Dissappointed - Friend copying wedding colors.

Best fix ever: Stop talking about your wedding to her. If she asks, tell her you haven't thought of that yet and change the subject.

You don't own any colors, and to be honest, no one is going to remember what the colors were.

Ignore her and just plan the wedding of your dreams. A wedding isn't a competition, is it?

I say don't worry about - although I understand why you would be a little annoyed. Take it as a compliment! Plus, there are thousands of other brides with the same color. Focus on the more important things, like you get to marry the love of your life!

Le sigh. I don't see the big deal. Millions of other brides probably have the same colors. One of my friends who gets married 3 weeks after me just "copied" my bridesmaid gifts, and we have one same bridesmaid. lol.

You wedding is special because of you and your FH, not because of some colors. Let it go, otherwise it will consume you.

Don't worry, they'll look very different. 2 brides/2 visions. But to be safe, don't tell her anything else!

Hope this doesn't come across mean, but I don't see the big deal. Like OTW you don't own rights to color schemes. Your wedding is your wedding, and her wedding is her wedding. Each one will still have their own personal touches.

And I agree, if it means that much to you, don't mention any further details about your wedding.

Let it go. I might have been PO'd when I first got engaged and I heard one of my friends say this. But, in the end even if they're the same colors, you're weddings will be completely different....different venue, food, application of the colors. Not worth losing a friendship over, and trust me you will care less about semantics as the wedding nears...this coming from an overly obsessive wedding decor enthusiast! Take it as a compliment that she thinks you have AMAZING taste!

I had four weddings last weekend. Three had the same colors. No one will notice.

No one will notice. If you feel like she is copying you just stop talking to her about the details. Even if your colors are the same your weddings will look completely different i'm sure.

It isn't a big deal. Just plan your wedding and don't worry about it. There are millions of weddings every year, someone is bound to have the same theme/colors as you

I agree that I don't own rights to color schemes, and to those specific colors, and I can totally see how it might sound trivial. I think what bothers me the most is not the fact that she is actually using them but more so the fact that until this point, we have told each other every detail of our wedding planning and this one 'small' thing she has deliberately hidden from me until she absolutely had to tell me. And she didn't even come out and actually tell me, she was telling me the color of her flowers, BM dresses, etc. and I put the puzzle pieces together and realized she was doing the same color combo as me. I know it's not worth stressing out about or losing a friend, I just find it really surprising that she hasn't considered my feelings, I suppose.

It's really not a big deal as everyone has said just don't talk to her about your colors.. Better yet do you really think colors matter when it comes to a wedding. I would just change my colors.. shock her with the fact of not telling her and going with what you want... Who's wedding if first? Her's I take it??? Again, this is about your day and I'm sure there isn't anyone who's going to say omg they both had the same colors in their wedding. Decorate differently, don't tell her centerpieces, flowers etc.. and add another color to your scheme if you'd like.. Gold or Silver !!! It's an awesome way to change it up.. Keep rest to yourself as she seems to want to compete with you or take over your thoughts of your day!!!

It's the coming Apocalypse. Everyone shore up your bomb shelters!

I get what you are saying....its not the colors its the deception. But just take the high road. If you can't change it, you're only causing yourself heartache by consuming yourself over it. And like Michele said, could you change your colors since your wedding is in Sept? I know how we brides get married to a certain vision, but there are bazillions of ideas out there, and I guarantee you could find something you like even more! Shock her with a new theme and make it your mission to make it even better (although that sort of prolongs the bitter grapes mentality if you make it your mission to trump hers so maybe don't do that!)

Dame thing happen too me. Honedtly just stop talking about your wedding to her. I know it sucks but thats life. At least ypu saw her true colors. Thats why i came to WW to say everything i cant to my "friends" lol!

There's only one thing left to do now... make your wedding more fabulous than hers. Stop sharing any and all ideas that you have with her. Make sure that you make your wedding everything that you want it to be. Outshine her with your fabulousness.

Change your colors to black & red.

LOL ^^ that gave me a good chuckle. Thanks for the advice everyone

Or just tell her you are going with black and red as your colors and pin a ton of it on your pinterest page (then have a secret board for you actual ideas)

I would totally do that

Save yourself some money (an heart ache) if your date is after hers...use her stuff! You've got the same colors... see this a win-win!
