My head hurts from wedding planning.?

Question

What color runner should I use for an outside wedding, I bought white but my dad said that would clash with my white dress. The chairs are a wood color, and bridesmaid dresses are sage and tuxes are either beige or chocolate. HELP!!!

Answer 1

use the one you bought !!

white goes with everything including the Dress/ flowers

Dad is trying to be helpful - give him something else to do !

Answer 2

I think a neutral beige or tan  would work fine to blend into nature and not call attention to itself.  Also, I like the idea of maroon or burgundy for a toned down "roll out the red carpet" effect.  I don't think white would "clash" with the dress, but I think you're better off with a different color to offset it--also it's good idea to chose a color that won't show dirt from people walking on it.

P.S.  I completely know what you mean about your hurting from wedding planning!

Answer 3

maroon or burgandy, you cant go wrong with these  

Answer 4

I don't see how white clashes with...white.  You could find sage or chocolate ribbon or lace and edge the runner, though, to add a little color, but only if you want to!

Answer 5

I would stick with the white. Runners are normally white and I am sorry if someone decides to compare your dress next to the aisle runner then they have issues.

I wouldn't buy another. Besides if petals are going to be thrown for you to walk on you may not be able to see them depending on your colors for flowers.  

Answer 6

I must be really retarded because I can't see how a white runner will clash with a white dress. I say you stick with white. This way you can use whatever color flower petals you want and they will look pretty on it.

Answer 7

Sage and Chocolate. I would go with chocolate!

I'm a bride and my head hurts too!

You have a great dad if he is willing to give opinions. Listen to him and then do what you want!

Answer 8

I'd go with maroon, that will look really nice with everything else

Answer 9

I would go with a dark red, maroonish color. It would look beautiful with the sage and brown and will make your dress stand out. Good luck!

Answer 10

I would stick with white if you've already bought it. It will look very elegant and shouldn't really clash. It is a wedding after all! In fact, any other color may not look great when the bridesmaids walk down the aisle with sage dresses.

It really is a neutral color that works well with what you have already chosen.

If you're still confused, what I would suggest you do, is go to a linen rentals company to see their swatches of fabrics as they usually have wonderful combinations and can advise you further.

Hope this helps!

Good luck!
