**COLOR SCHEME HELP!!!

Hi girls. So I am in need of help!!! I can not for the life of me decide on a color scheme, which is holding up my planning. I have 6 months and I need to get the ball rolling. Well  I know I want to accent in burnt orange. Should I go with a burgandy dress, gray tux and orange accents, or a magenta (dark pink/purple color) dress, gray tux and orange accents.  I really need advice.  Any input would be helpful.  Thanks so much!

    I really like this color palette: http://www.theperfectpalette.com/2009/02/inspiration-board-26-orange-red-plum.html

    It seems to kind of go with your thoughts, although it's more plum than magenta.  You could also remove the red, but I like it in there too.  And I would add the gray in there, especially if it's a medium shade gray, and not too dark. That would look stunning!

    Both of your ideas I think would look really nice though.

  • Well I love the orange and also wanted my wedding to have that color in it.  So what i am doing since my wedding is in the fall. the bridesmaids are wearing a champagne color dress with a dark brown satch along with orange flower bouquets.  The center pieces are going to have orange and yellow flowers and the groomsmen will wear dark brown vests and my fiance champaign.  This way i get to have the orange color with a mix of fall colors and have it look elagent with the touch of champagne.
  • Personally, I like the magenta option better than burgandy.  I think the orange accents will look better with magenta, pop more maybe.  AND I think the magenta will look much better with gray tuxes than burgandy will. 
    Also. I'm doing gray tuxes AND charcoal gray bridesmaids dresses and using all orange flowers.  I like where you are going with the gray and orange (obviously)!
    Let us know what you decide! Once you decide, the rest should fall into line!
