Cream and gold I think are traditional but not for everyone? What do you think?

Personally, I love cream and gold! However, I'm partial to the purple and gold fabric combinations as well. What's your particular style in every day clothes?

CREAM AND GOLD ARE OKAY .BUT IF THE WIND BLOWS IT TURNS CREAM AND GOLD WITH A HINT OF BLACK!!

My brother had an afrocentric wedding. He is muslim. He had our family wear purple and gold attire, and her family wore black and gold attire, so that the common color was gold. The bride and groom wore creme with hints of gold and brown. It worked out well. The two families were identified, yet unified and none of the colors clashed! Just a suggestion....

I had an afrocentric wedding and our colors were purple and gold. I chose these colors because they represent royalty in African culture. The bridesmaids wore gold dresses along w/Afrocentric jewelry (Cowrie shell earrings/chokers) and the groomsmen wore cream and gold vest made from African fabric. All were beautiful. Our theme colors were used throughout the reception site in the African fabrics on the tables, flowers, menu cards, place cards, as well as on the wedding invitations. I felt like it definitely made a beautiful statement about our heritage.

We are getting married on August 4, 2001. We decided to use the colors ivory, royal purple and silver. I really got tired of seeing so much gold and we really wanted to do something different. Ivory is definitely an afrocentric color. Think about the ivory coast, elephant tusks. Just a thought to share.

We are planning to get married at the end of the year and my fiance wants his grooms men to wear african attire, but I think that the attire will clash because my brides maids are wearing the basic(American)brides maid's dress black satin with a scarf. Would their attire clash? Our colors are black, white, gold..

There is nothing wrong with combining traditional American style attire and African style. The main thing is try to coordinate your colors. As for style clashing? Not at all, what you have is a representation of both your African and American heritage. "An Afrocentric Look"

I spent three years of my life in Nambia with the Peace Corp. Because of the impact that made on my life, my fiancee suggested that I incorporate that aspect of my experience into our upcoming wedding by having the flower girl's dress and ring bearer's vest be made out of some sort of African material. We visited a store that sells authentic African material, but now my fiancee is worried that the fabric's print (if large) would overpower little ones or that it simply would look out of place with everyone else's outfits. What should I do? I would really like to do something to incorporate this aspect of my life. By the way, the bride's dress is ivory with sheer layers over satin, the bridesmaids have simple navy satin dresses, and the men will be wearing French blue dress shirts, navy slacks, and some sort of tie. The groom will wear a navy suit with a French blue shirt and a tie. Thanks! Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
