Love your dress and the sage/grey ideas. Not so sure about the groom in white, your dress is such a soft subtle shade of pink it might look off white/dull next to a pure white suit. Would he compromise on a very very light grey?

NameChangeOnTheRegular · 12/02/2018 22:22

Gorgeous dress!
I would go for sage bridesmaids, and groom in grey suit with sage tie, if he'll go for that. (I do think a white suit might not look great next to a blush dress)

Thesmallthings · 12/02/2018 22:26

jena I don't.. not yet. I'm having it made to measure so am waiting rarther impatiently.
But if you go to their reviews many have uploaded their own pictures.

weall I have to agree with you but it is the one thing he has really wanted and has allways envisioned getting married in , I'm hoping to find a cream /off white/ soft fabric suite that would work but if not least he will feel marvouless

I love your dress!

I've just spent 15 minutes browsing the website although I'm in the middle of a divorce and very single 😂😂😂

Noloudnoises · 12/02/2018 22:44

Be warned OP, as lovely as baby's breath is, they really, really smell! Of sweet cat wee!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 12/02/2018 22:45

Lilac

Fozzleyplum · 12/02/2018 22:48

Another one here for pale green-and I thought that as soon as I saw your dress and before I saw the other posts!

Allthebestnamesareused · 12/02/2018 22:50

I think navy blue would look nice too.

Fozzleyplum · 12/02/2018 22:50

...and for the bouquet, pale pink roses with the green picked up by the leaves. The groom should go for a mid to pale grey suit with a tie to match the bridesmaids' dresses.

Huntinginthedark · 12/02/2018 22:54

Friend of mine had her bridesmaids in sequinned skirts
Bit like this, same colour, she had a floaty dress like yours and they wore little soft cream cardigans with it. I thought it looked really lovely and not your classic yucky bridesmaid style

savage I'm sorry, divorce is a shitty time, my friend brought a dirt cheap wedding dress and had a divorce party, some may see it as inappropriate and cheaping the meaning but it helped her get that final closer on a positive note... and it was a bloody good night too Grin

noloud Shock do they really? I'm going to have to go smell some now. Maybe the lilly mentioned would be better.

Settled.. deffintly having sage thank you all I really would not have even considered green at all.

Oh my god brilliant. I'm going to have a divorce party 🎉🎉

fireflame · 12/02/2018 22:59

Stunning dress, and I love the colours already suggested for the bm and mh dresses.

As for the flowers, babys breath, they are beautiful. I went to a wedding a few years ago where they had massive fishbowl type vases with the flowers in and they were just stunning. I'll pop a pic up. I don't remember them smelling of anything offensive btw.

longtompot · 12/02/2018 23:01

I would say lilys are much more of a strong smell. I can't have them in the house as they are too strong and give me headaches. Beautiful flowers though.

Huntinginthedark · 12/02/2018 23:05

TULLE
That’s the the fabric she had, with sequins. But ASOS have loads of plain tulle and I think it would suit your dress! She also had lots of baby’s breath
IT was all very floaty and lovely
I wouldn’t have a very structured bridemade dress with a dress like yours

Helendee · 12/02/2018 23:08

I also say sage/ silvery green. Very ethereal feel.

Thesmallthings · 12/02/2018 23:08

Shock they are beautiful centre pecies, simple but don't need anything else.

I'm having empty wine bottles with candles ( with the help of my bm's Wink) and different size pillia candles on the tables. ... I'm hopping it comes off classier and not as tacky as it sounds Hmm

I'm going to have to smell the flowers.. I'm intruiged and would like to maybe add them in some where..

Dusky pink
Soft grey lilac
Soft sage green
Nude pinky

Basically any muted soft pastel colour. This photo shows the type of colour that I like.

Your dress is stunning. It looks like a much more expensive dress.

Mmmm wedding dresses....
Sadly I'm married and view renewals after 5 years are naff

PETRONELLAS · 13/02/2018 07:45

I think a couple of hydrangeas for your bouquet would look stunning. Didn’t Kate Middleton have Lily of the Valley? Unless done well it can look a bit amateur.
A light groom’s suit is fine as long as the shoes are sorted.

cindersrella · 13/02/2018 08:02

If your not sure what colour why not have several?
