Color chaos...

Okay - so first off - my wedding colors are chocolate brown and a mossy/lime green.  With touches of berry/fuschia.  I love, love, love this color scheme and couldn't imagine my day with out it.  I know... a bit crazy.  Well, A few months ago my MOH and I went to Davids bridal and found a great dress for all the girls!  It was so cute and, suprisingly, fit well for everyone's body type.  Dacids Bridal #83312 in Clover.  Well, now we are searching for linens and invitation paper colors and I realize that the dress color and my mossy/lime green vision are waaaaay off - and don't match at all.Is this a big deal?  Will it look really weird?  If all my linens and paper products are one color and the BM dresses are another?  Any ideas?

    Nobody but you will even notice and even if they notice they will not care one iota. Relax and have fun

    No one, but no one, is going to remember exactly the shade of your invitations when they get to the wedding.  No one is going to take the napkins, hold them up against one of your BMs, and exclaim, "Aha!  I knew it!  Your wedding is not valid because these colors are not identical!"Do not give this another second's thought.  This is one of those things that only the bride will notice or care about.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    The invitation should match the overall formality of the wedding. Not the colors. So quit wasting precious time and energy on this. Our colors and invitation didn't match at all. Miracle of miracles, everyone survived :)

    Retread:  love your advice for a cure for weddingitis.  Can I use that cure for other "itises"~workitis, cleaningitis, laundryitis, dishesitis, leaf rakingitis, snow shovelingitis?

    Lol, this post came at a great time for me.  I spent 20 mins with my FI last night in Jo Ann Fabrics, trying to determine if the ribbon to be wrapped around the invite is close enough to the ribbon going around the votives for the reception.  Everyone is right, no one else but you (and maybe a few engaged women, if they are present!) will notice.
