Yes I was advised to go for silver accesories too. and are having 'rasberry' for the colour of our bridesmaids and cake decor.

I am still thinking about colours, but I do like gold. Maybe gold and wine - still browsing though

I love blue, its a classic, cool and romantic wedding colour. My flowers will be blue hydrangeas, and blush roses. Some ivy for the greenery.
For the center pieces, i will have glass bowls with blue glass beads in the bottom and floating candles , to make the whole room sparkle. Very Happy

I think orange sounds great - i like vibrant colours for wedding themes. Go for it!

Orange sounds lovely.

I am struggling to decide on a colour - it changes from one day to the next!

We are getting married in Barbados so any ideas on colours would be great xx

Hi Laura

If i were getting married in Barbados I would be thinking about Sunshiney Tropical Fruity colours Such as Yellows, Oranges, Strawberry, etc Think of some of the vibrant fruits and flowers they have out there. I wouldn't go for pastels - and i would have Matt finishes on the dresses. I think vibrant colours will look fantastic on the photos

My dress is ivory so do you think bright/bold colours would go with this. I am a little bit worried as ivory is a "classical" colour (if you know what I mean) and I don't want the two to clash, you know, traditional dress with modern colours. Aaahhhh - the confusion continues!!

Outside looking in this is probably an easy question for other people but you are soooo careful with your own wedding coz you want everything to be perfect!

Thanks for getting back to me anyway xx

Maybe your right Laura, but is defo depends on your dress, Id say if your having a big dress and the works then maybe not but if its a long slinky number then i think it would work. I may be wrong , Im having orange in church and my dress is ivory. But thats just me Evil or Very Mad

I don't think that any colours don't work with Ivory with it being a neutral colour itself. I think like Russell said it is the style of the dress that can determine the colours you pick i.e a classical style dress would probably work better with classical colours and a contemporary dress you can go much more bold.

Of course at the end of they day you have to go with colours that you like. I was banned from having Lilac and my H2B hates the colour whereas I quite like it. We settled for a saphire blue which is quite bold and I chose it simply on the fact that when I saw the colour on a dress i thought it was great

Good luck Very Happy
