Hi Ladies,

 

I've chosen teal as my main color with fuchsia and white flowers. Well, I chose this color because I do love the color and I thought it would be more flattering on my MOH than a fuchsia dress. Anyway, I've been having the darnedest time finding teal dresses and sashes. Most designers consider a peacock blue or dark turquoise looking color teal. I'm looking for a greenish looking teal.

 

I really wanted to go with a dress from the dessy group - After Six or Alfred Sung because they have so many options for men's accessories. However, they no longer offer teal in any of their dresses. So, I found a color Caspian that looks okay but then there is the matching items for reception. I'm falling short. Then, I came across their color Oasis. Well, in some pictures it seems more green than Caspian but I've never seen Oasis myself. They did not have it at either bridal salon I visited. So, I'm not sure how it differs from Caspian.

 

In the picture, Caspian is the more shimmery satin on #3 and #5. It looks bright in the picture but in person it was a bit darker.

 

 

 

This is Oasis. As I said, I'm not sure of what the color really looks like in person.

 

 

 

 

 

So, I continued searching and I came across Alfred Angelo tealness which appears to be the shade I've been looking for.

Problem is Alfred Angelo doesn't make accessories for men AND I can't seem to find any chair bows or table runners in this shade.

 

So, I wanted to know if any of you ladies chose teal and/or did you go with any of the above designers? If you did, what did you do for matching reception decor and groomsmen accessories?

 

If not, what designer did you choose?

 

HELP PLEASE!!!!! I'm so stressed!

I too had a similar problem.  I choose the color turquoise for the girls dresses and everything else.  I had no problem finding a dress in that color but trying to coordinate all the other decorations and what not soon because a hassle as nothing seemed to be the exact same color as each other.  I found that I just had to end up going with what was closest and realize that not to many people will notice if the color is slightly different.  You could also use different colors to accent so its not so noticable of the color difference.  As to linens I found this site has the most options, try looking there to see if something will work.  Plus, you can order swatch samples from there to find the color that is closest.

Hi JayKay,

 

I've searching and I did come across the same site you posted. The guy said he has a color Oasis which is comparable to David's Bridal Oasis. I went to the store and it's definitely closer to the teal color I had in mind. I am just not a huge fan of their dresses so hopefully I can find a color in the Dessy group that is very similar and go from there. It's just so nerve wrecking. I just went through the same thing with the invites! It seems never ending.... Thank you for you advice.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
