good quality but cheap pashminas - and color question

Snif, on September 23, 2010 at 11:17 AM Posted in Planning 0 17

I'm having an evening wedding in Feb and even though I'm in socal it still gets chilly at night, especially by the water and I have my poor girls in strapless short gowns.

I'm looking for decent pashminas but nothing that's going to break the bank.

Also, I've attached the BM dress color - my other colors are black and ivory. What color should I get them? Ivory seems too drab, black seems too harsh (maybe?). And on the flip side I plan on getting one for myself but in their 'clover' color.

Is there maybe another color I could incorporate into the wedding? I'm not opposed to it.

    I know that's not your green, but they have other colors!

    I would do ivory because they'll be able to reuse them. If that's too drab, a buttery yellow would be a really pretty contrast.

    @PhotoBoothGuy - I would need 6

    @FMS - thank you for that link! I am an etsy basket case, I get so lost on there! That's a great price too.

    Wow - Cabell, and those are 100% cashmere?! Nice!

    Now to think about color.... I guess I don't have to be completely matchy-matchy but I don't want it to look odd.

    What do you think about silver?

    Hrm. I think that shade of green goes better with golden, vs. silvery, tones.

    Even in a winter-y wedding? I'm fashion challenged so I'm not doubting you, I'm just wondering if the golden

    color would work for a nighttime winter themed wedding.

    For a winter-y wedding, I would go with ivory or maybe blue, but not silver. Have you considered patterns?



    I've bought pashminas off eBay in the past, btw, and they were very nice for like $7.50 apiece.

    I mean they cost $7.50 apiece; they were very nice, period, not just for the price point. :p

    I love blue... what kind of shade of blue? I sort of like the idea of their pashmina being a brighter or darker shade than

    their dress so that it's an accent.

    I just found great IB's of clover and blue weddings too. Shite! My MOH already bought her black strap for her

    BM dress. Smiley sad

    Hmm for a winter wedding? Ice blue. Smiley winking It would be gorgeous with the green, go with the winter feel of the wedding, and... maybe you could hunt down an anklet for yourself to wear in that colour to be your something blue if you don't already have something.
