Tune into colour Debbie Marias

This  is a photo from my step-daughters wedding.  She has asked me to do a rug to commemorate the day.   I have used the paint charts to try and match the colours.  I have been gradually doing the colour pages but still find it difficult sometimes to match the exact shade of a colour as there are so many to choose from.  These are three different attempts focussing on different areas of the photo each time.  I know her favourite colour combinations are the ones shown in the main bouquet (colour sample one) the flower girls dress in the bottom LH corner of the photo (colour sample two).  The last is just a random selection of slightly different shades within the photo.  Next I am going to make up some samples of rugging to show her in April before I begin the main rug.  The aim is to finish it by their first anniversary at the end of July.  No mean feat alongside full time work and two children!!
