I thought about green and purple with tan / light brown but is that tacky or should I stick with green and brown and hope it's ok for summer? Thanks!

The idea that you have to choose particular colors for a particular season is no longer a trend. 
For example, my fall wedding was royal blue, white, and yellow. Fall colors? Not so much. But I loved them. 

If you want green and brown, go for it. Nothing says you can't. Summer or not, they are lovely colors.

I think wedding colors are what the bride and groom want, it shoudn't matter what season you are in.

If you want green and brown for a summer wedding, then you just go ahead and rock it out!  Seasons and colors complimenting one another are a thing of the past.  If you and FI have your hearts set on green and brown, then go for it!

If you have green and brown at a summer wedding, it will be invalid. The marriage will be invalid. You will be a meretrix and a sl*tbag.

just kidding, of course

Have whatever colors you want. Make sure your bridesmaids are comfortable in their dresses, considering the weather.

Green and brown would be lovely.  If you want  to add purple, it will complement the green and brown too.

I think the right shades of green and brown can look very summery and fresh.  It makes me think of nature.

Oh yes! That colour combo can work great for a summer wedding...although I'd choose more of a grass or apple green than a darker shade.  Click HERE to see some great examples! :)

maybe throw in one more lighter accent color to tone down the brown but keep it to earthy. Our colors are forest green and ivory with touchs of brown and ligher green in May and I love how everything is looking so far!

You can use anything you like. There are no wedding police.  Colors don't "have" to be matched to the setting or the season.  If it makes the two of you happy, then you've found what you need.
