does the shower color scheme have to match the wedding?
For a bridal shower of course?
I am planning the bridal shower for my friend.. The bride's color is a caribbean blue and ivory.
Can I do any color, theme, scheme I want to or is it typically best to keep in the same color palette?
Thanks!

Re: does the shower color scheme have to match the wedding?
I have seen it two ways:
1. Same color scheme as the wedding colors.
2. They themed it after the honeymoon destination and in this caes it was Hawaii.
Are you having a hard time finding things in that color scheme?
yes I am.
Hmm they haven't picked a honeymoon destination yet.
Hostess with the Mostess has some great unique shower ideas. I love that sight. I think you can do any colors you want, they are linked but two seperate things.

I don't think it has to match the wedding, just be sure to give it it's own theme or scheme (from invites to napkins/decor).
Disagree...in my hometown (Syracuse, NY) & w/ my family & friends, it is the norm to have them match & brides seem to like that
Like Heather said, in some circles, it IS the norm. I think it might depend on what your friends have done in the past. For me, personally, I think it's fun to take on a different color palette.
I'm helping plan a shower for my BFF later this year and mentioned some possible color combos to the other BMs and one of them said, "I like X colors b/c it's similar to her wedding colors!" But that had never been a consideration for me.
In other words, unless you think your friend *needs* to have the same colors - and maybe you should ask her - then go for whatever works best with the time of day/year/locale. HTH!
wow that site makes me want to throw a little party!
Yes, it has to match or the wedding police will show up.
affraid so, i was on a jury once, it wasnt pretty.
