    Hi Debs,
    Just looked at your pics (promise! I've dipped into other threads over the past few days but haven't had time to look at all).
    I think your dresses are gorgeous! Your wedding colours are really striking and look really elegant.
    I drove past a bridal shop last week that had orange dresses in both windows and they looked really striking - lovely!
    BTW, I think your daughter will risk a smile on the day and will look beautiful ;)
    Your flowers are beautiful, can I be cheeky and ask if you have a bigger photo of them? My daughter is having orange lilles next year and I'm trying to get her pics of bouquets so she can see how they look.

    Rinroo, Orange and Aqua for next year? Lovely back to bright colours!
    I'll pass on the good news to my daughter who is going for Aqua for her bm's.

    Hey..

    Just wanted to say they both look lovely, but to keep the contrast going I would have had the girls in the orange dresses with a black wrap. (i.e black dress, orange wrap, orange dress, black wrap). Just to keep it tied in and co-ordinated. Love the colour though.


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    just had a quick peek on this part of the site and logged in especially just to make a comment.
    the dresses are stunning and photograph really well(some colours look washed out and inspid in photos even if they are nice in the flesh)
    The contrasting wraps are the way to go as your eye is drawn to the cream at the moment.
    flowers are fab too.
    even if they are not to some peoples taste(as can be said of anything) it's your day and if you love them thats all that matters.

    thank you rinroo means a lot although 1 reply wasnt the response i was hoping its upset me a little bit as now im thinking that ppl wont like them ,
    but at the end of the day Ilike them they are what i want and the colours is what i and h2b wants i know its not every ones cup of tea but its our wedding ,

    u know on here i try and say a nice comment about everyones wedding as i know how much effort goes into it all , thanks all for just making me more sodding nervous and about ppl likeing my wedding choices !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 107 views and 1 bloody comment !!!!!!!!!!!i`ll remember that in future

    im seriously thinking about stopping all these wedding forums they are not as encoruaging and friendly as they used to be at the start

    Oh deary me. You sound quite annoyed. I'm guilty of reading and running because I looked at the dresses and they aren't my 'cup of tea' at all. I didn't want to upset you so I didn't post what I thought but now you're upset because the post had so many views and not many replies so I'm giving you my honest oppinon because I assume thats why you posted the photographs and not just to hear everybody say the dresses are beautiful. ;) I agree with the person who said that a black sash with the orange dress could make them go together better. But what I or anybody else thinks isn't important. It's *your* wedding and as long as you are pleased with them thats all that matters. If everybody liked the same thing it would be a boring old world. You would probably have hated my bridesmaid dresses. Here's hoping you have a fantastic wedding day and enjoy every minute of it.
    Life is too short to waste a minute of it complaining about bad luck. Find joy in the simple things, show your love for those around you and be grateful for all that you have. :)

    thanks for your oppinion , i know everyone wont like the colour, and we wanted a colour that everyone would remember , we didnt want the typical wedding colours although they are gorgeous they just wernt for us , , tho when all our wedding stuff is together they all do look gorgeous cos our reception is mainly orange and ivory , but yeh at the end of day it was h2b that actually picked the colour and then i loved it so thats all that matters ,xx just hope it al goes together like its in my head lol i bet i wouldnt dislike your dresses as really dislike and hate is a strong word ive not seen any bridesmaid dresses that i didnt like to be honest xx
