Ivory and Duck Egg Blue

Amber2013, 23 of May of 2012 at 14:33 Posted on Planning 0 22

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone else is having the above as their colour theme? I was thinking more ivory with hints of duck egg blue. Looking for inspiration really, I love vintage styles as well.

Do you think it would look to "cold"... I dont know why but I have an image of blue being cold... odd I know!

Also, any ideas where I can find "duck egg blue" colour card? lol

Thanks

    I don't see why it would be too cold.

    For the samples, try a DIY store and get one of their paint colour sample cards...really handy!

    Some pale blues can be "cold' if you paint a room for example but I think a hint of blue will be nice. Duck egg blue has quite a depth & richness about it anyway so won't be cold.

    If you search Google Images for duck egg wedding there are loads of results inc these

    Eau De Nil is a similar shade (although more greeny) and this search gives results too.

    My wedding was ivory with turquoise (different to duck egg blue I know) and I was worried about things looking cold, but it looked quite bright and cheerful, we also opted for mainly ivory (biggest blue part was bridesmaid dresses) so I think it would look lovely

    The sister of someone I know had this colour scheme and it was beautiful. Did not look cold at all.

    Good choice :-)!

    We are getting married in June 2014 too SuziJune2014 and having duck egg blue as well!

    We are thinking of having the duck egg blue in bridesmaid dresses, chair sashes ties etc, but bringing in a dusty pink/pale pink in the flowers to compliment.

    I fell in love with this colour and then too thought arghh how is this going to work!

    Not sure if this thread is still active but I am also planning on a duck egg blue and ivory theme. Haven't even set a dat (but likely to be summer 2014). I use pinterest and have found lovely ideas on there for this theme. Im planning on using the colour on the bridesmaid dresses, a few hints on my stationery and the men's ties etc. I have also fallen in love with a glass dome/cloche/bell jar in debenhams that i would love to have as my table centerpeices. Would put some ivory and dusky pink blooms inside.Its so hard to find items with just a bit of the colour. heres the link to them: http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_304029802894_-1

    would style it like this

    We are having pastel blue and lemon as our colour theme as we are having an Easter wedding. I agree with the others it won't look too cold, especially with all the other decorations.

    Not cold at ll, I'd say it might've been bit flat with stark white but the ivory adds warmness. Love vintagey colours and themes, can't wait to see your flashes!
