Bless your heart! Ive done weddings for many, many years. I heard this complaint alot from brides. Some men are sincere about helping with the wedding. While some men realize your wedding is some time away they dont understand how much planning is put into a wedding and they seem to put off the decision making .
Here is my recommendation find the colors you like and present them to your fiancee. Tell him the color you like best out of all selected. If he chooses those colors to, then youve got that part of the wedding pin pointed. Be prepared if he doesnt like those colors and picks different colors. Then you need to compromise. Also I might add men have very good taste in picking colors for weddings . Sometimes far better than the bride. Good Luck and Congratulations!

I think more times than not, men really don't have too much input. Most of the time they are satisfied with taking a back seat and letting the future bride make the big decisions and it seems this is the situation in your case. So go ahead, pick out your favorite color, ask him if it meets his approval and continue planning the wedding of your dreams.

Honestly, guys could care less about the colors, flowers, etc., do that on your own, pick some things out, and simply say, these are the colors I think best suit us, and then wait for the "uh-huh", and simply say, "OK, then it's _________" whatever it is and move forward. Then ask him point blank, "Is there anything about this day/ceremony that you specifically want"...food, drink, music, etc., if he still says Uh huh, or I don't know/care, then you just role with it. You will find that most brides are the planners when it comes to the big day, the groom is looking forward to the union, and then the "party"........Enjoy!

Spring and summer colors are typically pastels (sage, pink, yellow), fall colors are darker (dark oranges, browns, burgundy) winter colors are often blue, silver, white, or deeper reds & greens. You didn't mention when you would be getting married, so other than what I've mentioned it is hard to help with colors.
You could go with themes, such as grapes/wine, leaves, hearts, snowflakes, stars, beach/tropical or whatever that can tie into your colors. There may be a certain flower that you like that you could use for colors (daisies - yellow/white, roses - red, etc.)
It is sort of up to you what you envision your bridesmaid wearing, and how you'd like the hall to be decorated.

try asking him what colors he does not want in the wedding and then pick your colors from there. guys tend to know the wedding day is the "bride's" day. they'll let you know if they are really opposed to something, otherwise they're happy if you are. just run with it and make sure you're not planning anything that will offend him and everything will be fine. good luck, sweetie!

As much as you want him to help and give you input, he won't. A wedding is all for the woman. So pick what you like and occasionally ask him if he likes it he'll give you the "yeah" but down the road he'll feel like he was truly included in the planning process.

LOL, I am in the SAME boat with you. The best I can say, is if he is not wanting much to do with the planning, then plan with what you like. If he doesn't like something you had planned, then gently remind him that he really didn't want to plan. It seems to me maybe our men just trust us to make a pretty wedding, so lets have fun with it.

One thing that I find is easiest, is to just use your favorite color, and his favorite color. Or you can go for a generic color scheme for whatever season your getting married in. Summer:bright blues, pinks and oanges; fall--reds, oranges and browns; Winter---whites, silvers, reds, sky blue; Spring----pastels.
Tell him that oyu need to get serious with making decisions, or let him plan and arrange the honeymoon and you do the wedding...thats what my fiance and I are doing

Most men are not interest. I had to get my mother-in-law to help me corner my husband to get input. The best advice I can give you is talk to him. Ask him if he's interested in helping with all the details, or if he's just in it for the cake samples when you go to the bakery. If he doesn't want to help with colors, etc. Don't make him, just ask him for a guest and wedding party list and do your bride-to-be thang! :+)
