She wants the colors to be neutral and her cake (which she wants to plan her wedding around) is Ivory icing with Chocalate edging. I was thinking about this dress and color for bridesmaids with bright flowers but wasnt sure if the truffle color is too dark or blah. Opinions really appreciated.





Here is the bridesmaid dress:

Actually, I think the truffle color would be perfect if she wants the whole thing to match the cake you described. I also think bright flowers would brighten up the dresses and make for a beautiful fall wedding color scheme. Maybe you could look into getting tiger lilies for the bridesmaids to carry and maybe filling them in with wild goldenrod or something for that fall feeling. That should play off the gowns beautifully.
Reply:The truffle color is pretty, but maybe not with the bride's dress...you want the bride to stand out and she might not with the truffle color. Maybe try to see if she would agree with the wine color. That way the bride can have darker flowers that will pop and the bridesmaids can have lighter flowers, that will also pop...you want things to stand out against each other and not blend in too much...hope this helps!
Reply:i like the gold dress for her, and the gold brides made dresses!
Reply:Her dress is amazing and so is that bridesmaid dress. I think Truffle is a great color that will go along really well with her wedding dress. As long as the flowers are bright you'll be fine. I would do something orange and yellow like gerber daisies. The color would go great against the dress for the bridesmaids.
Reply:I think the flowers should be colorful somehow - even burgundy, to keep it in mellower colours. Like the bridesmaid dress, but unfortunately, the skirt of the wedding dress reminds me of a dryer vent hose.
Reply:Perfect on both of them.





I think the gold %26amp; truffle will go together great!
Reply:I think the truffle might be a little dark...I agree that it would go well w/ the lt gold gown but might be too stark of a contrast...Do any of the other colors spark your interest?? If you all did decide to go w/ the truffle, I'd opt for cream/ivory colored flowers so that they don't clash w/ anything...
Reply:I'm not much on dark colors, but I like the Truffle color. I think it will be very nice and coordinate very well. I don't question the dress color, but I do wonder about bright flowers if she's requesting neutral??
Reply:I'm a wedding coordinator who is actually planning her own wedding right now! I'm considering the same dress, or one similar and the truffle color for the maids...





I love it!
Reply:I love the idea of all neutral colours. That is what we did at my wedding, it was so elegant. We used flowers to add a punch of colour. I prefer the latte colour dress over the truffle. It is more elegant. I think it would look nicer with all the ivory colours. Put her dress beside the two colours. The truffle is so dark it will stand out more. With the men being in black tuxes the latte would look nicer. Go to the tux shop and see what colour vests look nicer.
Reply:why not the latte color it's a very pretty color and neutral enough, and it will go good with the chocolate on the cake....if the flowers are ivory I think the latte color is the best
