There are some great orange dresses on Baltic Born. Baltic born only offers store credit for returns, so I would never order from there. microworm I love the first revelry one you posted. You would look amazing in that. |

I feel like you need to see her inspo pictures. I googled that wedding colour scheme and got a pretty wide range, depends on her definition of emerald green I think! Some of the Pinterest boards that came up looked more eucalyptus green to me. I do really like that copper colour in the revelry dresses, dress 1 is my favourite out of the two but it get the difficulty of not being able to try it on.

Is this the IT color scheme of 2024? Someone in a local group asked for wedding recommendations with a very similar color scheme, except olive instead of emerald.

tinyjoys it must be. Can't say I love it, but to each their own. I looked it up on Pinterest after I posted and I think maybe it can be done, if the orange and green kind of take a backseat to the white/cream and gold. But like you said, not my favorite, but also not my wedding.  HATE the orange suits.  |

This seems like an updated version of the 70’s avocado green and harvest gold. I can’t picture this with everyone in a different shade of orange.

When I tell you my sister’s “pick your own in this color scheme” was by far the worst experience ever I mean it. She was a horror about it and nothing I picked was good enough. I have no helpful suggestions just sympathy for how fucking annoying it is. everybody around here used to always use David's bridal. Bride pickS color and like long or short strapless or not and send everybody to go find the style dress that fits their body type. But David's bridal is struggling to stay in business. They do have some cinnamon color dresses but that looks like the only orange The only input I was going to give was to avoid David's like the plague. I thought I'd give them a shot for a wedding I was officiating but instead of taking measurements they asked what size I normally wore and ordered a size bigger. When it came in I tried it on at the store and it was too big so I asked for a refund - which they talked me into ordering an exchange and promised it would arrive in time. It did not, and when I asked for a refund they informed me that refunds were only available if items were returned within 10 days of the initial order. So, even though I had never actually been in possession of the item they asserted that I was past their return period - which I would have been in had they accepted the return when I initially asked. Corporate didn't give a sh*t because it was up to the store. I was willing to pay a fee to restock or whatever but anytime I talked to someone they would say the manager would need to call me back and it was months before it was finally resolved. I'm sorry, that's not much help to you - just trying to spread the David's Bridal boycott |

I feel like these are late fall colors at best, very Irish inspired and definitely not my bag baby.

I'd join in on the ribbing but I have no idea if any of that ^^^ is her vision and the bride is my ride or die so I trust she is not planning an oompa loompa wedding. 😅

Girl you look amazing!
Part of my problem was that I am not the same size I used to be pre-kids and I had a really hard time dressing my 12/14 body (and I truly believe part of my sister’s issue was how I looked in dresses she otherwise would have approved). UGH. I’m so glad you found something you like!
