wedding color opinions? (PIP)

melbelle24

Hey ladies! I'm bored tonight and playing around with wedding ideas, and I wanted to get some of your fabulous opinions. My idea for wedding colors is teal and charcoal, with an accent of a burnt orange-ish color. Teal for the main color, charcoal for the guys' tuxes (FI refuses to make his friends wear teal), and then orange for flowers and other random pops of color. I love tropical flowers, so my theme if you will is sort of a "tropical elegance in MS". My problem is that I haven't been able to find any good pics of my colors together, which makes me worry that they won't look as good in real life as they do in my head. What do you think?

Here's a couple pics of what I like/what I'm thinking:



I like the purple flowers on the bottom too, so I guess the peacock color scheme is another option.

More pics I found of the orange flower color I'm thinking...

I tried to convince H to go blue and orange an dhe wouldn't have it because they are bad football colors >_< lol I love them together, especially because they are gender neutral which is  great for your FI...
But the peacock can be so stunning as well..
Oh goodness I'm useless.

You girls amuse me. I'm glad y'all think my colors would look good, that makes me feel better. I couldn't decide if I was crazy for thinking they would work!

So are you doing
Charcoal + teal with pops of orange, or are you trying to add more to that? I will say that I worry about more than that... but that by itself will be incredible.

No no no, just charcoal + teal with orange accents

I think if your main colors are teal and gray with a few pops of orange then it will look pretty

I think that will be gorgeous, seriously!  I love the idea of those flowers in front of that color bridesmaids dress.  That teal color on vests for the guys, no?  Or at least a tie with that color if they're in suits!

P.S.  I love charcoal suits.  That was my first choice for the guys' outfits at the wedding, but obviously FI wants to wear his uniform, one of his best men wants to wear his uniform, and our officiant wants to wear a kilt.  Sooooo yeah, whatever.  There goes unity, ha!  I'm just telling the other two to wear a black suit and I'll buy their ties.

mmm Then I love it.
I LOVE the bright colors and charcoal is such a great neutral. (Of course I'm bias because I like grey EVERYTHING :P )

I like those colors.  I am a little bias since the colors for my soroity in college was a form of teal and gray.  HAA!!! I do love those with a pop of another color.

Thanks ladies!! It makes me happy to have approval and confirmation that I do in fact have good taste on occasion! Haha. Happy Monday!

Very cool colors - If you want to see them together I'd make your own boards and or go get some paint swatches that match your colors to take with you to things, like dress shopping or the florist, so you will know they will all be in the same color family and such. But they look great. I especially love grey suits as well - they make me smile. And the orange in the flowers will be gorgeous!
