    Hi all!
    I want to work some color into the bridesmaids' looks.... they're wearing chocolate brown dresses. Our colors are a peacock blue (think dark teal), sunflower yellow, and a light blue. They'll likely carry some yellow wildflowers with big blue ribbons on them.

    So... I found a person on etsy to work with - she does necklaces with ribbons and chunky pearls... would you guys do blue ribbon or yellow? Yellow would stand out more... would you wear it again? Thanks for any ideas!

    I think blue would be nice especially if the flowers are going to be yellow...I LOVE the combination of yellow, brown and light blue, such a beautiful palette! HA, I might be a little biased since my colors are light yellow and blue but still...blue necklace would be really pretty...Can we see a pic of it?

    I think the blue is slightly more rewearable -- but love your idea for this type of necklace regardless of what color you pick!

    I think a blue ribbon on the necklaces would tie in nicely with the bouquet ribbon.

    I recently bought a brown dress to wear to a wedding, and I paired it with a dark teal necklace I already had. I personally thought the combo was beautiful. Blue would probably be more re-wearable than yellow, but I am sure your girls will enjoy either one!
