| I was going with Black and Gold. White for my dress. And was having white rose bouqets with gold ribbon. And Black bridesmaid dresses with a gold sash around the waist. BUT..... Now i am leaning towards chocolate bridesmaid dresses with Pink Gerbera Daisies. Also having the pink Gerberas in vases with some nice smooth pebbles in the bottom of the vase, surrounded by tealight candles (i think they are called votive candles) as center pieces. What do you think. I would also use Chocolate brown chair sashes? or maybe pink would be better.Im thinking pale pink, Not the hot pink for the flowersWhich do you perfer. The black, red, goldOr the Chocolate and pale pink?Its an Autumn garden wedding (about 4pm), with an indoor reception. Also, what season can you gerbera dasies. Is Autumn the right season. Sorry if im asking too many questions. I am just looking for peoples honest opinions. Thanks!!! |

| i prefer the chocolate and very pale pink. i am also having an autumn wedding but i have decided on sage and burgundy as my colors. and i think the daisies will be fine in autumn especially since they are part of the sunflower family. i have seen a lot of floral arrangements designed for fall weddings with a ton of flowers from the sunflower family. |

| Chocolate and pink gets my vote! Gerbera daisies are a little spring-y, but if that's what you really want, you could still use them. You might end up paying more for them out of season. Check with your florist and see if they have any suggestions. I personally really like dahlias. |

| Well, I think that the gold, black, and red would be a little over the top. After all, you want to be the focus, not the decorations, right? The pink and chocolate are way more subdued, yet elegant and very pretty. I would definitely go with those colors. As far as the chair sashes, I see nothing wrong with alternating, one pink, one brown. Or maybe have one table full be pink, and the next one brown. Mix it up. Or even if you have 15 tables, doing most of them in one color, and then only a few in the pink. It would be pretty no matter how you do that I think. As far as whether or not gerbera daisies will be in season, i'm not sure. Better to call the florist you plan on using, or any florist, and ask them. They'll be able to tell you whether or not you could have them shipped from somewhere else too, and what kind of extra expense you might be looking at to get them out of season. It's always more for flowers that are out of season, since they usually have to be shipped from far away. |

| chocolate and pale pink - for sure! Gerbera dasies are spring bloomers, but available all year around. You could put a touch (just a hint) of pale pink/chocolate in your bouquet too - just to pick up the colors in the girls dresses - whatever you do, not dye any colors on the flowers - go fresh flowers too. I would go with the choc brown chair sashes - sometimes guys get a bit uncomfortable with so much pink around - dont forget its his wedding too. |

| Love Love Love the Chocolate and pale pink. My favorite colors , but that's not why. I have never thought about putting those to together for a wedding. They seems to match and go so well with what you have came up with. You could even give some chocolate favors away to your party guests. Everyone will love you theme.... the colors will go so well with a garden wedding. Congrats. And if you order threw a florist they can always get you the daises you want. Just make sure you let them know in advance. That's what the green houses are for to have the pretty flowers all year long.. I am sure you will look so pretty and the wedding will be gorgues |

| The black and gold will be too strong, and remember the gentlemen will be there in black too!While the chocolate may be milder and more appropriate for the season...it will complement the autumn colours.The dark brown however will clash with the black!Consider a reddish-brown, reddish-brown and white do complement each other without the harshness of black and white. It will have to be a darker brown-to red though, and consider atwo-tone with a fade from dark red to brown, with a white sash Gold only looks good as a trimming, so stick with the brown chair sashes and maybe gold edging...Hope I helped and good luck... you've got a long road ahead of you! |

| I vote for the chocolate and pale pink.It's a softer look than the black, red and gold which is also nice.I think brown and pink lends it's self better to a garden wedding.Also daisies are a heck of a lot cheaper than roses!Looks like they are available year round.http://www.flowershopnetwork.com/pages/newsletter/NewsletterOctober2006.phpWhat ever you choose I'm sure it will be beautiful.Congrats! |

| I love the idea of black/gold/white! I think it would look really elegant and be unique. Lots of people are doing the chocolate brown/pink or chocolate brown/blue combos these days. Black might be a bit too fancy for that time/season though, so what about choc. brown/white/gold? You can have pink as the accent color. I personally love hot pink, but pale pink would be pretty too. Or you can go pale pink dresses with choc. brown as the accent color and go with hot pink flowers. Gerbera daisies are in season pretty much year-round, but are especially popular Aug-Nov in most areas. Pink chair sashes would look better than brown, but honestly, do you need chair sashes? They make the space look really pretty, but will probably be noticed only by you. If it's in your budget though, go for it! (I wish they had been in our budget!) |
