Your opinion, please!! What color ???

So my ceremony is outdoors and there is virtually no shade, so I decided to get a bunch of parasols for the at least half the guests (the ladies).

They are made of rice paper. What color do I get them in?

My boq:


No bridesmaids, just 4 flower girls wearing this with green sash:


They all have bamboo handles and stems.
the ebay seller forthemodernbride sells them if anyone is interested.




I'm going to mimic this best I can the chair flowers will probably be similar colors to my boq, so I'm wondering if I should go brighter?:

Re: What color parasols for guests?

Maybe do a combo of Fuchsia, mango, and grass? Or is that too busy? Seems like it would be just like your bo-k

That was my first thought about them, but I thouht it looks too busy, want to keep it one color.

Re: Your opinion, please!! What color ???

I would do something like the ivory color..or a brownish or neutral color. I"m doing the parasols too...but only for my BP and only for pics... I am having a pastel blue and purple wedding, so i got light pink parasols.... If you get a color that matches exactly to the theme of your wedding...it'll just be too much. Good luck.

Re: Your opinion, please!! What color ???

I would choose pink. White might be night also. It will give a very clean and pure look. (or ivory, if your dress is ivory) Where are you getting the parisols from? I would love to get one just for myself and my bridesmaids.

Re: Your opinion, please!! What color ???

I voted "Other" - for the Grass. I think it would tie in so nicely with their sash.

Re: Your opinion, please!! What color ???

Re: Your opinion, please!! What color ???

If you want more color, Mango - if you want more classic ceremony color, your dress color, I think I remember you saying it was Ivory... Great Idea regardless!

Re: Your opinion, please!! What color ???

My first thought was to go pink but then after looking at the choices...I pick mango! I think it will complement the pink from the dresses and your BoK.

Re: Your opinion, please!! What color ???

Cute idea "color twin" - Okay I may have just invented that. I think you could probably get a cute picture of the FGs with the Chartruse (or maybe Grass). Honestly, I'd probably get all 3 (Fuchsia, Mango and a green). Are they expensive?

What kind of flowers are you doing for the chairs?

Re: Your opinion, please!! What color ???

i would go with white just in case the pinks or oranges clash with the shade of all your other stuff, plus even with white everything would still be bright

Re: Your opinion, please!! What color ???

hmmm I'm between the fuschia and the ivory. It depends, obviously the fuschia is going to be very bright and stand out and the Ivory will blend so depending on which way you want to go....I love the idea, they look so nice in pics!! GL choosing!

Re: Your opinion, please!! What color ???

I think you should go with the color that's used the least in your color scheme. That way they'll complement and not overpower.
I mean picture 50 ladies with a dominant color and then your flowergirls and bouquets. Too much I think.
