Revisiting My Color Scheme

February 13th, 2007 @ 5:49 pm by Mrs. Emerald

I was perusing Oh Joy!’s blog where she recently posted her wedding highlight pictures from her photographer Karen Wise. I was admiring her gorgeous flowers when I realized *BAM* they are in my wedding colors! Duh!

So I present to you… my color scheme manifested in Joy’s fabulous bridesmaids bouquets! Deep red with accents of bright pink, pale green, chocolate brown and ivory (except I want to a go little darker with my red, but you get the idea). However, my bridesmaids will carry a dainty clutch of pale pink calas, while I carry the bright bouquet with all of these vibrant colors.

I also noticed that Joy’s amazing wedding dress is similar to mine! Yay! Ivory, all-over lace, V-neck with a trumpet flare and a small sweep train. But instead of the criss-cross, mine will have an ivory sash tied in a bow with a brooch. I don’t want to post my actual dress pictures publicly on here cuz Mr. E might be tempted to sneak a peek on Weddingbee every once in a while…

While I’m at it, here is the brooch that I found at Carson’s for a mere $20! I love that the center stone is emerald cut (hard to see in the pic), just like my engagement ring, and my “Miss Emerald” namesake. happy011 Perfect!

Oh, it all looks beautiful. Love the stone, love the dress (hoorah for moving away from strapless!) and the colours are fabulous. I’ve found a great site call http://www.colourlovers.com which you can create colourschemes through - may help you break it down into flat pigmentation? Hope it helps and congrats on getting so much in place already! xx

Beautiful! I’m almost using the same color scheme myself - a deep burgundy with pale pink and white accents.
