Bride_to_be_2011

I can't pick between amber or purples... help me!

I mean amber is timeless,  looks like candlight, and makes everyone look yummy.... but purple is just like WOW and so cool looking.

So what do you think is better?? I dont want to go back and look at my pics and think what was I thinking? So amber or purple?!

edit- this is the link of ALL the colors I have to pick from.... there are 8 million options! So I might need help to pick a purple from these... no sense making it a whole new post though. so people who picked purple, which is all of  you, help me pick a purple from all the purples listed thanks!!

I voted purple because I had blue and liked it   Unless your photog makes a point of capturing the lighting, the camera flash will cancel out the lighting effect.  Just FYI to tell her you want pics of the room/lighting.

Bride_to_be_2011

I am all over that MH.    See I love the purple too, and it will be stunning, and a real wow factor, but I just second guess everything anymore...  but I was going to tell her to make sure she captures the lighting though in some pics.

I voted purple! It's beautiful!

FutureMrsTCT

It won't let me see which one says purple and which one doesn't - but with your centerpieces, I think the Purple will be breathtaking!

paprika28

Purple!

Bride_to_be_2011

Theres two links TCT... you dont see them?

I am starting to learn more towards purple....   I just hope I won't care in 10 years!

FutureMrsTCT

I could see the links, it just won't let me see which dot to click and vote is purple and which one isn't. TK apparently hates my work computer.

Just know I "voted" purple!

amy727

I think purple.  For some reason the vote buttons are going across the whole page and it's all messed up, so I didn't vote.

Bride_to_be_2011

LOL ohhh, yea that is now how I see the vote box.  I guess depending on the computer....

I voted purple.  I think it gives the room a lot more personality.

Amerbutt81

NOrmally I'm all about amber because of the warmth in brings.

HOWEVER, I think your weddings is going to have a little more modern vibe, so I say purple.

CaitC21

Purple!

I think colored uplighting is a fantastic wow factor

I like amber a lot more. I just think it looks nicer.

Posted by ButtonsPepper[/QUOTE] LOL BP you are the odd man out  :) 

I am  going to do purple though, you will still love my pics though right?  ;) 
I just need to figure out WHAT purple to pick....

ButtonsPepper

Haha, to each their own :-). I think purple makes the room a lot darker, and just wouldn't be the look I would be going for. But YOU are the one that has to like it :-)

Bride_to_be_2011

Oh yea I am going to pick one of the lenses that lets more light through so it won't be too dark.  and I am not normal,  not like that is new, so I like to live on the edge and be different

LadyJ10

I have to agree with BP -- mostly b/c I love amber lighting. For me it's more romantic, but I understand that your reception might be a  more modern vibe!

Also, every skin tone looks good in amber lighting!

Bride_to_be_2011

Thanks J, I agree I like amber too, too bad I cnt just switch halfway through to have both! But yea I am going for a modern look, in a country club setting LOL 

CaitC21

B2B I want pink for mine in a CC setting...

I didnt even knew Amber existed until you posted it.

Maybe it was a good thing I didnt know because it sure is pretty

Bride_to_be_2011

amber and pink are kinda similar   What is your venue again?

CaitC21

Manor House at Commonwealth and Im not talking light pink I really like the brighter pink...

Oh that is bright! nice!

If you are going for a modern look I would go for modern.  

As for amber being timeless I don't think uplighting is timeless personally...

Bride_to_be_2011

I just meant candle light is 'timeless' and the other color is more funky

nks14

B2B - can i ask who you are doing your uplighting through?
I've seen a lot of this recently, and kind of love the look of it, but it's pretty close to my wedding dayy...15 days to go (nothing like waiting till the last minute).
And if you dont mind my asking, is it a steep price to pay? thanks

Bride_to_be_2011

my DJ company does it for 300 extra.   Not too much extra IMO and dont worry I just added lighting today... 29 days out   The company is DJs available.

ooodsie

My lighting person talked me out of amber.. She said it makes everything look duller in the room.   So I vote purple.

anneVO

I used to do lighting for a theater company and if you went with PURPLE or a darker color it will create more drama and it will also come out better in your pictures.

Northstar1808

I vote for amber because that's what I used. I was told my a few of my vendors that amber makes everyone look better in pictures. It still is a wow factor even if you go with amber

Bride_to_be_2011

Thanks guys! I am going to do a purple, but a lighter one, I want a lens that lets more light out.  I will talk to the guy at my dj company to see what color would be best for the effect I want.
