Help with blue stuff!

Arquard, 5 October, 2010 at 12:31 Posted on Planning 0 11

So, following yesterday's discussion about suits and h2b's newfound love of a blue tie I'm having to overhaul our entire colour scheme. I'm ok with this; we hadn't bought anything in the green anyway but I really need some help choosing the right shade of blue.

This is the tie:


So you can see there's loads of shade of blue in there! I don't know what would work best to coordinate with the tie and also with the silver in the rest of the colour scheme! I was thinking maybe a Sapphire blue, but then I saw some wedding pictures from friendofafriend on facebook and her bridesmaids wore a really deep blue and it's lovely.

I also want to roll out this blue to the glass beads we're putting in vases for the centrepieces along with the silver origami flowers and I'm planning on using either table runners or silk petals in the same colour to bring it all together.

What about using different shades of blue....?

ARGH!

    Hi.

    Gorgeous tie! ?

    Royal Blue would look gorgeous. I'm ofcourse saying this because it was my colour scheme in my wedding but it would definitely work and would work well with the silver also.

    The picture used in my avatar is me and my b2b at her sister's wedding a few months back, their dresses were 'midnight blue', if that helps at all. Sadly I can't show you bigger photos but you might get an idea from the rough video I took at the wedding.

    Around 4.06 is a good still shot of the bridesmaids.

    My colour scheme was blue and silver, and we had lots of different shades of blue.

    Bridemaids dresses were darkish blue

    Table runners were royal blue, with dark blue flowers


    And the chruch bows were dark and light blue:


    In fact if you want a lot of blue organza, I'm going to put the lot on preloved very soon...!

    Either royal blue or navy would be good, or a combination of the 2 and/or silver. My Mum had navy blue BMs, but the pictures are all black & white so you can't really appreciate it!

    Where are the ties from? my OH would approcaite that one for Xmas!

    They're from zazzle http://www.zazzle.co.uk/the_pleiades_tie-151181927078239939 There's loads in the space/stars kinda theme!!

    Ok, I've thrown together an inspiration board of pics from Dessy to give my BMs an idea of the shades of blue and see what they like. Would also appreciate input from here. I was so into the green theme that I'm a bit lost now we're starting over!!

    I like the blue around the, middle star on the tie and think it would make for a very nice early summer colour!!!
