We’re doing a cobalt blue as the main color (bridesmaids dresses, ties, etc.) and going with a sunflower yellow as the supporting color. (Fiance’s favorite flower is the sunflower)

Chartreuse, chocolate brown, ivory and an injection of orange in the floral arrangements. It’s a fall wedding and I didn’t want to go the traditional color route!

i’m doing a variation of the traditional brown and pink… I’m doing a deep espresso brown with a bright coral pink. I really wanted brown and since our wedding is in May… so we decided on the coral pink accents for the spring. It’s funny how the different shades of brown can work for all seasons… when traditionally it was more of a fall color.

sunflower yellow, dark chocolate brown, ivory, and olive green, inspired from a pillow at crate and barrel. wanted to have a fall wedding without the typical fall colors. it’s usually pretty warm in so. cal during early oct. anyways, so went with the beautiful yellow (my favorite color).

Sky Blue and Mango Orange! Perfect for our tropical wedding. =o) Plus, they are my favorite colors.

if its a summer wedding, aqua and minty green would look adorable. with hydrangea( in those color combo) as centerpiece floral. i love to use hydrangeas because they’re so colorful and has a wide range of color combos possible.
for tables, cream base table covers for each table and have aqua and minty green contrasters on top. put a mirror on the center of the table with lots of small votives tied w/ matching ribbons, and then hydrangea centerpiece. hmm…

Two of my friends did navy blue bridesmaid dresses and orange flowers (orange roses for their bouquets). It was so pretty!

We had a fuschia and orange wedding. I think picking colors can be a tricky thing because there are many factors to consider-What time of year, time of day, the formality etc. Colors evoke a mood just as themes do. If you are going with aqua, finding flowers to match will be challenging. Have you considered black and white with aqua accents if it is a evening wedding? I also think that teal and aqua are an excellent pair for any time of day. Good luck!

for our october wedding, i really wanted chocolate brown as my primary color…

… for my secondary colors, i didn’t want to go with pink b/c i felt like it was so common. so i picked lilac/lavender with some light green accents - a great tip is to go to the home depot and pick out paint swatches to see all the different shades of each color.

my BM dresses are tea length chocolate brown and for the flowers, we’re going with purple hydrangeas, sterling roses, freesias… and for the light green accents we’re adding light green cymbidium orchids and light green cala lilies.

for our GM, we thought that brown vests/ties would be too dark next to their black tuxes, so we’re having them wear the dark lilac vests/ties from afterhours.

We’re a fall wedding, and our colors are a rusty reddish orange, ivory, and gold. Our MOH dress will either be gold or rust, and the flowers are burnt orange callas, and various leafy-things.
