    We chose a scheme that was special to both of us - we are both huge baseball fans, its something that started since we got together, and its just "about us"....and it ties in to where he proposed (the baseball stadium) - so we have our teams colours - blue and orange

    Hey,

    I just chose my 2 fav colours - purple & yellow - google some images i.e pink weddings or pink and peach weddings etc and see which one stands out for you!

    also think about the month u get married maybe? I've been told that u do not have to match every colour perfectly...it depends what it is...i think a few diff shades of purple or pink would look nice!

    OH didnt want pink and i want a summery colour so we spent ages looking at different colours together, I really wanted ivory and gold but thought it was too much of a winter colour and i wanted to have hints of pink here and there as OH doesn't have to wear pink we will be fine lol. I like terquoise but OH thought it was too bright.. Then i seen Teal and thought it would be a gorgeous colour for June so we settled on Ivory or white (Depending what dress i pick) Teal and champagne =) x

    I was really lucky that my OH didn't mind what colours we had.

    We're having pink and black. We chose these colours as our theme is based around my tattoos which will be on full show, and pink and black are pretty much the only colours I wear, and we didn't want to stray too far from that on our wedding day. I really dislike light colours, so my OH wanted to make sure we had what I felt comfortable with.

    I'm very aware that it sounds like it's all about me, but my OH really is 100% on board with it. (even the little hello kitty aspects there will be on the day)

    I always wanted hot pink and so did my husband. After numerous meetings with our venue dresser we realised that hot pink on it's own coudl look a bit too barbie, so had to use another colour to tone it down! We went for hot pink, pale pink white and black in the end and I think it worked well for us...

    Our colour scheme is orange. I chose it because we are getting married in autumn which is my favourite time of year and all the leaves will be turning golden and orange. And also because I fell in love with coffee break roses which are such a gorgeous orange colour I had to have them in my bouquet!
