    Hey girls! SO last minute my fiance decided he'd rather be in orange than green. Good thing is that my colors include: orange, yellow, fuschia, and some green. With a red head and three blondes I figured orange wouldn't be their best color. Here's the plan: Guys in orange with pink boutonnieres  and girls in pink with orange flowers in their hair with their shoes that bring it together. Originally my two MOHs would be wearing different dresses from the other two girls to make them stand out, but now I just want to make sure this all isn't too much. 

    I am going for a lot of color and I love contrast, but just trying to see what you think! :) 

    Should I use some custom jewelry to bring the colors together? or keep it simple with pearls..different hair- all the same?

    Orange and pink are paired together all the time and look great. However some people don't care for the combo. Go with whatever looks best on your bridesmaids (which is very important but many people don't consider at all) and that you and your fiance agree on.

    I think with all the color going on go for simple pearl jewelry. I have the same dresses for my bridesmaids in canary yellow and bought them all pearl earrings and bracelets that look great with the dress.

    I like it! Just don't go too flourescent and I think you're good. Unless Day-Glo is your thing =]. But i really dig those two particular shades you put up there---more so a tangerine and rose, if you want to get fancy w/ it =]

    I think pearls are pefect. They always are! Or simple gold pendant chains--you could get the girls the same necklace but with their own monogram instead or their last initial. A friend of mine did that for us and it was a really awesome gift.

    I think they are very happy, summery colors together. And I think that shade of pink is pretty flattering across skin tones. Orange flowers would pop against it. These colors always make me think of sorbet, and that can't be a bad thing, right?

    Great!! Thanks girls! The girls are actually wearing the three dresses below so I thought that for some I could do a necklace, earrings and bracelet, studs... different combos for the different styles! I think I'm really liking the simplicity of the pearls...

    Tomsbride: very funny: I love the idea of walking down to a giant orange. With a fiance that's 6'9 it just sounds so fitting haha! 

    :) so excited!!

    I thought I was a little crazy for wanting to do red, orange and pink all together, but it's so nice to see other brides with the same ideas!  Bright colors just make me so happy and bring a smile to my face!!

    SO glad!! My soon to be mother-in-law thinks I'm crazy for the amount of color I'm going for, especially since her other daughter in-law's colors were black,white,and very little green... :) 

    One of my MOH's is wearing the one-shoulder and the other the strapless. The other two will be wearing the halter.

    I am from Florida- citrus fruit is very fitting :) pink grapefruits and oranges!! 

    Lisaberry: Do you find the shoes comfortable? I'm a little nervous for the girls, so I'm thinking of getting them matching cute flats/sandals for the reception.
