Wedding colours: Ivory Navy blue yellow OR Ivory Navy blue Orange?! Help please!

Bally, on October 27, 2011 at 6:58 AM Posted in Style and Décor 0 21

Hi All!!

I'm getting married next Autumn (Oct), but I want to have a stress free wedding day so I'm starting to plan everything from now!

I have already the venue, dress, music & entertainment and photographer, but I am stuck with the colours!

At first I thought on red wine ivory but as I googled it, I found it to be the most common colour for almost every wedding (as it is a beautiful combination). So i decided to change to something different but still beautiful!

I have decided to go for navy blue ivory either: light yellow (Y) OR orange (O). Both of them look really nice, I am in love with the yellow but fiancée likes better the orange as it is more autumnal (which is a fair point).

So I am planning to have the chair covers in ivory sash in blue flowers of the centre pieces & BMs in (either) Y or O. My bouquet would still be ivory with a hint of Y or O.

What do you think about the whole combination & which colour would you chose - Y or O?

Some examples below - Thanks!!

    The fist pic is an example of Ivory, Navy Blue and orange. (Please ignore the white suits of the guys). It's been difficult to find more examples of this combination. I really like the orange flower in the BMs hairs.

    The last 2 pics are examples of ivory, navy blue and yellow.

    Please let me know what do you think? Is it an extreme combination? Which one do you like better? Any other advise or idea is very welcomed!

    Thanks ladies!!!

    It's a tough call as they are both beautiful I think I prefer orange. But just slightly.

    I would go with orange. I too am having an October wedding and our BM dresses will be navy and I'm doing mostly orange/red (fall colors) flowers for everything.

    I feel like navy blue and yellow is a more spring-time combination. I vote for orange.

    And laura, I've been planning our wedding since last year (2 months before we even got engaged) so don't feel like you're crazy for wanting to plan a year ahead of time. LOL.

    oh and btw, Congrats!

    I personally like navy blue, yellow, and ivory together ... I think they compliment each other best!

    Thanks so much everyone for your input! I still like yellow, but it is indeed more for a spring wedding. I think I will go for orange but still I will check with the florist, etc.

    Any other comment is welcome!

    Nicole, LOL! Thanks for your message. My fiancee says I am such an organization freak that I will have the wedding organized for next month! Lol... I just want it to be perfect... but who doesnt?! Its nice to know Im not the only one!!

    Thanks again ladies!! xx

    I would go with the orange. I think its more fall than the yellow with the other two colors.

    I've seen lots of summer weddings with ivory, navy, and yellow.

    Angel B. & Brenda A.

    If you are interested, since we all are having similar colours, maybe we could exchange ideas on the deco, BMs, etc? I have got an idea on how I want everything to look like, but to be honest im not very creative, so maybe we could exchange some ideas?

    Let me know if you guys are interested and then maybe we could have a chat?

    Thanks!

    The price of flowers will be cheaper if you go with orange since a lot of orange flowers are in season at that time.

    I'm pretty sure FH cringed when I got my free wedding planning binder from 1800registry.com. The binder is HUGE and I've been steadily filling it for a few months now, lol!

    AND my theory is that the more I plan now, the less I'll have to do later. And it'll allow me to simply sit back and enjoy the process instead of being stressed out of my mind. Smiley laugh

    We're doing navy, ivory and hints of black with lots of music notes/other music related things - we're band geeks Smiley laugh

    but, I love! the orange and navy and ivory look.

    Congrats on having so much settled already.

    My colors were ivory, blue, and yellow - but my wedding was in July. Love the colors! Personally, I would use orange because of the season. Can't go wrong either way!

    Orange is blue's complimentary/opposite color so it's going to have more pop. And therefor gets my vote! Of course.......my colors are cobalt blue and tangerine so I *might* be biased. Smiley smile

    What about both yellow and orange? You could get two shades that compliment each other like these flowers!! Navy and ivory are your neutral bases and will go with everything!
