Help with my wedding colors

Hi everyone, I go tomorrow to look for my wedding dress and we are also picking out bridesmaid dress colors after we see swatches. I am torn as to which color i want, its between a berry/purple color or a mint green.  I attached a picture of our color scheme and the flowers i want. Im leaning towards the berry color because i think it will look better. My wedding is october 11th 2015 so it will be fall 
Also if you have any suggestion for flowers for centerpieces that would be great as well. We are doing a vintage theme and will be using antique tin cans as flower vase and antique glass bottles 

thanks everyone 

Re: Help with my wedding colors

  • For fall, I prefer the deep plum or the sort of soft-pinkish ivory.  Mint green is very spring-like.  But, there's not magic requirement for seasons and colors.  If you love the mint green, go with it.
  • I love those colors together! I agree, plum is probably more fall-like but there's no right answer - Go with what you like and what looks good on your girls!
  • My vote goes to "berry". It's more flattering on various skin tones and matches the season a little better.

  • Those colors go really well together! I agree with PPs. The berry/plum would be better for bridesmaids dresses. Darker colors tend to flatter more body types than paler colors like mint.

    I went with a minty-aqua color for my late summer/early fall wedding and it was really flattering on all my girls. But I would lean toward the plum for summer as well. Plus then if you go with those gorgeous succulents, they'll "pop" better against the dresses. The flowers don't look as nice when they closely match the dress.

    We did succulents, ivory and coral ranunculus, cabbage roses, yellow billy balls, and dusty miller for my flowers, if you're interested. :) The bouquets were done by the florist and I did the centerpieces to coordinate - echevarria, dusty miller, hypericum berries, billy balls, regular roses and spray roses. I think these would look really nice with the plum, too.

  • Another vote for the plum/berry! Your colors are similar to what I'm doing for my October wedding - burgundy/plums/ivory the dusty green and gold accents.

    My bouquet is going to be ivory hydrangeas, burgundy dahlias, ranunculus, some succulents, dusty miller, and berries... similar for centerpieces, with some mums and snapdragons mixed in.

    I think that might be a burgundy dahlia in the flower pics you posted!
