Help with my sweet sixteen colors?

Question

I'm having a big sweet sixteen in September. You know, the whole grand catering hall thing.

Originally, I was planning on all pink and gold for my colors. The pink, like a rose/mauve kind of color. I was dead-set on wearing a dress of that color and having the linens and candles and invitations match. Today, I found and fell in love with a light aqua dress (kind of like an ice blue- I don't currently have a sample of the color online, though... sorry). It fit me like a glove and was absolutely gorgeous, and I had to buy it. So, now my color scheme is all screwed up.

I have my perfect dress, it's just in the wrong color, and I still want my rose/mauve-pink and gold for the decor. Would incorporating the ice aqua with the pink and the gold look odd? Or should I change my colors completely? I realize I'm not making picturing this easy for you, but if you could try to visualize it, I'd totally appreciate it. Thanks so much!

Answer 1

Add the ice aqua accents. It's your party, and what you want is what should happen. Happy birthday, 3 months in advance!

Answer 2

If it's the aqua i'm thinking of it should go pretty well with pink/mauve and gold. Don't worry about it so much...if you want it...you should get it. It is YOUR Sweet 16 party and it's meant to please you.

Hope you have a fantastic birthday party!

Answer 3

Maybe what you could do is getting some flowers that are the same color as your dress and use them as center pieces.. that way its not too miss matching, but it still pleases you. And anyway, those colors look totally awesome together. BTW happy 16th birthday :-)

Answer 4

ok i really love the mauve/gold idea and aqua is like my favorite color so i see what you mean. . .but i think you could do all three if you incorporate some  aqua blue into the original color scheme (just little details like in the gold) itll make you match the decor but still be the center of attention! its also really original

Good Luck!

oh and this really has nothing to do with a sweet sixteen but it was the only thing i could find with the colors mixed together-i actually think it looks really good- and btw the link doesnt work so copy and paste the whole address
