We got engaged a few weeks ago and I asked FI what color(s) he was thinking of (he's very involved) and he blurted out green, which was a huge shock to me. He's never shown a liking to green before, it's no where in our house. Anyways, green is fine. Then I suggested purple, like a dark purple. He loves the two together (purple is our bedding color at the moment, TMI).
BUT
I was watching that show where David Tutera takes over a wedding and re-plans everything. The bride had picked purple and green and he
freaked. David started going off about how no one looks good in green and it's gross and blah blah blah. It was like someone slapped me in the face.
We're having a summer wedding (Aug 2011) at a vineyard with the ceremony outdoors, we haven't visited venues yet to decide if we're having the reception indoors or out. But we both really like the idea of a wine cave or barrel room. Here's how the colors will break down: Bridesmaids in green, groomsman & FI in dark grey suits with green ties, bouquets will be like the one below, and the reception will be mostly white with dark purple flowers. Am I really that far off?
