Adding Colors

grizzly04 · May 2013

So, I have been thinking about my colors, and I decided to add yellow and orange for a pop of color with the brown, burgundy, and ivory. Now, I might run into a problem with my fiance's grandmother who is doing the flowers. She may go off the handle with me wanting to add sunflowers to the bridal party flowers; so I was thinking about just keeping the flower ivory and burgundy and then adding the color at the reception.
I would love to have sunflowers in my bouquet, and I'll see how Saturday goes when I talk to her. I'm just really hoping she says to the hell with it; gives everything back to me and I can do them.

But, is it a bad idea to add the yellow and orange to the reception?

Wait....so now she is back to doing the flowers after you had a huge blow up with her about them?

Yes sadly. She was throwing her little fit and I just threw my hands in the air and said its not worth this. But after thinking about it, its our wedding and if she can't do the flowers the way I want them then I will do them myself.

I have a whole book of what I "need" and I'll tell her if she can't do them then I will do them. That was my problem, I didn't have "proof" of what I wanted.

I am going to tell her I am doing the centerpieces since I have all the vases at my house, and if she throws a fit about it then I'm just taking the stuff this time. She was saying I need higher vases and I can only have these certain colors of flowers and stuff.

I just wish I had a better backbone when it comes to his family.

I think it's a lot of colors and may end up looking like "too much", depending on what you do with the colors. And, if you don't have a backbone with granny, and you know she is probably going to throw a fit, I would just skip adding the colors to avoid bringing another meltdown on yourself.

I don't know the story with grandma as much as pps do, so I defer to them.

But in general, I don't mind adding little pops of other colors. Receptions don't have to be monochromatic. But that doesn't have to come through in the flowers. Leave the flowers as be.

I agree, it can start to look like too much..... Stick with what you have, in my opinion.
