    I love silver. We are doing a combo of purple and grays, so silver matches the cool color palette.

    I want to have mostly deep royal purples with bright crisp grays and lighter shades of purples accents. Then mixed with some natural wood with black iron, mason jars, and low lighting for center pieces. 💜

    Well my ring is white gold but I prefer, in a decorative sense, gold. It is warm and calming.

    For as long as I can remember I wanted sleek, silver details opposed to gold. However, here I am planning my wedding for real and am finding that I'm using more classic gold (or rose gold, like my ring!) details. Still absolutely love both though Smiley smile

    This is one area where FH and I don't agree. I've think there is something timeless about a simple gold wedding band. FH thinks gold is ugly. So for wedding rings we went with white gold and silver tones and silver accents for our color scheme.

    Silver. I feel like it accents other colors rather than has a heavy, warm presence like gold does.
