Question about colors of my BrideMaids dresses?

Question

I'm getting married June 20 2009. My colors for the wedding are pink and brown

The GM are wearing Black tuxes with Truffle Brown vest with a solid brown tie.

Here is my question:

My original pick for my BM dresses was the brown with pink and white bouquets flowers with a brown ribbon.

OR SHOULD THEY WEAR

Pink dresses and the same color of flowers?

ANOTHER QUESTION

should my fiance wear the same colors as the GM or should he wear a black tux with a white vest ect with a flower that matches my bouquet?

thanks so much. Im pulling my hair out because I think I have everything set, then I change my mind.. (THIS IS WHY I AM PLANNING AHEAD OF TIME)

thanks for all your answers =]

Answer 1

I think your bridesmaids should wear your main color. If you're going to have more pink, go with pink dresses. They may also be better for a summer wedding (less hot!). But if your main color is brown, then I think your first idea is lovely. Be sure to incorporate brown into your second idea if you do it, maybe with a sash?

Your fiance should be different. It's his special day too.

Answer 2

Brown is more a color for fall not spring.  

Answer 3

If your nice then go with brown.  They can wear the dresses again then.  Pastel and other "typical" wedding colours scream "bridesmaid" dress if they were to wear them to another wedding/event, but a dark colour like brown or black is a lot more rewearable.

I was just a bridesmaid in my older sisters wedding this weekend, we wore beautiful chocolate brown cocktail dresses (her colours we brown and pink too).  I know for sure I could at least wear my dress to another wedding, if not out to another type of event because a guest at another wedding in the same venue was wear our bridesmaid dress as a guest to that other wedding.  

I ran into her in the lobby and we were joking about it, that she was re-wearing that bridesmaid dress and we happen to be at the same venue the same night in the next reception room.  No one would have known she was wearing a bridesmaid dress unless the saw me with my bouquet of pink flowers.  So I will totally be wearing that dress to the next wedding I'm invited too. lol!  If had been light pink it would have been totally obvious though!

Answer 4

I was the Maid of Honour for my best friend 2 weeks ago so here's what I think:

question 2: the groom should be a little different & should match you,  hence black tux with white waist will be perfect and his flowers should definitely match your bouquet (that's what my best friend's groom was wearing and it was perfect)

question 1: with all pink you should be careful, it may be too much, however i wore pink dress and pink flowers and it wasn't too much because those two pinks went together somehow, it all depends, there are many shades of pink.

But whatever you decide, be happy with it!

Good luck and best of all!

Answer 5

the first choice and yes your fiance should be different. (=

Answer 6

t**d brown because this sounds like a cesspool  

Answer 7

Awh, well my BMs are going to where purple and some will where orange.. and my fiances are wearing black tuxedos with orange vests and purple ties. My fiance and myself will wear purple and orange. So i think you should do something like that, and I don't think you should do the whole flower thing, it never works out. You and your husband should where something different from your BMs and GMs.

Good Luck.

Answer 8

Go with your original idea for the bride's maids. The bouquets will tie in the pink nicely.

When my cousin (male) got married, I was sitting next to my grandpa at the wedding and he commented that the groom always wears a white vest. My cousin's vest was the same as the wedding parties (not white). I was impressed that my grandpa, a male, would notice a detail like this. So, if you're feeling traditional, have the groom wear a white vest. But, it's your wedding and people like to be unique.

Answer 9

Well I think it would look nicer with the Brown w/ pink and white bouquets for the BM

And ur Fiance should not look like the GM so it would be the black tux!

Ur very welcome

And enjoy ur wedding hope everything comes out great!

Answer 10

I think that either color bridesmaid dress would look nice. Or, maybe you could get separates and have the tops pink and their skirts brown. Or, you could have some of the girls wear brown and some of them wear pink. It is truly up to you...

The groom usually wears an outfit that is slightly different from the other groomsmen. If he felt comfortable with it, he could always wear a pink vest and tie - then the rest of the groomsmen can wear brown or vice versa. White, champagne or ivory is also another option for the groom...

The groom usually gets a boutonniere that is bigger and a little different from the groomsmen - at least that is what I have always seen.

Don't worry - everything will all come together perfectly...and I know you won't believe me now, but you probably won't even notice what your bridesmaids or anyone else is wearing that day. You will just be looking at your husband the whole time.   =)

Good luck and congrats!

Answer 11

The Groomsmen's ties should be pink, otherwise they won't look like they match in with the wedding's color theme.

The Bridesmaid's dresses should wear pink dresses with a brown sash or bow on their dress with pink and white flowers and a brown ribbon.

Your fiance should wear the same colors as the Groomsmen and a matching flower to your boquet.

Answer 12

I wouldn't go for brown for the bridesmaids. Pink is a good color for June.

Answer 13

I think your fiancee should wear a white shirt because he is the main guy he should stand out.And i think that a bown dress is noce but i dont think its nice with a pink dress what about a pinnk dress with a brown sort of small thin brown belt like a string thats velvet and you tie it round and make it a bow at the back then you can have flowers that are different shades of pink

ps i think judjing by how you have plannded it i think you and i would get along.You sound like me.Congradulationns and best wishes.

Answer 14

i like the idea of a brown dress, but maybe have some kind of pink accent on the dress? like tie pink ribbons around the waist of something? if you're thinking just solid brown though, then i would probably opt for the other option and say have them wear pink since the men are wearing brown. that way you still have both colors represented.

Answer 15

my brother is getting married in less than a month and i am a bridesmaid.  we are wearing brown and i would suggest the brown dress with pink not only because it will better match your groomspeople but also because there is some fabulous brown wedding stuff, much more than pink! sounds opposite of what i would have assumed.
