I got this little tip from a friend of mine who works in a bridal dress shop. When you get the color swatch of the fabric for your bridesmaids dresses, take the swatch to a paint store. Compare it to the paint sample cards until you find the closest match, then grab a bunch of them. Use these for the florist, to match shoes, or anytime you need to pick out items in the wedding colors. Pass out the cards and you'll never lose your original swatch.
You can also use paint samples when trying to decide what your wedding colors will be. Grab a bunch of samples that catch your eye and try matching them to each other. Mix and match your favorite cards before making your final orders. This will help keep you from being surprised by poorly matching colors on your big day.
