadium not somewhere over looking the ocean.  My dress, satin with a fuller skirt, not lace and not tight.  Our wedding colors, purple and lime green, not soft yellow.</div><div>
</div><div>What we are all trying to say is that if you want to think about your wedding you aren't in the wrong, but to come on a wedding website trying to narrow down your color choices when you aren't even engaged and don't plan on being married until 5 years down the road sounds a bit crazy.</div>
