Kitchen Ideas, NEED HELP!

All my life I had wanted a pink and orange kitchen. When I started thinking about registry stuff my FH and I even talked about pink and orange. His favorite color is orange and mine is pink, so it worked out nicely. Now that I am nearing marriage and a more mature mindset I feel more drawn to red, black, and white. I see dishes that are so clean and chic looking, I want the red measuring cups and mixing bowls, there is just something about it that draws me to the bright red contrasted with the dark black. Well, I started registering for kitchen stuff, but have not yet registered for dishes. When telling my mom about the dishes I was thinking about registering for (red and black) her face dropped. She told me that ever since I was in Junior High she has been collecting pink and orange kitchenware. She wanted it to be a surprise at our wedding. Now I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I like the red and black, but I also like the pink and orange and feel so honored that my mom has been thinking and planning this for so long. I don't know what to do. What would you do if you were in my shoes? My fiance and I like both ideas and are really having a hard time deciding.

  • do you have enough storage for both?  alternatively, you can have p&o casual dishes and r&b more formal dishes.also, it's not like it will be the last set of dishes you ever, ever own.

  • I say pink and orange. If you are really set on red, get some red formals. Like pp said, everybody does their kitchen in red. I originally wanted a red kitchen, but a few years ago, I realized it wasn't unique. My kitchen is orange and blue (Tiffany blue).
