Need opinions on colors

Renee, on May 20, 2019 at 5:25 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

So my FH and I decided on light pink, light blue, and lilac as our wedding colors. We're having a spring wedding and going with pastel colors. I like pink, he likes purple, we both like blue. I've seen some really cute ideas with these 3 colors. But I can't decide how I want to dress the wedding party. I've come up with 2 different ideas but I can't seem to decide which one to go with. We both have 3 people on our side

My first idea is to do each of the bridesmaids in a different color, pink, purple, and blue. Each of the groomsmen would match. Example: The BM and MOH would wear pink, her dress is pink, his bow tie, vest, and lil flower would be pink. And so on through the wedding party. Then I was thinking he could wear purple, and my bouquet and some accessories would be pink. The flower girl would wear pink and the ring bearers would wear either blue or purple. Hopefully that made sense

My second idea was that all my bridesmaids wear pink, all the groomsmen wear purple, and the flower girl and ring bearers could wear blue.

I'm torn. Any opinions? Does one way sound like it would look better than the other way?

    That's a cool concept. I haven't had the chance to see the tri-color scheme in person but it sounds fun.

    I personally wouldn't have 3 completely different colors for bridal party to wear. I think it could be very distracting and take attention away of me.

    So you don't like the first color scheme or are you saying you don't like the whole 3-color option?

    I don't like the whole 3-color option. I don't think it would be as bad if the colors were in the same family just different shades, but three completely different colors seems distracting to me. I would also feel like I'd be stressed about trying to figure out which person gets to wear which color and if that person likes/looks good in the color I picked for them and I frankly wouldn't want that additional stress.

    If you really want to do this though I would probably tell each person the colors you are thinking and let them pick out their own outfit with that color so you know they like what they are wearing. If possible you could go with your three bridesmaids dress shopping and pick out dresses for each of them in the different colors you like and let them decide which dress each one likes the best. Then have the groomsmen match which person they are paired with so for instance bridesmaid 1 picks a light purple then groomsman 1 would also wear purple. As for the flower girls and ring bearer if you are going with this idea I would probably try to keep them more neutral.

    I wouldn't have the bridal party wear three entirely different colors. I think that would be really busy and distracting. I think the second option is your best bet.

    This is what I was thinking about when I was imaging it. I didn't think it looked too busy or distracting
