Chocolate Brown???
As a guy who was recently guest at a choco-wedding, I can only say that it really looked dark, drab and sad. The bridesmaid dresses, the table cloths, the accents, everything that was brown just made me feel sad. I also heard a lot of "horrible color" comments from the other guests, so be fair warned. Your "fantasy" in chocolate brown might be better reserved for Thanksgiving, Hershey Bars and brownies.
I don`t know where this trendy idea started, but it just seems like some wacko wedding planner`s color palette has gone off the charts.
Regardless of symbology, brown is not a very uplifting color to be around for any period of time. It also harkens back to the early 70s eco-movements and was used in a lot of hallways and rec rooms to help keep people in a somewhat dazed state. If that`s what you want to connect your wedding to, so be it, but from this male artist`s point of view, BIG MISTAKE.

Just wanted to give and update. I have attened three weddings within the past 6 months and they were all chocolate brown. The wedding was gorgeous. I believe that black is worst then chocolate brown could ever be. The cordinating colors are what makes that wedding. I love the chocolate brown color scheme. What works for some may not work for everyone.
