Colour scheme

EmJuly09, 26 November, 2008 at 14:57 Posted on Planning 0 8

Hi all,

First time on this, so bear with me.

I’m getting married in July next year and I’m just starting to think about colour scheme and love the idea of burgundy and orange. However will this go with a navy suit my husband-to-be is wearing? My dress is champagne. So I will have an orange and burgundy bouquet. And I’m thinking Navy suits for groom and best men (2) father of groom and father of bride with burgundy tie and orange button holes? I’m not having any bridemaids so don’t have to worry about a colour scheme there.

I could then add orange and burgundy in the table decorations etc? When I say orange I mean burnt orange, not tangerine.

    I'm no expert but to me that sounds like there's a lot of colours going on. I think i'd be tempted to go with orange or burgundy rather than both, but if you've seen things that look good in those kinds of colours then go for it.

    I just can't picture how it would work tbh.

    Congratulations on the wedding though and welcome to hitched. I'm sure someone with a better idea will be able to give you more ideas.

    Well Ive seen the bouquets with Orange and Burgundy, and it looks great, but just wasnt sure about the navy etc. I cant picture it, and I would love to see some pics. think I might have to research a bit more.

    Thank you.

    I think the orange or the burgundy would work but maybe just one of them in different shades.

    I think the burnt orange would be lovely. you could also have some deep yellow and pale oranges in there too?

    Yes, that sounds great. What tie do you think for the men? Pale orange and burnt orange button holes?

    Thats a toughie. i think it depends if you stick with navy suits. you could probably ask for a selection when you're in the shop and see what looks best?

    Oh so it can work!? Ummm now you've got me thinking. I will have to put all of it together once he buys a suit I think, or I could just have a practice run at home?

    Great pictures - thanks!
