Color Palette

September 18th, 2008 @ 1:20 pm by Mrs. Spring Roll

After changing our color palette several (hundred) times, we have chosen a final palette of bright orange, pinks, and white. I, like many future brides, love pink and white. I was never a big fan of orange, but I just love how the colors look together.

Here we have my attempt at an inspiration board:

Photos from The Knot and David’s Bridal

How did you choose your color palette?

http://www.flowerchilddesign.com/gallery.html# also has a nice one in wedding bouquets…this color palette isn’t for me, but my former roomie is using it…I think there was a Martha article earlier this year using it, and it was super cute!

I’m not a huge fan of orange either, but I am considering using in my color palette as well b/c my color teacher said that those orange/peach hues encourage ppl to interact… and now I sound like a nerd.

I photographed a friend’s wedding this summer and she had similar colors for BM dresses - there were 8 of them and they looked like a beautiful sunset.

oh i felt the same way but i ended up using orange as one of our wedding colors too. it looks great in pictures and served as a great contrast to the plum color we were using.

i love the pink, orange and white - it looks very cheery and still sophisticated. :)

I did all oranges, pinks, and gold flowers at my wedding, and it turned out pretty great!

lisa: The dress is from David’s Bridal. I’m wearing it in chocolate brown for a wedding in November. It doesn’t need any alterations at all and is very flattering!

I loooove pink and orange! I wanted it originally for our wedding too, but it didn’t seem to work well with the whole church wedding. I love how hot pink pops too, so I kept that and added navy! :)

@cannotwait: I love that bouquet, especially the pearls :) Thanks for sharing.

@AliCherri1: That definitely sounds true; bright colors make me happy.

@lisa: It’s from David’s Bridals. My MOH and Bridesmaid will be wearing them in Watermelon.

@Mrs. Margarita: I agree :)

@carin: What a gorgeous wedding! Thanks for sharing :)

@Mrs. Toucan: We are getting married on a deck over Clearwater beach, I think the colors will look great against the scenery. Navy and hot pink sound great together, very unexpected.

I went with orange, pink, and brown last august. It turned out amazing. We got white, pink, and orange paper lanterns in china town that were great at the reception. I got http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30109193
in orange and cerise and used them as overlays on the white linens. Good luck! and Congratulations!

Yaaay for pink and orange! Like you, I wasn’t a fan of orange by itself (although I have to say it’s grown on me), but I love it combined with pink!

I work at the venue that dining room photo was taken at (its Clise Mansion in Redmond, WA)! It was such a gorgeous wedding, I have lots more photos from it if you need more inspiration!
