Weddingbee Blog

I present my version of the wedding blogger’s requisite color scheme post/poll.

My criteria for the colors:
1. Fresh + Modern.
2. Complement my venue.
3. Not too trendy (I know most of my color scheme choices below don’t satisfy this one, so maybe I should just throw it out).

The schemes I’m currently debating between:

[all white]
Sorry, no picture! My all white pictures are on my home computer. Please indulge me and use your imaginations.

This is the minimalist in me speaking. It might be boring since the building is so white and the lawn/grounds so green. It will save me tons on linens and rentals, though. Also, there are tons of flowers out there in “shades of white.” It’s definitely fresh, clean, and timeless. Maybe I would throw in some chocolate brown to enrich and soften it from being too formal red/white/black Modern minimalist.

[white + blue/blue-green + chocolate brown]
This is my all time favorite. I was definitely going to do it for my old fall date as it would allow my bridesmaids to wear rich, brown dresses. It can still work for summer if I keep the white and blue in crisp, fresh shades.

Even our e-pics coordinate!

A combo of this scheme and the next one. It might be fun to mix the two.

[white + orange + soft blue]
My favorite complementary color combo. You should see my color studies from AP Art…most were done in some combo of blue and orange. Mr. Lime is not sold on this one, though. He’s not a huge fan of orange, despite the fact that his favorite t-shirt is CalTrans orange.

Check out knottie Lecirage’s bio for more orange & blue, although I would use a more saturated orange and a less grey blue.

[white + soft blue/aqua + red]
The red picks up on the random architectural accents at my venue. Also, this is a summery color combo if I consider the seasons.

As you can see from the items in my closet below, I love this combo fashion-wise. I have a casual Diesel bag in these colors that I forgot take a picture of to add to this mix, too.

Please vote on which you like best. I’d love to have all your input and opinions, even if it’s “I hate all of the options.” Limes are pretty thick-skinned…bring it!
