Color Scheme help please!

Hi ladies! I am having trouble picking a color scheme. Originially we were going to marry on a beach this summer and our color scheme was going to be tiffany blue with hints of tropical colors in the flowers. However, our venue was devastated by the hurricane and we are marrying next June at a golf club instead. I decided to change the color scheme to champagne and blush, very simple and classic. FI will be wearing his Military dress, which is navy with some gold pins on it. The girls would be in either champagne or blush dresses and flowers would be simple white and blush colors.

However....I saw on pinterest an awesome "look" for BM's and it is a mint colored dress with a gold belt and bright flowers (orange,green, white and hot pink). So the color scheme would be mint and gold with bright colored flowers. This is more like our beach color scheme and is more summery. It still matches FI's air force uniform.

Which do you ladies like better? Wedding is in june on a golf course. Guys will be wearing white dress shirts with matching color ties to the girls dresses and khaki pants.

Thanks for your help!

    Don't worry about needing to match your FI's dress blues. They are a neutral color and "match" everything.

    If you like the green and can find a dress within every bridesmaid's budget, go for it!

    I would suggest waiting about a year, though, to actually purchase the dresses.
  • I like the green color scheme better. It seems like everyone and their mother is going the blush route - which is fine, but not my style. It sounds like it would very pretty in your setting too. But you should obviously pick what you and your FI want, not really base your wedding on the opinions of internet strangers.

  • both sound pretty-- agree with PPs to get input from bridesmaids and  think about color and what would look best on your girls.  I am so pale that blush and champagne can sometimes wash me out but the mint would look awesome on me, haha.  Not saying you have to pick your colors in favor of your bridesmaids looking "good" but since both are pretty options, it could help be a deciding factor.

  • thanks ladies!

    WP likes the mint color scheme better! FI and I do also, but my family likes the classic look better. If I can find dresses within budget for the girls and that they feel comfortable in, we will prob do the mint color scheme.

    I appreciate all your input, thanks!
  • oh and yes we arent purchasing till around november! Just piecing the ideas together.
