Time to think about colors.

I wish dumb little details like this were more fun. Maybe they're not because Fred and I don't agree on everything.
In fact: Fred is going out of his way to dislike my suggestions, only to propose my very own idea back to me a few weeks later. It's sooooo annoying. He hates anything I say and his opinion sucks, but it's opposite of mine, so I guess that's why.

I told him before I loved Green. Green had to be in my wedding. He wanted blue. Now that we have our place and there's so much green everywhere, I said, let's do blue! And he said "I like green!". Seriously. What the hell? Anywho, I'm actually gunning for the dark blue in the photos below. So, of course, he prefers the light blue. Maybe I should say I love the light blue so he'll pick the dark blue.

Anyway, these are some of the color choices we're offered. I know it's hard to tell over poorly taken photos via email, but it's the best I got. Below are samples of the 2 shades of green and the 2 shades of blue, with the white linen. Below that are their white, gold/beige, tan-ish, hard to tell colors. But those are the neutral shades.




Here are the neutral shades. I'm pulling for white, but Fred has a problem with white. He doesn't think it's classy. We think it's because he's worked in a million restaurants with white linens and since he was on that side of things it's not classy or clean to him. BUT I'm pulling for white. Because it IS classy and clean....


I am having the hardest time uploading a picture of the table setting, but you can use your imagination for now.
Thoughts?

Hi,
I think the white is best colour.
White is evergreen colour and white dresses suits on bridal.

Oh, well this is an easy one for me because my favorite color is blue, but I LOVE the dark blue as well. I like it best with the white, but if you need to make a compromise in order to get the dark blue, the beige or tan should go fine with it.

I guess it also depends on the month of when you're getting married. If it's in the fall DEFINITELY go with the dark blue or dark green. If it's more in the summer, than I personally might still go with the dark, but I bet many would say the lighter colors might be more appropriate.

Dark blue and white. Don't men know enough to stay out of the bride's wedding? Sheesh.

(Of course, if/when you change your mind, I'll agree wholeheartedly with you then, too.)

Love you! :-)

Well, you know my opinion. The only problem with using a dark color on the table is that (it appears from the photos) the carpeting in the reception hall is dark. Dark on dark could be visually confusing (that's my over-the-top interior designer point of view, though). But if you use a colored square on the white, it would make it fade into the background and make the centerpiece pop. yeah!
