Changing Our Colors…

Changing Our Colors… :  wedding baltimore color schemes 443889

Although our invites are chocolate brown and ivory with a bit of dark purple, we’re switching it up. Someone commented on my theme post that our color scheme included gray. At the time of the post - gray actually wasn’t in the original color scheme! But, we’ve found that gray has been creeping in more and more and we’ve moved away from brown.

Without any further ado, I’d like to introduce our new color scheme:

Multiple grays ranging from soft to slate to charcoal, mixed with hints of lavender and splashes of aubergine, all paired with classic ivory. As much as I enjoy Colour Lovers, I adore Polyvore. So this is how the color palette looks in Polyvore.

Oh, and a random question for anyone who can help! I have a ColourLovers “patch” on my blog and every time I try to the blog, it freezes, and I think the patch is to blame! Any ideas on how to help me? :-(

@Josalyn: awesome! Great minds think alike ;)
@MagPie518: I used the links on the right under “About this pallet”, I chose “get this pallet image” at the 390×300 size and linked to it the same way I would as an external image link. I’m not sure if that helps or not…

I like your colors! We never officially locked down our color scheme, and it has changed a few times. Oops!

I really love the purple. Is that purple dress from Nordstroms? I think it’s the one I’ve been eyeing for a long time! :)

I love it! Our main color is lapis to match the color of our DB bridesmaid dresses. I’ve been struggling to come up with colors that would go well with it. These are gorgeous!

Grey is my favorite color! It’s our wedding color too! Along with ivory (my dress color), I thought it was stunning. Everyone bugged me to add a “real color” though, so we have a bit of pale pink thrown in there. I love that grey is getting so popular!

Those are great colors, and I’m leaning towards the violets and lavenders as well. The gray works beautifully with your colors.

I was just thinking yesterday that if I could redo my colors I might do gray and purple. It’s going to look marvelous!

I’ve done so much with my colors already I don’t think there’s a chance that I’ll switch it up!
