Colour scheme

Why not have duck and blue and pink ? I think they will go well together with the brown suit and tea length dress, opens more options for venue colour schemes to!

What about if all of his accessories were ivory (waistcoat, cravat, buttonhole)? You could bring the colour in through your dress, BM dresses and your flowers?

Can't you have both?

Have both, they look great together!

I'm a fan of the groom being different to the groomsmen anyway. Can't he have his blue accessories and have the pink for the BMs and groomsmen, or evn have all the boys in blue and just the girls in pink. You don't HAVE to have only one colour.

Ignore my earlier post, as I've just seen these...swooooon

Thanks for the ideas - I hadn't thought of having both

Gonna put a mood board together and show him the overall effect, with each colour seperately and then together see if I can't persuade him

Ha, this post made me smile. Basically, you want a colour to complement the brown and ivory, he has suggested a lovely match in duck egg blue (and I have to give him a lot of credit for coming up with this) but because it's not YOUR choice, it's almost like he hasn't had any valuable input....?

There probably aren't a huge number of boys who are going to jump at the chance to wear pink. If I'm honest, I like the blue suggestion better but that's just my taste. The moodboards above, combining both colours, are lovely. Could you not have you and the girls in pink accessories and the boys in blue? I'm sure you can buy handkerchiefs or such with both colours in?

I get your point, this is one of his better suggestions and I do like it. I was worried mainly as I can think of flowers that we could have with the blue, unless we went with ivory flowers.

This suggestion is considerably better than the reverse pin stripe suit he originally wanted to wear
