Sapphire for September

Holley, on October 14, 2019 at 7:25 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 9

Hello fellow brides, I wanted to get your opinion on something! My birthday is in September and so are my fiance and our daughters birthdays. Our wedding is in September and sapphire is my favorite color since childhood and the birthstone of September so that's what I want to do.

So many people told me I shouldn't because that's fall and I should do fall colors, not sapphire, blue, black, silver, and white.

What are your thoughts on this cause I want to do what I want to do but I also want my guests to enjoy it too. Any advice on this or places to get sapphire-colored items would be amazing as well!

    Hi Holley!

    First and foremost congrats on your engagement and welcome to Wedding Wire! My fiance and I are also September babies! Our birthdays are 2 days apart. As far as your wedding goes, my advice to you is to do what YOU want. Your friends/guests have no right to tell you what you can and can not do for YOUR wedding. If the colors are really that much of an issue for them, then they have no reason being there. It's about the love and support they have for you. Don't let anyone get in the way of what you want unless it's something that can't physically be done due to seasonal reasons. Color is not one of them. Have fun and make your vision come to life.

    Happy Planning!

    Sapphire would be so pretty! My wedding will be in the fall and I'm doing a deep shade of blue (lighter than Navy but darker than royal). Do what makes YOU happy. You don't have to be traditional or go with what anyone else thinks. The color scheme isn't going to affect their mood.

    Hi Holley!!

    Sapphire is an absolutely beautiful color and if it's the color you want for your wedding, then you should absolutely go for it!!

    To give you some inspiration for how it could look, I searched on Pinterest for some Sapphire wedding decor!

    I'm a huge fan of picking the colors that you want and ignoring the seasonal palettes if that isnt what you want!! Go for it! Sapphire is also my birthstone!Smiley laugh

    Pick the colors you love! Just cause it's fall doesn't mean you have to have a fall themed wedding. Maybe it would be weird if it was April and you did a Christmas themed wedding but colors done correctly can be done at any time of the year.

    It's YOUR wedding and you can do whatever you want. Who cares if you don't do fall colors? You'll stand out that much more! Do what means most to you and makes your heart happy Smiley heart

    Choose any colors you want! It's your wedding, not theirs. I'd look around Etsy! They have lots of great wedding decor and can even custom make pieces for you Smiley smile

    "It's my wedding, I do what I want!" Your color scheme sounds super chic.


    Your guests will enjoy your wedding, no matter what colors you choose. A lot of them probably won't even be paying attention to color schemes and decor!
