I hear that a lot of people have a hard time picking out a color scheme for their wedding and often go back and forth on this difficult decision. That was not the case with us. It was rather easy, actually. Choosing our colors was probably the first thing that Mr. S and I agreed on after we got engaged.
We knew that we wanted GREEN for sure because it is such a clean, bright and lively color. And it just so happens to be Mr. S’s favorite color. I think it has to do with the fact that he is mostly Irish and he feels he always needs to represent. St. Patty’s Day is like his second birthday and you will never catch him without his green on. No pinches for Mr. S! (Exceptions made only on Talk Like a Pirate Day.)
Arrrrrr! That’s the finest pirate booty I’ve ever laid eyes on.
PINK has always been a favorite color of mine.
It is sweet and girly… and oh so pretty! Mr. S always teases me (read: complains) about it because every gadget I own is either pink or covered in a pink case, including my iPhone, my digital camera, and my laptop. I am not greedy with my stuff, but over the years, I have learned that if I don’t want Mr. S using something of mine, then I should buy it in pink! Muahaha. But that also sucks for me because he refuses to carry any of my heavy pink luggage at the airport.
Here’s some eye candy for you… fresh green inspiration boards, followed by some lovely pink inspiration boards. 
Now, look at them together!! Green and pink goes together so well, don’t they? A match made in heaven.
I am so excited about our wedding colors and I am very happy that Mr. S agreed to let me put any pink in the wedding at all. We just received our order of 150 pink linen napkins and he agrees that they are really nice. *Gasp* I think he may actually be finally coming around to appreciating this girly color! This morning I asked him if he would consider wearing a pink tie/vest for the wedding. Without any hesitation, he simply stated, “HELL NO.” And just like that, that idea was squashed. Haha. Maybe I can butter him up later and convince him to wear some pink socks. Yes, that’s a great idea—pink socks for all the guys!
What are your wedding colors and how did you decide on them?
oh mah gawd, i love these colors together! So fresh and sweet! Simply perfect!
Guys are SO funny about colors, luckily, FI fully supports my love-affair with pink. When I ask him if he cares, he says “I’m a MAN baby, I don’t care what color something is.” To the point where we registered for a pink video camera.
Tell your FI he should make an exception for luggage carrying, it’s in the bylaws!
Yay for PINK AND GREEN! They were my colors miss sunshine! I can’t wait to get my pro pics back and do a POST-WEDDING inspiration board. 
Know what could be pretty cute…green and pink argyle socks! He’d have his green and you could get a little pink in there!
Love this color combo, it’s sweet and a little bit preppy and super-cute!
Love it! I have a pink credit card so that my fiance won’t use it. I call it fiance protection.
Love pink and green! I’m thinking aqua and coral (but probably should get engaged first before picking out colors. Maybe? Nah ;)).
I love inspiration boards. Great colors. I wish our wedding had more pink!
Mr. Snow picked our colors (blue and red). He said it’d be very clear when our wedding took place… which is fine with us.
I love green and pink together! My brother’s wedding was all green and pink and it was just so light and refreshing (umm, not by his choice by the way, my SIL took the reigns in that regard). You will have a beautiful day!
AHHH!! This is my dream colour scheme!!! My FI is fine with the pink, but hates green with a passion! I think I’m nearly over it, seeing FI so generously said that the flowers will have green stems, and thats ok. Sigh.
YEA FOR PINK AND GREEN WEDDINGS!!!!!
I chose the same colors and a lot of your inspiration pictures are the same ones I looked at.
Can’t wait to see your wedding come to life!
wow! Love your inspirations! finally, a girl after my own heart! Our July 2011 wedding colours are pink, lime green and yellow with touches of ivory. I love the bright, cheerful and happiness of these colours!
i also love pink and green color palettes… so pretty yet fresh and friendly 
gorgeous boards girl!
Yay! These are my wedding colors! And I am getting married in July, too! Maybe we have the same wedding date!!
I love this color combo! Pink is our wedding color (so I’m a tad biased) but this was also my sorority colors. It goes so well together!
Love your color combo! But then I’m a bit partial since ours are sage and light pink.

Mrs. Sunrise, Minneapolis Age and Occupation: 27, Client Relations Liaison Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Senior Technical Support Analyst Engagement Date: December 26, 2008 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: The Oaks banquet room at Eagan Community Center About Me: I am a crafty and optimistic, laid back girly-girl who fell in love with a video game-playin', hip hop-lovin', Lego-buildin', computer-techie nerd. I get easily distracted by shiny objects (oohhh pretty..) and I have more shoes than I can count (but I still need more). I love to shake my booty to Lady Gaga’s music but she frightens the hell outta me. Mr. Sunrise and I could not be any more different, but you know what they say… opposites attract! We met over 9 years ago while working for a local grocery store. It was love at first “Clean-up in Aisle 5!” We are both Chicago-born and raised, but recently relocated to Minnesota for his career. I will always remain a Windy City gal through and through, but I cannot deny my love for the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
