Weddingbee boards

So, I had already picked my wedding colours: chocolate brown with a green accent. And then we go over to my FMIL's house tonight and I decided to go through FBIL's wedding pictures to get ideas and lo and behold i see my wedding colours to be: chocolate and green!!! It would have been nice if my lovely fiance (who btw was the best man!!!) had actually paid even a little attention at the wedding so we could have avoided this crisis in the first place but anyways...knowing my SIL to be, if i still used those colours she would never leave me alone and would hold a grudge forever. So in order to keep peace in the family I am once again on the hunt for a colour combo that I love.

So, what colours are you gals using? 

So funny - that happened to me too! My fiance was in his sister's wedding... and just somehow "forgot" that here colors were red, black and white and main flower was a rose.  When I was talking to her on the phone, it went something like this:

FSIL - So, have you guys decided on colors?

Me - Yeah! We really like just black, white and a deep red.

FSIL - Really? Those were my colors. What color are the BM dresses?

Me - Black.

FSIL - We had that too.

Me - Oh. Well, we'll be accenting it with some black magic and red roses to give some color

FSIL - Yeah, I did that too.

IMAGINE how I felt! We're still using the same colors anyway, as I figure these colors are pretty common in winter weddings and I honestly had never seen a wedding photo of hers before, so she knows I'm not copying. But it would have been nice for my finace to step in and say "oh hey, my sister did that exact same thing!" He claims to have forgotten, which could be very possible seeing as he forgets most wedding details. His memory chip must be broken! :)
