Answer 1

If you like Sunshine and Spice then go for it.  It's not your family's wedding, it's yours.  Make it your dream wedding!

Honestly men are never very picky and as long as it doesn't look tacky or too girly they won't care.

When I read your question I immediately imagined the green cymbidium orchids as a gorgeous compromise! His bout would be the green. You could easily mix it up with pink roses. Have your bridesmaids wear pale green with pink roses and do your invitations in pale green. Beautiful and elegant! (check out the link I sent you above)

As for sunshine and spice. You can do ivory and burnt orange mini cala lilies and have his bout be that color. Your invitations would have the burnt orange ribbons. Your bridesmaids would wear that same color and the groomsmen's ties would be in a similar shade. This is more of a fall theme. :)

Good luck!!!!

Answer 3

Use sunshine and spice, or use sunshine and coral. Who cares what everyone else likes, its your day!

Answer 4

Most men do not care about colors.  He is telling you the truth, he doesn't care, pick what you want.  I guarantee you my fiance couldn't tell you our colors for a million bucks and our wedding is in a month.  Just pick what you like.

I don't know what sunshine and spice are but if you like them together, then use them, or choose one and pick another accent color.  Do what you think is best, and what will look best on you, your fiance and your wedding party with regards to dresses and ties, etc.

Answer 5

its just a colour, and he said he didnt care, most guys wouldnt notice, or give a c*^p about what colour you pick !!  its your weding so pick what you like, not what your family like.

and if it turns out wrong youll know for the next weding

Answer 6

If you guys like the colors, then go for it.  If he says he doesn't care, he probably doesn't.  He could be one of those guys that thinks the wedding ceremony is VERY important to the woman.  Most guys will help with the basic planning, but don't really want to get caught up in small details.  What are his favorite colors?  Do you know who your bridesmaids will be?  Consider their coloring too.  You could have the same dress in different shades or colors.  Best of luck!

Answer 7

Red and silver or gold are elegant, I love black and white, pink and brown, multi color pastels is what I did for my beach wedding, black and rust orange, navy blue and silver, dark purple and dark green....they color schemes are endless.

Answer 8

Well, my first suggestion is that you need to learn to ignore what "everyone else" thinks. This day is for you and your groom - you need to be able to make decisions and discuss things exclusively with each other, which will also be an important part of your marriage. Plus, everyone else won't agree on everything, so if you listen to them you're going to get conflicting information. You need to talk with your fiancee again - ask him to be honest with you about whether or not he likes the colors. Most likely, he genuinely doesn't care and just wants something that will make you happy.

Answer 9

I think one of the best things to do is to think about what you're favorite flower is and also to think about the kind of tone and mood you want to set for the wedding. Are you going to do a theme? Where are you having the reception? Is this a formal or casual affair? When you have these ideas in your head your color choice may be a bit easier. I am going to be having a casual wedding with wildflowers as the theme. My favorite flowers are Purple Iris so I decided to go for the dark purple and a bright yellow which are complementary colors. Once you find your main color look at a color wheel to see what colors are complementary and contrasting to get a feel of how different colors will look together.

Answer 10

you can do what i did....take him to look at a a tux. see what he lean more towards. Have him choose a vest color for his grooms men. What color he picks is one of your colors....and then you can choose the other one. He chooses deep red, then you can do a sunflower yellow for the fall. or if he chooses royal blue you can choose a  rose for spring.  this way you get an idea of what he wants his wedding day to look like. it is about both of you. and this way you both get a color you like!! hope this helps!!!

Answer 11

I would pick a color that is pleasant to you.  If you like the color sunshine then go with sunshine.  Just try to think about your bridesmaids in yellow, will they all be ok wearing that bright of a color?  

As far as  your fiance...it isn't that he doesn't care what color you pick it just isn't as important to him as it is you.  I would give him a few choices that you have picked and have him let you know which ones he likes best.  Make sure you have the color swatches there because if you ask him if he likes sunshine and do not show him a color he will not have a clue what you are talking about.

Have a great time planning your wedding, do not go over board and remember what is important to you.  This is your day to share with your new husband.

Answer 12

Do you know where you will be getting married?  Sometimes the location can give you a good idea for colors.  A ceremony at the beach may dictate a different color scheme then a church service or one at a country club, ya know?  =0)

I like the sunshine and spice idea.  If you have your heart set on it, go for it (especially if your man doesn't mind).  You only get married once (hopefully) so you should make it your dream come true.

My hubby wasn't into planning the wedding at all.  I think the only think he helped decide on was the cake, lol.  He wanted me to be happy.  Most guys don't dream of their weddings, like us girls do.  =0)

Good luck and congrats!!

Answer 13

My husband will often say, "Whatever you want is fine." I take him some samples of what I'm thinking about, and watch his reaction (during which he will often say, "That's fine - whatever"). As long as he actually looks like it's okay with him, I'll go ahead with things.

I don't like to just tell him colors, I like to SHOW him. He is very visual, and often doesn't really understand what I mean when I tell him colors. (and who can blame him with all the color variations out there?) If I show him, he has a better idea, and there are no surprises later. Plus, by showing him samples (only a couple, not to overwhelm him!), he often becomes interested and will discuss things. Not so much for the wedding - I'm not too wrapped up in tiny details either - but for other big decisions. Although he has been pretty interested in the wedding, too. Anyway, pictures always work better than words!

My husband and I basically have a deal that we let each other do whatever we want (this has really applied to painting our new home!) as long as the other has Veto power.

As far as anyone else is concerned:  who cares if they like it? It's your and your husband's wedding. Do what you like! If it's Sunshine and Spice, then go for it!

Answer 14

Please don't do Tiffany blue and chocolate brown! It looks nice, but it's SO overdone! All the wedding sites are full of that stuff. I'm so sick of seeing it.

The colors you picked will be fine. You can really make anything work. Use "spice" for the bridesmaids dresses. I think more people would look better in that than "sunshine".

Answer 15

sunshine and spice makes me think fall but really pretty do you mean like Yellows and browns and oranges ... i like and i think that is nice and versital not too Shee Shee for a man to enjoy...   i think most color pallet's that include either a brown or dark something Eggplant, navy, black even brings it down (not in a bad way but makes it not so pastely) and neutralizes it so that the groom doesn't feel like he just walked into a barbie wonderland.

My favs are Barbie pink and Brown

Tiffany blue with Black or Brown

green with Brown or Eggplant

and i really liek your spice idea you don't hear of many people doing that and it will be especially nice in the fall becuase it will be like nature also decorated for your wedding.  Special.

Answer 16

Sunshine and spice sounds beautiful!

Maybe you could add a few accent colors in there - maybe a touch of baby pink or cornflower blue.

But - it should be the colors that you like.

My mom told me that I should pick a darker color then pink for my wedding February because it's in the winter - but I love pink; so that's the color that I had. You should have what you want.

Just start looking around at bridesmaid dresses, flowers, tuxs, etc. Once you start looking at different colors you will begin to get more of a vision in your mind.

Best of luck!

Answer 17

Choose summer colors, dont choose anything you no he wont like, its the brides day and the grooms... Good Luck
