TALK WEDDINGS with other engaged couples

tealeaves62 -- thanks for the tips! I am planning to use a local stationer in my parents' hometown, but I did look at Invitations by Dawn's website to get ideas. We are definitely all about leaves. I think the invitations and other paper goods will probably have an oak leaf & acorn motif. And I have talked with our florist about using leaves and lots of other natural fall items. I hadn't heard about using hairspray or shellac to keep them stiff, though. Good idea! And also, I think your colors are perfect for a November wedding. They will look really elegant.

In general, I am feeling ok about all this. I want for things to feel coordinated / cohesive, but I'm not going to let myself go crazy stressing out about napkin colors, etc. I agree with kshultz that the most important thing is to have the people you love there. But I do want it to be a beautiful setting -- one that comes together naturally!

im just starting to plan mine out and im picking brown and pink

pink and brown is really pretty, I also like gold and pink.
Any idea of what colors would the groom and groomsmen wear for a pink and gold wedding, or what color the bridesmaids should wear? Thanks for all the help and good luck everyone!!

I've got my groom and groomsmen in traditional tuxes and the bridesmaids in pink. I also like pink and light blue.

the groom cold wear a tan or champain colored suit or tux and have the pink accents. I have my groom in a light colored tux and the lilac accents to go with the gown and the rest of the party is in latte and lilac. So the champian is a gold tone and the pink would be off setting to what you are going to have in mind for the rest of party.

Our colors were black, pink and cream! Gorgeous!

ftchgril1978, that sounds like a very beautiful combination of colors.

my wedding colours are royal blue and white

linzefc, the colors reflect the idea of the royal day and royalty on yourside and that is wonderful. Do you have any color that will accent the blue and white for the reception or in the wedding party?

I am getting married in December. I still cant decide on what should be my colors! I need help, and lots of ideas!!
