The bridesmaids dresses were coral for my brothers wedding and the MOH (me) was champagne with a mocha sash
Heres a few pictures.

Oh now that's true... I do love coral roses (even moreso than pink or red, actually!)..... they're very warm in feeling to me (if that makes sense)

I was totally going to do the color combo of blue/coral! Then I changed my mind for the umpteenth time. Do it! It's so unexpected and gorgeous!

I love that blue/coral combination. I would never have thought to combine those colors, but they look great together.
