Colour match stress!

Wherts2b, 23 November, 2011 at 10:38 Posted on Planning 0 6

Our colour scheme is predominately peach but I can't seem to get matching shades for different things and wondering whether it really matters?

Also, is it ok to mix white and ivory? Our place card names & table numbers are white, but the table linen will be ivory and so is my dress.

    It doesn't matter at all, you can mix all shades of Peach/Coral/Ivory , that way it picks up on the deatils rather than all being the same shade where it tends to blend into one. Here are some ideas:

    I love peach! I am having all white with green foliage in flowers, but if I wasn't I would definitely go for peach...I think peach and ivory and white is a gorgeous scheme, very dreamy!

    Stop stressing. I had purple and fushia for my wedding and none of it matched exactly. No one noticed or cared :-)

    I don't think it matters if you have slightly different shades. I have sage green dresses for my bridesmaids but have yet to find anything else like ribbon etc in sage green. I'm thinking of just using a different range of greens instead.

    Thanks ladies ? feel better now as I know peach can be a bit wishy washy so at least with bringing in different shades it does pick out the details as you say! xx

    I was originally very much of the 'everything must match exactly' mindset but having played around with fabrics and things I've come to realise that different shades actually help to bring the colour alive.
