Not sure if this belongs in this board...COLOR HELP PLEASE

casshayes

After graduating college, my wedding is coming up sooner than I thought! I need help finalizing my colors and would like help with an inspiration board as well. I haven't been able to find any on my own. 

The colors I'd like are dark teal, grey (dark probably) and purple for accent. 

Now my specific questions are: 

Will these look good together?

What shades of grey or purple should I use (light or dark)?

Should teal or grey be my primary color (I know this should be completely up to me, however without seeing them, I'm having a hard time deciding)?

Can anyone help me make (or find) an inspiration boards using these colors?

Thanks so much! I'm obviously stressing!

Breathe....the color scheme can be the hardest choice for many brides.  For me this was the hardest choice.  Purple grey and teal will look good together.   It was a popular grouping in the 1980s.  If you don't want a retro look, style it in a very modern way.  Pewter grey dresses are very popular currently with silver strappy heels.

Darker shades of purple, teal and charcoal grey lend a jewel tone vibe to the wedding.   Put these shades together for an elegant evening affair.  Lighter shades of lavender, turquoise and soft grey are softer and more relaxed vibe for a garden wedding.

The knot put together a wintergreen and lavender page http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-colors/choosing-wedding-colors/articles/20-crazy-wedding-color-combos-that-work.aspx?page=7 and a powder blue and plum page http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-colors/choosing-wedding-colors/articles/20-crazy-wedding-color-combos-that-work.aspx?page=9 that has some of the elements of a lighter scheme.   Also check out perfect pallette and color me pretty website for more ideas. 

Trust what you like.    For me, I finally had all the bridesmaids meet me at a wedding shop to try on dresses.  I went with a shade of dark blue that looked good on my bridal party and added additional shades of blues, yellows and golds around that shade.

Yes, purple/teal/gray could look good together.  PP has some great suggestions.  I wouldn't go too heavily on all 3 colors -- maybe pick one or two as the primary, and the 3rd as an accent.  I think bright purple and bright teal together would look a bit peacocky, so I'd personally prefer purple+gray as a gorgeous primary, and use teal ribbons & accents as appropriate.

Also, Google image search is a great resource:

I think all of those in multiple shades would look great!  The biggest and most obvious splash of color is going to be your wedding party's clothing, so start there.  Figure out what color you want for the bridesmaid dresses first!  Depending on the fabric, price-point, style, and designer you pick, you can get whatever shade of one of those colors that looks the best and most complimentary on everyone, and then pick shades of the other colors that look the best against it.  Good luck! : )
