Springtime in Chicago, as I’ve mentioned before, tends to be gray and wintry. Snow, slush, boots, and thick coats are on display well into the season. By the time our April wedding date rolls around, I know I’ll be ready for bright tulips and unabashed sunshine! That’s part of the reason we chose our new color scheme of pink, orange, and yellow.
I’ve been flipping through the beautiful inspiration boards at Snippet and Ink, looking for something that can help define our new wedding theme. Something with our fresh, citrus-y colors. Something that says, “Pow!” The following boards came with descriptions that match the mood we hope to achieve at our wedding.
Bright and classic yet quirky:
All beautiful ways to usher in the spring season, don’t you think? How often do you (or did you) change your mind about your wedding colors?

I love the bold and fun board! Such a great color combination.
Oh, that yellow and pink one is so bright and fun! Thanks for sharing 
i love your inspiration boards. My colors are actually the one thing in my wedding planning that hasn’t changed… unlike the date, venue, etc…
My colors have been set for some time and only had one minor revision (1 additional color added to the mix) I love the bright colors- especially the yellow and pink. So much fun and it can’t help but infuse joy into your wedding.
My colors are fuchsia & (light) yellow! thanks for sharing these!! The colors haven’t changed since we picked the date!
I love the bold & fun board! Bright colors are so celebratory — and I totally hear you on the grey, slushy days of “spring”!
I love the colors, and the “bold and fun” board. We have changed our colors several times from originally black and teal (got sick of hearing “what’s teal?”), to black and pink, to black, lilac & champagne. We wanted black because we thought it would make it easier for the BM to get black dresses they could use more than once. Apparently giving them too much freedom made it overly complicated for them, and it’s still been a nightmare.
Ooh - I’m so excited to see these boards here! I’m so glad you found some inspiration on Snippet & Ink!
i love the boards at snippet & ink. i like the first one you posted. so bright and cheery. i’ve changed my mind a few times before settling on the current combo. i’m done. so help me. lol
Those are lovely photos! And I love Chicago Spring! As soon as that slush goes away, it’s all good!
@Kathryn: Oh gosh, I always do. Thank YOU!
@tea: Haha, I’m trying to restrain myself, too. I saw a vibrant purple + bright pink combo in a magazine yesterday that sent my imagination flying!
@ColorCoated: Agreed, I love when the tulips start blooming everywhere!
I changed my mind once. But I keep flitting between keeping it yellow and white and adding teal to give it a bit of depth and colour. In the end it’s going to stay yellow and white I think
I love those boards! The light green is stunning….
love the yellow in all the variation, but I think my favorite is the third!
Ahhhh! It’s so bright and cheery! I am so, so not looking forward to winter right now, and this made me even sadder, lol!
i love these colors - i had originally picked them for our May 1 wedding for the same reason! we’ve sinced morphed to a yellow/green/blue color scheme, but the tulips are still in play.
Color makes people happy! A fun color palette will ensure a happy group of guests that are ready to party lol
I love the second one. I think I have that one saved, actually.
They’re all great, I love that you’re using so much color.
These are great! I love the fun, cheerful colors. I changed our wedding color pallete because I wasn’t sure how to incorporate the blue that I initially wanted.
I love the bold and fun board but I also liked the Bright and classic yet quirky. Infact all these are just beautiful but when if I have to select any one i would go for the second one
