Poll: Wedding Colors

What are your wedding colors?  What made you pick those colors?  Just curious :)  Our colors are pool blue and spring green, maybe with some fuschia accents.....

    This is going to be a REAL stupid question, but what's damask?

    My colors (I think) are wine as the main color, light gold for the accent, and black (sparingly, almost as an accent to the accent lol).  I'm certain about the gold and black, but I might switch from wine to emerald green.

    That's (purple) damask.

    Mine are green and pink (all too common- but they're our favorite colors...) with accents of yellow and white. And before FI proposed, I think he knew I wanted our colors to be green and pink. He assumed and I did not oppose.

    This picture pretty much sums up my colors. Pinks, greens, and white. I chose them because they are fun, spring/summer colors and the pink looked great on all of my girls.

    I'm using chocolate brown and ivory with accents of fushia.  I love the color of rich dark brown and the contrast with ivory.  The pink will pop against the brown (using pink mostly for florals....and my shoes!).

    We did dark Teal and Tiffany blue.
    Funny story but wives and girlfriends of gearheads will understand.
    His favourite Mustang is coloured Teal (car in my Avatar!), so his request is that we use the Teal Mustang as a getaway car, and the colour is very nice, so I added my favourite colour, Tiffany Blue and the colours look SO nice together!
    My MOHs wear Oasis and the BMs wear Mermaid!

    We're doing brown & light pink.  But I want to incorporate all into our flowers so I'm unsure what shade of brown still :)  I just love the way pink pops on brown!

    Our colors are slate, pale pink, and white.  I just love the light and airy feel of the colors and thought they'd look nice at our venue which is on a lake.

    Our colors are orange and bright blue. I love orange and the wedding is near the water so we felt blue would be a good color.

    Our colors are burgundy (cranberry) and champagne, with browns, taupes, and ivory.
    I really wanted navy blue, but did not want blue hydrangeas, so my next choice was browns but FI did not want to wear khaki, and I dont really like browns with blacks.  FI was against blue, and he wanted Red (his fav color).. I hate bright red.
     He does not like blue.
    We compromised on a deep red, I love my colors!! I

    My color is pool blue, and I am really just accenting with white. I am getting married by the beach so I wanted something blue and really simple.

    Mine were navy blue, pink and dark pink.  The girls wore navy knee length dresses with pink & dark pink mixed bouquets.  The guys wore tan suits with navy & pink striped ties.  It was perfect for our sunny day July wedding!  :)

    Our colors are gold and pale pink with cream accents. We loved the combination (although he could do without the pink of course.. haha but he honestly doesn't mind it and likes how it looks all put together). I know her marriage bit the dust.. but I loved Jessica Simpson's wedding pictures back in 2002 when she married Nick Lachey, and she had the same color combos. My mom joked and said, "Ok use her color scheme, but not her marriage principles." lol.. oh mom.

    We are doing black and white with pops of hot pink, bright orange, and bright yellow.  We chose them because I really wanted bright gerbera daisies and the black dress looked great with the flowers.

    These were my colors.  Raspberry and lime with silver accents.

    I want to do navy blue and chocolate brown. Not sure what the accent color will be yet... maybe mint green or just a cream color.
