Wedding decor clashing with bridesmaids dresses??

megansinlove · February 2012

We purchased our birdesmaids dresses on the weekend but they didn't have the dress in the color I wanted so I ended up with the purple they had. It's lighter than my decor. The table linen, head table linen, backdrop linen, cake table linen are all this darker purple and the bridesmaids are a different purple. Is that going to look tacky? I was also thinking I could just add the bridesmaids color dresses to the table so then I have two purples? My colors are purple, teal and ivory. The bouquets that the wedding party will be carrying has different colored purple's in them, so I thought maybe it would work? What do you think?
This isn't the dress but it is the color of their dresses.

You WP is not decor, they do not need to match. I think you will be fine.

Same as PP stated. My MOH is wearing Jade and finding JADE anything for decor was not happening but I used a pastel version and some teal...I have an array of colors going on...

I think you will be fine. Don't worry about it.

I think if your flowers have both purples and if you use the purple your BMs are wearing in the table decorations it'll look great! I've always thought it looks very pretty to have a couple to a few shades of one color. Good luck!

agree with PP. if the flowers or centerpieces have both purples, you'll be just fine. a little touch of it is all you need

Posted by sharp0099[/QUOTE] She makes an excellent point. Using a bouquet to link the various shades of purple is a great way to bridge the colors.

Thank you ladies, that makes me feel less stressed, I will keep the purple and bring in some of the bridesmaids purple dresses onto the guests tables. Something small like the gift boxes or the table numbers
