Wedding colors?

I am getting married in an outdoor garden wedding in June. My bouquet and flowers at my alter will be a mix of blue hydrangaes with small pink, white and maroon flowers with some grass. My bridesmaid dress is cornflower and the best man will be wearing taupe pants a cornflower blue shirt and a striped tie with blue and green and white. I am wondering if this is going to be too much blue condering my best man will not be in a jacket. cornflower is a softer blue but i am worried. the groom will be in the exact same tie and shirt but he will be in a taupe suit. i worry that if i change the best man to a white shirt it will look out of place since only his tie will be the same and he will only have the same shade of pants as my fiance. i really don't want to take the groom out of the blue shirt because it looks great with the suit and great on him. so is it going to be too much blue and if so, will it look like crap to change the best man to white?

Wedding colors?
I'm a wedding photographer and I specialize in outdoor weddings. Stay away from the white shirt or it will draw attention (stand out). Having more of the same is much better than several different. I think it sounds real good the way you have it. If you have hired a professional photographer this is something they can help you with. But the rule is-only the bride should stand out. If you haven't set the time of day yet, the best is morning or late afternoon sun. Stay away from 11pm-4pm sun-it is very harsh or if you will be doing it between those times have a place in the garden that is shaded for pictures. congratulations.
Reply:no, as long as the groom is wearing a jacket over his blue shirt, it won't be too much blue. maybe have the BM gown altered to tea length instead of a big blue full length gown.
Reply:Leave the blue shirt...the white would look out of place...go with your first instincts...and remember it' YOUR wedding..as long as you are happy you don't have to worry about what your guests think...all eyes will be on you anyway. Good Luck
Reply:Don't worry so much. Enjoy this time of planning and ex specially your wedding day. Things will not go exactly as planed but they will go to fast. Soak up every minute sharing this time with family and friends. Congratulations!
