    Light is the way to go for Spring/Summer wedding. The light exhibits liveliness and exudes happiness

    I honestly prefer a good balance of both. I love the contrast between the light and dark colors. I love burgundy with white and greenery. Looking at the pictures, I am more attracted to the dark bouquet than the light arrangement.

    I like that thought, Rhonda. I hadn't thought about the liveliness aspect. Smiley smile What are your wedding colors?

    Aw, that's so sweet, Tina! I bet your mother would appreciate that and it's such a nice way to incorporate her into your wedding.

    I like the lighter color. But then again it all depends on your colors and the time that you are having you're wedding.

    It's going to be light colors. We started off dark but he ended up seeing a tux he really liked in a pastelish gray color so light we go! (it's not often he likes something so when he does, i run with it)

    Dark with a touch of light works for our style and setting, an evening soiree
