Colour Schemes...

Mrs2013, 9 January, 2012 at 12:11 Posted on Planning 0 64

Would any of you ladies care to share your colours.

I am to wed in August, my HIB wants to wear a black suit so I am trying to gather some colour ideas.

Thanks xx

    This is one thing im still not decided on! I am thinking of keeping my venue decoration, name cards, invites etc white/ivory and then just add the colour with the bridesmaids. Im hoping for a champagne colour. I originally wanted pink but OH wont wear it!! x

    Ours started off navy blue and blush pink but has evolved to more 'blues and pinks'! We ended up incorporating other shades as it was proving hard to find stuff in exactly the right shade - not that I particularly mind anyhow as I don't like things to be too matchy-matchy.

    I have been very unsure on colour schemes, quite fancied having to contrasting. Colours that. Maybe slightly different ie light green/mint/jade with baby pink or navy blue and baby pink, or even the peridot green with hot pink accents On tables etc but still haven't decided! I'm hoping my mb dress appointment in few weeks will shed some light on this! Xx

    We are having yellow, we picked it as it is quite an unusual colour for a wedding, and very fresh - so suits the time of year (May).

    Hi Jo

    I have seen some lovely custom ones on bespoke big day that they can glitter in any colour so i'm hoping I will order those. It depends on your price range as have seen loads of gorgeous crystal ones but way out of my budget. The bespoke big day ones that I like are £65. I need ones with only a small heel as already taller than OH.

    Let me know if you find any good ones though :o) x

    We're getting married in August as well and we're having Red, Yellow and White.

    I always wanted red but thought it could be a bit wintery/christmasy so we're throwing in a bit of bright yellow to make it a but more summery.

    Our bridesmaids are wearing teal, and I hadn't really thought about bringing in another colour, but teal and purples sounds great.

    Ours was going to be turquoise and fushia but.............. have a champagne/gold coloured dress, OH will be in 'normal' linen colour (that sandy colour) prob with a white shirt or something, MoH (if she decided she is going to do it) will be in turquoise so I guess it's turquoise and champagne/gold.

    We're having a vintage floral theme, with the main colours being pink and green, so very much like what flowmojo has posted!
