I am due to marry next June, I have just started shopping around and ofcourse I am looking at this years fashions etc. Anyone know what the top colours to have are for next year?? It seems so important as it would be nice if everything tied in nicely.

I hear the hot colours for bridesmaids and Groomswear next year will be earth-tone metallics (pewter and copper). Particularly nice if your planning on wearing a cream or ivory dress. These colours in particular would benefit accessories in gold which are easy to find from jewellery to table decorations. Remember that it is important that you choose a colour scheme that YOU like, fashions come and go but we all have our own individual style.

I think your colour scheme depends on your budget. If you pick a colour that is fashionable then you will be able to complete your theme with ease. If you have the money you can pick whatever colour you desire and have everything made to match.

I really wanted Lemon because I just love that colour, but there wasn't enough things available in that colour to make the theme work. Your so right penny, your theme really does depend on your budget

Thanx for that

I saw some black bridesmaids dresses t'other day. They looked really really nice, but I am not sure if it would work.

What d'ya think?

I think that could look seriously sophisticated especially if you dress your men in black suits. You would have to introduce another colour into the theme though because too much black would look a bit funeralish. Maybe get the mens cravats in a funky colour and follow that through with the flowers 'n' stuff

No I don't like the idea of bridesmaids in black. Theres to many pretty colours out there

I have seen alot of black bridesmaid dresses about and in magazines so I think it is going to be an 'in' colour soon.

I think it can look quite nice, The one they have on this site that is black with the white coller is gorgeous

Black might be fashionable for now, but I am not sure it will look so good on your photographs in a few years time when its not fashionable

Buying in Stock for next season on the mouth of suppliers (and myself as a designer!)

1) lettuce green, like the alfred angelo short dresses this year
2) pink will STILL be in
3) wedgewood blue
4) black - its becoming more easier to tempt bridemaids to buy or spend more on black wear as it can be used all the time for special dos!
5) eggplant - aubergine will be in this winter. (cadburys milk chocolate colour!) and tea length dresses.

another little tip - 50's styles will still be available next year Smile

Lilac and burgandy will ALWAYS be in . .

Hi Chris.

The colourscheme is in my head at ALL times. I am glad I can't believe how colours can take over your mind with wondering what goes with what, to the consideration of completely changing your entire colour scheme just to suit a particular item you see that you like.

You have chosen excellent colours, lilacs and pinks will always look good, they never date and are just simply beautiful colours

I too was going down a gold path but I am not entirely sure if that is not begining to go out of fashion from the new products I have seen about recently.

Thank goodness someone else is thinking "Colours" all the time...I am always looking at pink/lilac/purple things...even took a pic of my orchid plant which is pinky mauve in colour...to use for matching colours etc.

I have decided not to use gold ...think I've enough colours with the lilacs etc.
