Color Scheme Help

cc1234, on August 22, 2018 at 1:32 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 25
Hello! Smiley heart My bridesmaids and I are going shopping for their dresses next month and I’m having a hard time choosing between these two color schemes for my wedding coming up in April. I’ve made two collages to get a better vision including the ceremony room, my blush wedding gown, some bouquet inspo, and the dress colors I like. I’m looking for some advice and if one of them stands out more than the other? Thank you!

    Both are gorgeous. I love darker colors but they are pretty over done. Id go with the first

    Both are very pretty. What about alternating your BMs and including both colors?

    I like the 1st one. Very elegant and will lighten up the venue.

    They are both equally beautiful. #1 is softer and #2 is more dramatic. Either will work well so just choose the color you are more drawn to.

    I 100% love the first one. Especially for April. And as PP said, more unique than the 2nd palette

    I think there are ways you could include both of these colors beautifully! For example, the groomsmen could wear ties in the darker colors. Or you flowers could have a few darker accents to add richness. The colors are really cohesive and could live together in many ways.

    If you're adamant at selecting one or the other, I'd go lighter, but that really is a personal preference.

    The burgundy stands out to me! With the soft color if you're dress I think the darker will be beautiful!!

    Both are lovely, and your dress is GORGEOUS! I wanted to look at an extremely similar dress, but it was out-of-stock.

    I think the lilac is better-suited for Spring and the month of April. Burgundy is a fall and winter color.

    I think the dark one matches the venue and wedding dress better!

    Burgundy is traditionally a fall/winter color. I'd go pink for April

    My wedding colors are similar to the burgundy/navy pictures you posted. But I really like the lavender color scheme! Especially for a wedding in April!! I vote the soft purple hues. Smiley love

    I am partial to the dark colors because those are my colors. But I could see using the lighter colors for Spring. What do you think your bridesmaids would look the best in?

    I really like the first lighter color scheme since your wedding is in Spring. I also think that color bridesmaid dress compliments your blush wedding gown really well!

    They are both gorgeous. I, personally, love the contrast of the darker burgundy and flowers versus the lighter blush of your gown (which is stunning!).

    For an April wedding, the first colors are a lot more fitting. Darker colors are usually for fall and winter weddings. Both are gorgeous, though!
