Plum/Chartreuse or Navy/Chartreuse wedding colors??

micolbriana

I am completely torn on this decision. I am having an early September wedding and am in the process of picking my colors. I can't decide which combo I like better between the two. The primary color would be plum or navy with just accents of the chartreuse. I am wondering what kind of tone plum sets vs. navy. What is your vote or thoughts? Other details: ceremony is in a catholic basilica and reception held in a ballroom. My dress is ivory lace

I vote the plum. One of our other Knotties did this, and it looked AMAZING.

I like the shades of green in the picture posted with the plum dresses. Plus Plum/Eggplant was one of my colors so I'm biased :-)

I do like how the navy looks, but when I see navy I immediately think nautical.

We did plum and chartreuse, so I'm totally biased towards it. My best friend did navy and green (not chartreuse, but a different, wintery shade) and it was very pretty. I think they both convey the same sort of tone, which will really be more set by what you do with the colors (long or short dresses, formal or casual invites, etc). I think there's more contrast in the plum/chartreuse, so it stands out a little bit more, if that's what you're going for. 

Other things to take into consideration- what colors are in your venue and would if bother if you if there were some clashing elements? Personally, I hate red on purple, but our church has red carpets and I liked the purple dresses, my bridesmaids liked the purple dresses, it looked good on all of them, so I said screw it and ignored that I dislike red on purple. BUT if that's something that would bother you, I'd take it into consideration.

Hmm, I googled both to get more pictures

But I still can't decide if one is "better" than the other.  I think the plum and chartreuse looks nice and romantic.  I think the navy and chartreuse looks more modern.  I guess it depends on what sort of feel you are looking for.

I'm biased but I say navy :-) I think I have that exact picture pinned.

I did plum. It was called "Sangria", but it was more of a plum color, but sometimes, looked really dark pink in certain lighting.  I combined it with apple green, but we wanted bright colors.

Here are a couple of photos.

I prefer the navy.
