Petrol Blue Theme

Hiya,

If you are looking for invitations and things to match i canmake them for you. If you let me know what style of invite you require and email a pic of the dresses you have found i can colour match for you no problem.

The reason i ask you to email me a pic is because i have seen different varients of petrol blue, from a blue green, to a black blue with a green tinge, and a black green.

Please get in touch if your interested. I hope you find all that you want in your search

Hi

Is this the right colour?

The dress was made from taffeta which kinda changed colour depending on the angle and light which made it was impossible to match 100%. I eventually found ribbon for the flowers but it wasn't the right colour really. The guys wore a silver cravat and nothing else was in the same colour as I wanted champagne colours to match my own dress for the favours and chair sashes which was just as well.

If you have a silk dress in petrol blue it would be easier to match I think but another hitcher had a teal wedding theme and she struggled big time.

Is it more this colour?

Thanks for all your replies so far!

The darker dress is what the designer calls petrol blue.

Hi

That's a lovely colour! I think most custom stationers like myself, should be able to adapt designs to suit in colour so even if you don't see the same shade shown on a website it's worth choosing a design you like first then emailing to see if they can adapt it for you. For example I regularly print match as close as possible to a tiny fabric or ribbon swatches sent to me from clients. Matching colour cardstock can sometimes be more difficult but Petrol Blue should be fine. I've found various shades of blue have been really popular so far this year for orders and have recently made a portfolio in a similar shade. Silver works well with it and little hints of bright contrasting colours like hot pink as shown.

I know exactly what you mean about petrol blue being tricky to match - it's such a gorgeous, unusual colour but a lot of the big wedding suppliers only stock the "safe" shades! What worked for me was giving up on finding it ready-made and going the DIY/print-on-demand route instead - sites like Vistaprint let you upload your own exact Pantone/hex code so you're not stuck choosing the "nearest" blue from a limited dropdown, which made a huge difference for our stationery and favour tags. Also, slightly random but genuinely useful tip if you're doing a venue with limited parking for guests - we used R2Parking to sort out guest vehicle registration for the car park so we didn't have people getting tickets during the reception, made life so much easier on the day. Good luck with the petrol blue hunt, it really is a beautiful colour and worth the extra effort to get right! x
