    I know its my wedding and at the end its my decision, but i really want to know what people think of this light green and brown combo?

     

    What do you think of light green roses & orchid bouquet for me and light green and beige for bm? The centerpiece its a tall vase with a branch of green orchid and the top will be light green roses with hydrangeas and yellow ranunculus. The bm is wearing truffle long but diff style dresses. Do you think that looks sophicated or ewww kind of feeling? Do you think it will be too much green?

    I like these colors together, it was actually one of my final choices! I think it works with the palette you already have.

    That sounds awesome to me! I love the look of the color combo in the pictures you shared, so if that's what you are going for, I think it will rock.

    Cherry Blossom - I might make a weird face too if I didn't know what you were talking about already, lol. Maybe show the girls these pictures and they'll get on board with your idea.

    Cherry Blossom -- Haven't decided yet, but I think that green works great with any shade of brown.  I agree with Jean, maybe show them photos like this and they will get a better idea.

    I love that combination! We almost went with those colors, but we got input from the photographer and a few other people that brown won't photograph well in dim lighting (our reception is in the evening and indoors in a room with a lot of wood). I didn't explore the dim lighting photographs issue too much though, and I think the colors are lovely!

    Great combo. I am using the same brown but my green is called dark lime. Here is a great site for custom linens at a great price. She is on ebay to and they are slightly cheaper there. She has lots of great shades of green.

     I think it's beautiful. I was in a wedding and wore brown (Truffle) I've worn the dress three times since including the night i got engaged. One of the other girls in the wedding complained the entire time about the colour. I thought it was selfish of her to complain , it's your wedding do what you like!!!

    I think that the green flowers look awesome with just about everything...but they look really great with brown. Good choice!

    I think these colors are great together. But, can I suggest adding some cream colored roses or something into your bouquet. I think it would help set your apart a bit more. Just my opinion. But, either way these colors are going to be a hit!

    I love it, too! We're doing brown and I'm thinking about incorporating green in it, too.

    Our wedding colors are brown and green with orchids in the bouquets/bouts too! (The top photo is actually on my inspiration board) I think that the green flowers really pop against the brown and it looks sophisticated...but then again, I'm biased : )

    Go with it! The color scheme is so rich!
