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

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 ???

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?
