when my son was married my lovely daughter in law chose a bouquet that had lots of orange gerberas in it - it looked gorgeous and those flowers come in so many vibrant colours - why not go for some of those? Less traditional than roses or carnations and more in keeping with the black - you stick to your guns - your special day and bridal outfits nothing whatever to do with the groom or anyone else for that matter!!!!

My cousin's daughter married recently and her adult bridesmaids wore black with fuschia detailing.
Quite striking.

Your wedding dress should be your choice.

You wont mind if I can it you do you....but your not in trouble....lol

Yeah shurrup Jac....pmsl..

hello frosty, i have the website and the style number he refuses point blank to look at it cos if it is my dress, then he doesnt want the suprise spoilt... thanks for the idea tho shame the oh is a ponker lol...xx

I agree with the others. I know it sounds unusual but it also sounds lovely. As for flowers blood red or something similar that would contrast sounds good too. Try googling flowers and see what's available and what would look good.

jaclove your idea, do u want to be my wedding planner can only really give tea or wine in return tho.....xx

with regards the flowers Charlotte what sort of hair colouring is your Brides maid with the black dress if she has dark hair then I agree with Julie if she is fair than white flowers

my adult bridesmaids are both brunettes, 1 child bridesmaid brunnette and my other lil one is blonde and i mean blonde...lool

I go with Julie then....the blonde cute one could drag a manky smelling bin liner up the isle and it would still look cute...lol

Well I have recently seen photo's of a similar colour scheme for a wedding, and it was absolutely stunning.

You could add colour either with the flowers (I'd keep to ivory myself, lol with little black glittery beads threaded through.... or satin or something to accentuate the theme)

Then have colour added to the table.... ie in the bags the favours are in. or on rose petals/ similar scattered around the place settings and in the table arrangements.

But go with what you truly want..... please don't be swayed by other people.... you will regret it.

PS... Grooms wear what they are told to wear ;¬))... that is traditional, lol..... and don't you dare show him YOUR dress, pick something that shows the effect, but not your dress.... that is meant to be a surprise, and he will love you in it! Promise.

Did Mr M wear his uniform Daff ?

lmao hayley, that did make me lol my cousin is looking at me all strange.....

im really stcuk with the flowers red ivory orange..... i just dunno and my maid of honor helped, pick the one you like.... if i liked a certain one more than another one then i wouldn be asking her opion lol.......

i have to be honest black full colour for one dress sounds a bit oppressive,
its nice as a dress but for a wedding, will black suit the colour of the bridesmaids as in is she blonde brunette, i know i cant wear black myself,
it may also take away the shine from you, because people maybe attracted to that unusual colour and not looking at you , dont have that love

but your dress sounds lovely with the black detail,
its your choice charley
maybe a compremise will be met, i hope so, dont let it ruin your day
youll look lovely

Yep Hayley..... he got it just in time, having only just passed out of basic training!


*sigh* he looked so handsome! I'll e-mail you a copy, lolol!!

Love

you know Charley,
i been reading this thread and your wedding dress just sounds sensational as do the bridesmaids ....
i say go for it i wish there had been more choice
when i got married , you stick to your guns .....

what colour would go with my dress, then i did comperise... if anyone wants to look at my dress its www.marklesley.com then collections, then mark lesley then style numer 2021 go.... this is not the reason i asked to show my dress off, its just something thats really palying on my mind and ruining the planning of my and my oh's day.... xx

ooohhh thanks Daff I love looking at really old pics...hurry up send it ...

First, I'd like to point out that Angie M came up with the blood red roses idea, I was agreeing with her on the colour. Btw Hayley had a point about the bridesmaids colouring too.

Charley you say you have the website and style number. Any chance you could tell us and we can have a nosey lol

Edit: you already have lol

Its your duty to show your dress off...you only get to wear it one day...lol
