And FI thought I was isane the whole time, he just didn't want to ruin my fun. hundreds of dollars later, I now understand why this isn't the best idea. We were going to have black flowers (wonderful for photos, huh? lol)
Moving on...I found a site that sells the realistic foam flowers. I have decided to do my own. FI and I like the orane flowers, so the bouquets will have orange...maybe some pinks and yellows. We haven't got that far into it yet.
NOW I need a new dress, I also need to pick a color for the wedding party to wear. I was thinking about doing the pink/orange thing, but I know that would end with me having a butt load of orange and pink stuff. Then changing my mind again.
Maybe we should do our wedding at a nudist colony. that way I only have to make up my mind about the flowers and decorations. Nix the clothing all together. lol

I am so confused. We are on a really tight budget so I need to make up my mind and stick to it befre we are a couple thousand in the hole.

Anybody else have the same problems? It would be nice to know I'm not alone

thanks for reading

Ah, it IS overwhelming so dont be so hard on yourself! I have spent HOURS and HOURS pouring over stupid palettes, staying up late for god knows what!

In the end, I realized it made the most sense to pick colors that I personally loved. I am going w/ a tropical theme with vibrant blues, oranges, yellows, etc. b/c that's what made me the happiest! I think all of us brides should do the same

As for BM dresses, my friend who got married a few years ago gave me a great piece of advice - pick a color that looks best on YOU. The BMs will be standing next to you so their dress colors should complement YOUR skin and make you pop all the more in your pics. Hopefully this will help w/ your color selection!
