Malibu color or mint color wedding?

Trisha, on June 26, 2018 at 10:57 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 12
So, we are getting married may 2019 and all my bridesmaids love the color Malibu and I'm still not sold on it. I live mint and peach. They keep telling me that if I go lighter it will wash me out (natural redhead with pale skin) what would you guys suggest? The brighter colors or the lighter? And what themes would you suggest with both?

Thanks loves! ❤

    As a red head myself I would go with the darker colors. Light colors do really wash us fair skinned people out.

    I'm doing Malibu blue and orange. We are doing a beach theme at a lake.

    Hi Trisha! Welcome to the WeddingWire Community! Smiley ring Mint and peach sounds so beautiful! Obviously, both color combos will look beautiful, so it just comes down to which you desire the most, and it seems like you like the mint! I definitely think you should try plugging your colors into our Color Generator for more guidance! Just select the spring option, then choose mint, and a variety of color combinations will generate for you to view! You can even see inspiration from real WeddingWire weddings who used similar colors! Good luck!!

    I don't think it'll wash you out... Plus they're the ones who will to be wearing those colors, not you. Smiley winking That it, unless you're incorporating mint or peach in your dress (which would be gorgeous too). Go with what you love. Mint and peach will look very pretty. And besides, it's your decision and your wedding.

    As for themes, that all depends on your taste too. I feel like mint/peach is more versatile in picking a theme. You can easily go "rustic"- greenery, simple decor, blush/peach flowers, or more ornate and elegant.
    I can't really picture Malibu in a rustic theme. Maybe if you did pops of that color. I feel like it would work more in a more elegant setting or like a beachy/tropical setting.

    I ultimately say go with what you want. It is your day and the brides maids just have to deal with it. Maybe you can use the darker of the 2 colors mint or coral. To satisfy everyone and use your favorite colors.

    If you love mint and peach, do that. I think the bold color will not look good with your dress, whereas the mint and peach will really compliment your skin tone and dress color.

    Malibu and Coral do go well together, but I 1000% agree that mint and peach with your dress/skin tone is the way to go!
