Help ladies. FH and I can't decide on wedding colors. Blue is both of our favorite color but we don't know what shade of blue. My bridesmaids are all different shapes. We know for sure that we want some color and ivory. FH and I will be the only people wearing ivory (and flower girl - who is our daughter together). Whatever color we decide will be the color for the bridesmaids dresses and groomsmen vests. I went the other day and bought some swatches and FH liked an orange color I had. But the larger girls would not like that color. Sorry for rambling but I need some help! thanks :-)

Hi SeptBride, I would like to ask if you have shown the orange swatch to your bridal party. They may like it, I would ask you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Orange is a beautiful color, who knows they may just love it. In any event, I wish you all the best!

I am a plumpy and I kick ass in orange. Choose the color you want. Don't give over control to you BM's it will only bring stress into your life. I have yet to see bridesmaids agree on ANYTHING a bride choses. Go with your heart. You really can't please everyone although you want to.

I totally agree with Rosetta. I initially told my BM's to pick a dress/ color. It was horrible. They didn't want to meet to decide on anything. I got fed up and took back control I should have never given in the first place. I decided on a dress( some grumbled). I decided on the colors( some want to change it). The only thing I'm not in complete control over is the shoe selection. Giving total control to the BM's will make you crazy.
While I know they are your friends this is your wedding and the color should be your choice. I am with Rosey on this one---I too am a plumpy and I think I look fabulous is orange if I may say so myself :-)...Girl have so seen burnt orange!!??? oh ma goosh...totally to die for...check it out, you may like it and I am sure your girls will like it too. :-)
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
Go with whatever color you like! I have been in a total of 7 wedding prior to mine and have worn every shade under the rainbow...I wore it smiling too. Its okay to be a little selfish...this day is about you and the FH. For the self conscious BM I suggest giving them a little something for their shoulders! Not a bad compromise!
Thank you all for your help. Although, I had not planned at all to have my BM's decide on the color. This is totally going to be a decision by me and FH. You know, the more I think about it, orange is a fabulous color! I can do so much with it. I'm going to run it by FH again. I can't seem to do anything without knowing my colors and it's driving me crazy!!!! Thanks ladies again. You are awsome!!!!
Hey girl orange is more than fabulous it is fabulous-ish (new word lol) and you can do soooo much with it. Well done.
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
Orange is an awesome color!!!! Good luck with your planning!

Remember it will be your day! If they agreed to be in your wedding, then it shouldn't matter to them what color it is. You can't please everyone. What about royal blue / cobalt. I think that would be good with ivory.

Hi SeptBride,
Just wanted you to know that my FH and I chose burnt orange and ivory and it is beautiful. I found the bridesmaid dress in burnt orange on foreverbridal.com or simply go to a bridal shop that carries the Forever Yours Spring 2006 line. We are going to do fall color flowers like yellow, orange, red etc. My planner got thedecorations for my reception on superweddings.com. Check it out! I have 10 bridesmaids and they are are various sizes. I have gotten no complaints from any of them. If I did, they would probably not be in my wedding because it's not about them. Good luck on deciding.
