Hostess Attire

I'm new to vibride. My wedding date is October 7, 2006. I am having a rather large wedding party(10 Maids, 10 Groomsmen, 2 flowergirls, 5 ushers and 5 hostesses) My colors are burnt orange and ivory. The ladies are wearing burnt orange dresses in 10 different styles and the guys in ivory tux with burnt orange tie and vest. I hope you all don't think I have lost my mind!!!!!!! My FH and I have alot of friends. At any rate the ushers are wearing black tux with ivory shirts and burnt orange vest and tie but I don't know what the hostesses should wear. I was thinking ivory or black but something inexpensive. I'm soliciting your feedback.

How about ivory dresses with burnt orange wraist flowers. The dresses can be simple and purchased at a department store.

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husbanc doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need to spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. Proverbs 31:10-12

Re: Hostess Attire

Welcome PureBliss. Seeing the size of your wedding party I'd like to know, how many guest are invited to your wedding and what will your hostesses responsibilities be? Your colors are beautiful and the combination of the colors remind me of the orange sherbert with vanilla. You all are going to look beautiful in October. I personally think your hostesses would look nice and complement the ushers if they wear black. Black looks dignified, strong, important and elegant. They can wear a corsage with the burnt orange and ivory colors. Good luck

God is good all the time and all the time God is good

Re: Hostess Attire

Thanks for the suggestion Marshine. We are inviting 300 people. The hostesses responsibilities will be to help seat the male guests, greet guests, give out programs and help at the reception with cake, taking gifts and preparing plates for the bridal party.

Re: Hostess Attire

Your colors are awesome, I love burnt orange! Secondly it must be a southern thang to have large bridal parties. My cousin got married in September and believe it or not she had a combined bridal party of 42 people, I have never seen anything like it! Ten is a good number -- go ahead gurl and do your thing, you have not lost your mind. I agree with Marshine's suggestion on having the hostesses wear black with corsages with burnt orange and ivory. It will look wonderful and also compliment the ushers. I wish you all the best in your planning.

Re: Hostess Attire

I'm getting married July 22 of this year and I'm having the hardest time trying to choose a color. Before I logged on, I decided to have burnt orange and ivory myself! I think these colors will be great for the summer time. I think the hostesses should wear ivory with orange flowers. Trust me. It will look good!
