Is it appropriate?

kelly arthurs

I was supposed to get married three years ago, but unfortunetly the wedding was cancelled. I am now engaged again (to a different man) and was wondering if it would be inappropriate to use the same wedding colors that I planned to use before. I bought most of the items for my wedding before the cancellation and had them stored in hopes of selling them, but since I am getting married (for real this time) wanted to make use of what I have. Future hubby actually suggested using the color...But I worry about being morally correct.

Unless it makes you or your FI uncomfortable, then just go ahead and use them.

You're fine.

I would never wear the same wedding gown, but I don't think using the same colors is a big deal.  Especially if you're FI is okay with it.

I don't see a problem with it. The first wedding never happened, so it's not like anyone saw what you bought put into action. Even if you told people what you were planning to decorate with, they've probably forgotten by now.

Sure. No one else would know that those were the colours you had picked for your first wedding.

My thoughts exactly.

If you are your FI are okay with it then i don't see why it would be viewed as inappropriate.

I say go for it. It will save you some money.

You should be fine, especially since your FI suggested it.

I probably wouldn't use the same venue (provided you're in the same location) or other vendors, but that's just me.

Go for it. I don't see how it's any different from using somebody else's stuff for your wedding (ie - buying used stuff from other brides). It was never used before. If it makes you feel funny, change some of the stuff up a bit to make it you & FIs. Like spray painting a metal birdcage white or something. That's probably what I would do. Make subtle changes here and there to make it kind of different. If that makes sense.

[QUOTE]I probably wouldn't, but thats just me personally.  I wouldn't want anything I planned to use to a wedding to one man for another wedding to a different one.  It just feels a little icky to me.  I would want to start from square one with everything I plan and pick out intended for my current marriage.   But again, thats just me.   As a general rule, I think you're fine.  No one will know but you and your FI, so as long as youre both ok with it, run with it.
