    *insert scream of frustration*

    I have three colours: apple green, fuchsia and orange. AG is the dominant colour (overlays, some greenery, maybe limes in the centrepieces, BM dress sashes, possibly the flower girl dress), with fuchsia being its complement (BM dresses, flowers) and orange being an accent (some paper products, flowers).

    My fiance, god love him, does NOT like the idea of fuchsia, or even fuchsia and orange, but he is okay with the girls wearing fuchsia because it isn't part of the decor. He does NOT want fuchsia anywhere near the tables. I want to have green and fuchsia sashes alternating at each table and he hates this idea. He says, "It will look like a circus." I think he's insane for saying this. He wants green sashes and green overlays. (White chair covers and napkins, btw, with white tablecloths.) He is unconvinced that this will look dull. He would be okay fuchsia ribbon tied into the sash but this will be difficult (my coordinator is doing this) and it's not a lot of colour. Ho-hum.

    It seems like I may have to barrel on and take the heat from him until September as I can't find any photos of the fuchsia and green sashes alternating. I think it will look beautiful and will tie in the colours nicely, but what if I'm wrong? Do you have any similar photos that would help? HELP! Thanks :)

    @whit.ney:  What about fushia flowers as the centerpieces?

    @asscherlover:  

    Yes, the flowers in the centrepieces will be pinks and oranges, but for me, I just think it'll be boring with all green linens. Sigh. I should never have asked for his opinion :P

    I know this isn't what you were asking for, but I think green linens with bright flowers would be really pretty and not boring at all. 

     

    You may have googled and seen these already...

    The opposite of this, so you could make a pink menu http://www.weddingbycolor.com/hiltonheadbride/milestones/44645
