How did you choose your wedding colours?

I am having such a hard time deciding. Every time I think I have a palette I like I change my mind, or decide it may not work. I'm getting married in June 2010 but in order to shop for anything I need to pick colours.



I've been between turquoise and chocolate, royal purple and butter yellow, emerald green and black, navy and silver - Maybe I'm being fickle or maybe I'm just worried about getting it right.



How did you decide on your colours? Do you have any suggestions from me? I'm quite lost in colours right now.



Please note: I hate pink, we're having a relatively traditional church wedding and are holding our reception in a very nice hall in our hometown. It's quite warm where we're from in June usually in the mid 20s (in Celsius) so probably around 78 Fahrenheit. My bridesmaids are all fair skinned.



Thanks!How did you choose your wedding colours?
I couldn't decide my colors either. So, after choosing my dress, I made an appointment to bring all of my bridesmaids to pick what they'd wear. I basically let them choose with my input. We ended up with light blue. (Most of my bridesmaids are also very pale and blue looks good on all of them) Because there are not many naturally blue flowers (and there are NO flowers near the right shade of blue), I decided to bring in a few pink accents and have pink flowers.How did you choose your wedding colours?
my sorority colors. crimson and cream.

chocolate sounds nice thoughHow did you choose your wedding colours?
The colors I chose for our wedding was purple and white.

You can choose from a spectrum of colors that are in the purple family.

White or cream will be the contrasting color.How did you choose your wedding colours?
My entire wedding plan started with one thing I loved which was fuchsia orchids. From there it went tropical, had to be outdoors,etc. You know you hate pink so you must know what color you gravitate to more than others. Think of it like you just bought a new home. What look would you want? Modern, Asian, bamboo, Country, bunches of yellow daisies or bold %26amp; dramatic flowers? You need to get your overall vibe down before picking colors. You pretty much through out a ton of color choices that have nothing to do with one another.How did you choose your wedding colours?
Yep, you best get started, it usually takes a good year to get everything done for a nice wedding and reception. If it helps any, this is what my daughter did...smile. She was set on red, white and blue of all things...grin. So, she did her reception hall in red, white and blue, wore the traditional white wedding dress and underneath that wedding dress...you wouldn't believe it, but she wore a pair of her fav sneakers and some red, white and blue socks...lol. That's my girl!!! I saw the video, and my daughter was beautiful and the wedding went wonderfully, as well as the reception, with the exception of the groomsmen putting baby powder in the AC in the getaway car...Lordy!

It's YOUR wedding...if you like all the colors and can't decide on one color scheme, perhaps you can have someone help you coordinate all of them into the wedding and the reception. Maybe the parties in your wedding could wear one color scheme and the MIL's could wear another of the color scheme and then your reception could be another, as well as your flowers for the wedding...Don't be so worried about getting it RIGHT, have fun with it...smile. It's a day you will remember forever and something always goes wrong anyway...giggle, whether someone forgets part of their vow, someone steps on your veil, drops the ring pillow, etc....smile. Have fun, God bless and I'm sure all will work out fine. And, that's my 2 cents worth...Bren In TexasHow did you choose your wedding colours?
I know I was just %26quot;dazed%26quot; for awhile then started to relax a little and was able to move forward. I think if you go to wedding sites like www.theweddingknot.com that you will get good info on the latest colors and what is in. %26quot;Green%26quot; themes are really the thing right now. Once you find the combo you LOVE-you will know it and go with it.How did you choose your wedding colours?
i asked myself what my favorite color was and when from there. I picked different shades of blues and one printed dress that is a combo of all the shades of blues i picked. I wanted to make sure the girls dresses looked bright and spring like in the pictures more than anything!How did you choose your wedding colours?
i grew up wanting navy blue, silver and ivory.....i was hoping for a winter wedding....



but a few nights after my engagement i had a dream and i was wearing this red, orange, and ivory dress



i thought it was a beautiful combo



and that's how i picked my colors...



but try pulling colors from the reception hall..



it'll help enhance the colors of the wedding and allow the ceremony and reception have a cohesive look to itHow did you choose your wedding colours?
This might sound weird...but, when i was helping my friend, I went to a Walmart. Grabbed as many of those paint color samples as i could- since they're free there's no cap on how many you can take. Take them all home, throw them on the table invite a friend the compare and pick the perfect assortment of colors.



You can also just choose something that incorporates more than just the 2 or 3 colors folks are used to. Do something like a spring bouquet that has a million different colors throughoutHow did you choose your wedding colours?
my colors were decided by the season i was getting married. i am getting married this december 12th and well thats right around Christmas so i made mine a Christmas themed wedding.



so naturally my colors were Christmas colors. beautiful crimsons, greens, golds and silvers. can also be taken as Gryffindor or Slytherin if you really look at it.How did you choose your wedding colours?

but i think that any of those would be great!

but also have you though of combining?

the purple, yellow, navy, and silver would go nicely together but if you want to stick with just two colors i like purple and yellow best



you could go for somr sunflowers like this and tie them with the purple ribbon

i always liked purple and silver. a deep purple not a light purple.How did you choose your wedding colours?
Well first of all, I LOVE ALL YOUR COMBOS!! My wedding was this past Valentine's Day, so we knew we wanted V-Day colors. But instead of going with traditional Red %26amp; White, I chose a deep Crimson Red and Cream and our accent color was Silver. I loved the way everything came out. It sounds like either way, you like Jewel Tones (Emerald, Turquoise, Navy %26amp; Royal Purple). Not to overwhelm you, but what about ALL of those? When I think of those colors, I think of Peacock feathers. You could have the feathers in your centerpieces and even as the boutonnieres. Here are some pics...

Just an idea. I hope I helped. If you have time, let me know what you think. E-Mail me at : MrsHWeddings@hotmail.comHow did you choose your wedding colours?
i chose my favorite colors for the ceremony, orange and yellow. for the reception i chose to do a spring theme because we are getting married in april and we both love spring, but i hate pastel colors. so i am doing bright colors like turquoise, fuscia, purple, bright yellow, orange, lime green ect...

what is your favorite color? and you could pick a theme for your wedding.. thats always fun.How did you choose your wedding colours?
Mine started with Tiger Lillies. Where I live they grow wild along the highways. I started with orange, and then chose a shade that all three of my bridesmaids looked good in.

Why don't you go out and start looking for dresses. I found it was really hard to match what I was thinking with what was actually available in the stores. Instead of bronze I ended up with gold. Having the girls try on the colors is also a good idea. The other thing is looking at the venue. In my venue the colors were green and gold- white and navy certainly wouldn't have coordinated. Its a summer wedding so don't be afraid of color. I'm currently in love with the peacock color palatte- purple, green and bronze.How did you choose your wedding colours?
I chose fern green, chocolate, burnt orange and merlot. The idea came from my venue and theme. I wanted a wine country rustic theme because we are getting married in a vineyard, so thoes colors went perfectly! I guess you just have to choose colors that you like and that appeal to you. You'll get it you have time.
