    Hi Ladies!

    I am planning a destination wedding and would love some feedback to help me decide on one. I keep going back and forth & can't make a final choice.

    I love the aqua one. It pops with the water behind it. :)

    They both look great. Do you really have no preference? How about researching your BM dresses and the flowers that are available during the season and at that destination to help you decide which would go better?

    @ MrsCox2B and pren79 ....I do love the "Aqua" as far as decor a bit more because of the way it pops against the water, but the bridesmaids dresses as of now are brown I know the brown would go lovely with the "Tropical" decor, but I am not convinced about how it would look with the aqua.

    And if I use the aqua I would definitely love to add green to the decor in the reception- like palm leaves. But Iam afraid of using too many colors.

    I voted for the aqua too.  I just wasn't feeling the orange and white for some reason.

    This is what I was thinking of for the centerpieces.

    well, you could have two colors. . .. (white doesnt count, it is a given).  and brown is a neutral, so it almost doesnt count either!

    for my colors, i kinda simplified and said 'peacock pallette'.. . the greens and the teals and the blues. .. . if you keep the colors in the same family it isnt too overwhelming.

     

    these pictures are just something i had on hand from my own planning folder, but you can see the colors work together!

    ps: if your centerpieces are outside, make sure they are extra protected from the wind

    I think theres is no reason to decide lol. My colors are both aqua and orange and its amazing how great it looks together the main color is aqua with bright orange accents. I say go for it whatever you decide make sure YOU love it . GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING.

    I voted for the aqua, but love a combo of orange and fuscia or orange and lime!

    We're doing pinky-coral and grassy green as our colors and having alot of land and sea elements brought into the decor.

    For the guys I'm having seashell bouts made!  Those can look great and have the color aqua brought into it w/ribbon or backing.  I'm also having a seashell bouquet and remember seeing the etsy designer who made mine also had created a blue/aqua seashell bouquet too!  Had some feathers in it also.
