Wedding colors (to match with blue)

dks64, on April 17, 2015 at 2:41 AM Posted in Planning 0 54

I've been trying to figure out what wedding colors to have. Blue is my all time favorite color, so that's the obvious choice (my new car is blue and the center stone I'm about to put in my engagement ring is blue). My problem is finding a color I like that matches. I was thinking a medium blue, but I'm open to suggestions. I like blue and yellow, but it reminds me of the colors I wanted when I was dating my ex (he's in the Navy). I love blue and green, but I don't know if I love lime green (the tone that matches best). I love grey, blue, and yellow. I found a swatch, but I don't know if it will translate well to wedding colors (plus it's not my favorite shade of blue). I've tried using the palette sites, but nothing jumps out at me. Blue and silver is nice, but it reminds me of prom. Or I could ditch blue all together and go with green and gray. I'm very indecisive, as you can see. :p

    I've seen lovely weddings with lime/navy/neutral pallets and (biased because our pallet is very heavily leaning this way) blue/yellow/grey.

    if you'er unsure how well a scheme will translate to wedding colours, how about picking three common items (napkins? flowers? a pin of men's suits? a pin of BM dresses?) and put them beside each in a variety of combos of the colours you're looking at? It may give you a better idea of how each will work in practice (if it looks alright, what sorts of things are easiest to get in the colours)

    What color blue? We are going with blush and navy. What color is your bridal party wearing?

    We're doing royal blue, natural green (as in what greenery looks like) and Ivory. I think the colors go well together. It's a vintage theme wedding.

    I second blush and navy. That was going to be my second choice if FH didn't like the purples I wanted

    I'm using the same blue and gray! Love them! The yellow might need to be a tiny bit lighter, but just my opinion. I do love the look of navy and pink though but FH would kill me.

    This is our dresses and the bouquet is the color inspiration (purples); table clothes are silver with royal blue napkins. Centerpieces will match the flowers.

    We are doing cornflower blue to match my e-ring. We have had many ideas on what other colors to pair with it, but none that we really loved. So I'm leaning towards accents of silver and black.

    Following for some inspiration!

    I am still having a hard time with colors also. But ... I *think* I've finally decided on dark (navy) blue/blush/silver & maybe a touch of maroon.

    I'm doing navy blue and a kiwi green Smiley smile Here's the BM dress and the guy's tie. I don't have a pic of the bests, but you get the color idea.

    Here's a pic of my invites as well. Blue and green are my favorite colors so I went with them!

    I even used blue and green for the DIY totes for the BM's gifts.

    Just to give you some inspiration Smiley smile
