no color scheme

If its only black and white, then will you have white flowers too? You know what would be very pretty and classic, and romantic? Red roses. Just a touch of red here and there, will make it pop.

Yes I would have white roses, see the thing is I wanted Black, Deep Red and White as my colors to go with his Dress Blues Uniform for the Marines..but he doesn't like color and wants it all black and white. I feel like if I carry red flowers it would be out of no where..hmm

I am kinda thinking white and black is to borning

Madision when is your wedding? During the day or in the evening? I thibnk that black and white could look great in the evening when you can have tons of candle light or twikle lights. If any color maybe use a deep almost black blue.

Actually, a black and white wedding is considered a theme in and of itself... however many times it is considered a more formal theme than not, so you may want to consider this with your planning. Not that you can't do it how you want, but many times people think of "black tie" when they think of black and white wedding.... I personally love the theme

Well, orginally I waned deep deep blue it looks black because thats the color of his Dress BLues jacket but then he goes well its practically black... and I am a weird one, I really dont like candles hahah And the time of day right now its like late morning early afternoon, but that may change depending if we get on base housing hahaha

Not-a-bridezilla I think the theme could be very romantic and intimate.. the ceremony will be formal the reception probably casual-dressy...not formal-dressy which throws in a wrench

Believe it or not black and white is coming back. Adding color such as red, pink or whatever color your heart desires into the white and black will keep it simple yet sophisticated. Also, you could always make sure to pump up the cake with some sort of unique design along with your invitations and what have you.

Never the less I will be having a black and white sort of scheme going on too. I find it to be very clean yet elegant enough to play around with other colors to make it shine. Almost like a black and white photo with a hint of color!

Good luck with whatever you two choose!

Thanks Diana, I agree black and white is very sophisticated and elegant feeling and I find it is soo easy planning so far becuase EVERYTHING comes in either black or white and I dont need to worry about getting the exact shade of a color

I love the idea Black and white is so classic, timeless and beautiful. It also is very clean and sharp looking. I think it'll be beautiful. That's a great idea.

Thanks Guys are wearing black and white tux, my fiance is wearing his uniform. Maid of honor (nbo bride maids) is wearing black and possibly my mother. Flower girl is wearing a blakc and white dress and I am wearing all bright white

Not a problem.

Oh and I wanted to say that if he prefers everything white and black but you want color I highly doubt he'd fuss if you managed to sneak in red roses in your bouquet. And maybe a splash of red elsewhere or whatever color(s) you'd like to incorporate with it.

True true, he is funny. Everything I tell him about he goes okay okay and he's interested in it like he will bring up the topic. But when I ask his opinion he goes I just want this to be everything you wanted, its all about you, your day I want you to be happy But the one thing he had an opinion on was the colors! Go figure

I am looking at these for the flower girl...this is the only dress I can't find one where I love, right now our flower girl will probably be my 9yr old cousin... If not then it's his 20 month old niece (shes kinda young)

Must be a guy thing because I can talk about the wedding and all the possible ideas and what have you but as far as the color scheme he just had to be the one to call the shots, lol. For the "all about you day" speech I got the same response. Good thing I like the colors. Though, I do feel that the color issue at hand has to do with the fear of being put in something super girlie like pastels, haha. Imagine the fears that run through their minds when certain ideas and topics come up about planning.

Haha Yea, he was like I really don't have to much interest in this, sorry but its too girly..which is fine by me but I still tell him things he goes just tell me where to write the checks (since were paying for it and not making our parents help at all) I think he is more afraid of it being too girly and him and his guy friends feeling like its prom or a sweet 16. Because he has what he is wearing (money saver!)

Are you guys paying for the entire party including the flower girl or are you just looking for some that you like so that they can look for something similar to purchase? Just curious.

And I know all about paying for it. We're still saving which we have plenty of time (obviously) before we know what we have to spend. Personally, I feel that more couples should more or less foot the bill. Helps you connect with your spouse on an even level since after all money issues arise constantly. So why not plan and pay for it all with the few exceptions if others want to pick those bills up.

Sorry for the random ramble, lol.

Paying for it all on our own, but my mom is going to make the dresses including mine.

dont apologize, I mean I am traditional but the one thing I dont agree with is that the Bride parents pay for the wedding, I think the couple shoudl pay for as much as they can without being broke once married and then the families pitch in. But with him being in the Marines and us having a small wedding we are having our fmailies help in other ways besides money likie his mom is a pro baker so she is making our cakes my sister went to college for graphic design so she si making the invite, his best friends dad is a DJ, my mom made sews so is making the dresses.

Definitely a good I idea, it's very timeless and old Hollywood and white roses would add a wonderful touch to the wedding, but if you really want red then tell your FH he is just going to have to bend for that one Your bridesmaids could have white roses which would make yours unique.

Madison it might look cute to have both girls as flower girls. Debating personally on my neice who will be nine when we have our wedding or his niece whos will be just over 4. One reason I leaning to my 9 year old neice is that she can lead my ringbearer(just shy of 4) to one of his grandmothers who are our mothers and in the front row.

Yea. see thats why I am leaving towards my nine year old cousins becuase his niece isnt walking yet (but it would be cute if my cousin pulled her in a wagon) but his nephew who he wants as the ringer bearer is going to be 2 at the time. And we dont know if he will be able to handle it because he is a monster...
