My wedding dress is ivory and has black detailing, so decided my adult bridesmaids would wear black knee lenth dresses, with a ivory bow, and my younger bridesmaids would wear ivory dresses with a black sash, this is causeing bad feeling between my family as they think that black is not a suitable colour to get married in, its causing upset between me and the oh now as he is saying that he wants the bridesmaid in a bright colour and me in a tradtionallly wedding dress, do i give in?

No sounds lovely

ps what colour flowers

I think it will look lovely....and its your wedding have what you want...NO dont give in....

I once saw a wedding where the bridesmaids wore black and the bride wore black and white and it was stupendous - really chic. I think the men had black and white striped waistcoats with black cravats.

You stick with what you want love - it's your day.

hey jen, thats what every one wants to know, and i have no answer! what colour flowers? this is not good.... lol

hey hayley do u remember me from around xmas time? xx

Yours is a very individual unconventional choice, If that is the colour you want then you go with it, If anything, I'm sure people will admire you for being brave enough to be a bit 'different' good luck.

Charley I wanted black for my wedding and it was frowned upon, stupidly I bowed down and had gold but regretted it ever since.

Go with what you want it is your big day x

I am sorry I dont ....was this you board name then ?

thanks every 1 may print and give to oh... maybe he could talk sense in, they want me to have red or pink i dont mind flowers but not the dresses its just not me... ive even had a cry over it to my maid of honor blesds her xx

Oh Charley

it's your day not theirs (the family) and black is Sooooooo IN this year it is a very stunning colour in satin ........

and your not getting married in black technically are you ???

shame tho that your OH is being swayed by opinion it sounds

tell them they can all add the colour with their outfits cos you are having what compliments your dress for your bridesmaids - your scheme sounds lovely xx

hayley
it may have been chazney and i had a xmas name 2 which suprisly enough i cannot remember i do remember talkin to u tho xx

sounds lovely to me hun honest but remember it is you and hubbies day and no one else, can you get the shop to photo print a copy of how the dress would look and show oh, if they cant help then sure someone here would give you a site so you can show..

Wish you all the best hun, happy families.XX

Go for it.

I got married in blue back in 1973.

It is your choice, nobody elses. It sounds very smart. In 1981 Our daughter had brown for her older bridesmaids and pale pink for the little one, it looked very effective as it was an autumn wedding.

do you mean you can't decide on the flowers? How about red?

mmmm blood red roses, would white lillies go with that.... i have a big thing for lillies lol....xx

Charlotte now I do you voted .....charlotte is such a lovely name why change it....

Sounds very dramatic - but go for it! I wanted to get married in red - but had my mind changed!!

Flowers - well depends what time of year it is - you could either go for a sort of monochrome look throughout or inject some dramatic colour there.

cos i only got called that as a child when my mum decided i had been naughty so charley was always the name people who loved me called me, well accept oh he calls me babe but cant have taht can i lol...xx

id love to have got married in black

you go for it hun your day nott he familys

luv

An idea!!!!!

why not make the entire wedding (main players, guests, reception etc etc) a black and white theme? that way you get what you want (and you'll outshine all of them anyway) and it could be fun for the guests to find appropriate things to wear.

I'll shut up now cos I'm rambling! ))))
