Romantic/ Dramatic Color Scheme help...

Alycia, on May 14, 2019 at 3:57 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 5
The bouquets are made. My colors are red and purple. I'm struggling with which color to emphasize, or whether to balance and use both equally. So with the maids dresses in purple, where would you go with the rest of the attire and accessories?

For my shoes... the red or the purple?

For my hair... Ivory to match my dress, or do I go with red or purple? Or both?

The men's boutonnieres will be a tight red rosebud, with a sprig of deep purple lavender. My fiance' will be dressed in straight formal black and white. For the groomsmen, red or purple bowties?

Envisioning all of this, which color would you use more to create a deep dramatic romantic feeling?

    Whichever color you like best, in all honesty! Personally, I like purple better, and it should photograph slightly better than red, which does have a tendency to bleed a bit in pictures. But remember, it's your wedding - do what you want!

    Since you did ask, here's my personal opinion. Take it for what it's worth! I'd go with ivory in your hair, red bowties for the groomsmen since the girls will be in purple. As far as shoes, go with the more comfortable pair, since you'll be in them for a long time! All things being equal, I'd probably also go with the red shoes for you since the girls will already be in purple - or a silver or ivory is another option.

    But again, it's your wedding! Do what makes you happy!

    I love your colors by the way. Red is one of our colors. For your shoes, you could really do either purple or red. Purple is my favorite color so I would probably go with purple. For your hair, I would go with either ivory to match your dress or once you decide on a shoe color go with the same color for your hair. As for the groomsmen, I personally like the ties to match the color of the dresses the bridesmaids are wearing, but that is just a personal preference.
