September 2012 Weddings

Cant Decide!

Hi Ladies!!!

My FI and I have everything planned for the wedding with the color purple.  Nothing is ordered yet, invitations are "proofed" but not ordered, BM dresses are picked out and paid for but going to be ordered till March. I have picked out my cake but not ordered.

Now here is the problem we were going to do Black Tuxedo's and about a month ago my FI and I said what about grey, we thought grey with dark purple would look nice.

Last week my FI said to me, now that we are going to do grey Tux what about changing the color to Navy.  I love Navy but I hate blue and black so that is why Navy was out of the question.  Now that we are doing Grey Tux Im torn.

Do I change everything to Navy or leave everything as is with the purple...

One thing I could not find was a bouqet that I like to match the purple dresses, and the first thing that came to my mind with navy is I could do orange, yellows, etc and it would match perfectly (or do you think that is too summery for a Sept wedding)

Please help!

  •  (or do you think that is too summery for a Sept wedding)  Nope, do whatever you want, whenever you want.  You can do those colors with purple.  Check out "jewel tones" they are gorgeous with purple.

    Just because you saw it on Four Weddings, doesn't mean it's a good idea.
  • Why not do purple, grey and navy?  Those colors go well together.

    I vote that one, but keep the main color purple. Throw in touches of navy. I think purple  with yellow and oranges would look fine.

    I should point out though purple is my favorite color and think it looks great with everything except pink. :)
  • If I had everything planned with a certain colour and then FI asked to switch, I'd tell him to take a hike LOL
    Seriously tho, I wouldn't be too impressed, but if it were a colour I could work with, why not? The great part about sept is that you can really do so many colour schemes. I think different blues with the grey would be really nice; very calming. If you want more POW add yellow... that would be gorgeous!

  • I agree with PPs...def keep the purple!  You can add splashes of any other color you want...you don't have to stick with only 2 or 3.  Keeping your main color as purple will tie it all together. But I'm also biased as purple is my favorite color and one of our wedding colors too!
  • I agree with PPs, you've figured out enough with the purple by now, and it obviously is a colour you like or you wouldn't have started there... keep the purple and do purple, navy and grey :)
  • I am partial to purple, especially dark purple, so I would say keep it. I am doing greens and oranges in my flowers- I saw pics from my florist and it looks beautiful. And, why start from scratch with your designs?
    I also think the purple/navy/grey looks nice.
  • I might be biased but purple (dark purple) is MY FAVORITE COLOR EVER. So, ahem, I'm going to tell you to keep the purple.

  • This was our exact dilemma when we started discussing colors. I really wanted the royal blue/navy and dark grey but I couldnt convince FI that dark grey tuxes would work so we switched our main color to a deep purple which would work well with both the dark grey tuxes and black tuxes...ultimately FI chose black over grey so I was happy with our decision to switch to purple. Although navy blue and grey is an awesome color combo I would say you have too many things planned to change them now! Keep it the way it is and see if you could incorporate a little navy into what you already have.

  • From someone who doesn't even really like purple (sorry purple-lovers), I still say keep the purple only or add navy in with the purple.  If nothing is ordered you can still add navy decor to your cake to go with the purple and maybe a navy sash to the girls dresses.  It is a lot to start from scratch because you obviously already have something visulized.  I say add the navy and nix the purple on something that last longer than one day...like you can decorate your bedroom navy and gray!
