    Oh my goodness everyone I need help!!!

    My wedding is almost 4 months away and I still haven't decided on my colors. Here's an idea of my church. My church is very old and quite charming. My FH's Father and Stepmother were married there as well which makes it sentimental to my FH. The Church is all white on the outside with a big blue cross. The inside is decorated in all burgundy and gold. My original thought was navy blue until I went to my cousin's wedding 2 months ago and her entire wedding was navy blue and silver. So then I thought about doing hunter green because my wedding is the week of St. Patrick's day and putting Four leaf clovers in the bouquets. However hunter green is very hard to find and the dresses I did find at Davids are not at all flattering on my girls and not to mention the fact that it doesn't match the church at all. So, now my FH wants to do burgundy, but wouldn't you know that David's doesn't have burgundy. They have sangria which is too purple...they have wine which is too light and almost looks lavender...they have berry which only comes in 4 different dress styles and they are all short and all of my girls want long dresses, and it also isn't a close match. They do have a color called caberenet that would be perfect, however you have to buy the dresses in two different pieces (they call them separates) and it will end up being over $200...I really am so confused and we have to get the dresses in 2 weeks. My final decision is to just do the dresses in pewter and have bright flowers. If anybody has any suggestions please let me know!!

    Your final decision sounds good, but you could also go simple with black and white?

    Have you considered not doing "colors?"  So unecessary.  Find a painting or a postcard or a bouquet that you really love and use that as inspiration.  Just try and coordinate everything you choose to your inspiration.  You will end up with many colors that will all look cohesive and subtle and elegant.  Frankly, I never cared for the idea of trying to match everything in a wedding to two or three colors.  It often looks forced.  Break the mold, I say!

    Find a dress you love for your bridesmaids, in the price range you are hoping for, and see what colors the dress is offered in and go from there. I don't think the dresses need to match the church. Have you thought of chocolate brown? Sage green?

    If you want a burgandy color I believe Alfred Angelo has a burgandy color dress. You could always look at JCrew or Target, or somewhere like that.

    You could even just do a neutral color dress (black, grey, brown) and have an accent color.
