Color Help

So I initially and instantly declared that my colors would be Red, Orange with accents of yellow. With the girls in red dresses and the bouquets more orange with red and yellow. (maybe Fiance with an orange vest/tie and groomsmen w/red)

Red and Orange are my favorite colors, but I'm afraid that is is going to be too cliche fall or will it be too much with bright dresses and bright bouquets. 

My new idea is doing Red, Orange, Yellow(accent) and Navy... but will adding a the navy be too many colors? I'm thinking it may look cute though if the girls have navy dresses and red shoes with the orange bouquets.

Or the girls could do dark red dresses so its just a different shade instead of adding a fourth color.

Any thoughts?

Re: Color Help

  • Navy dresses with red-orange-yellow bouquets sounds lovely.  Of course I am partial because navy and butter yellow were my wedding colors. 
  • I think adding the navy would balance out the bright colors perfectly. The flowers I am using are hot pink and lime green so the bridesmaids are wearing cobolt blue and the color contrast goes well to keep it bright but not too much. In my opinion, going with the navy blue would be a better base color for the flowers to really pop out without feeling gaudy.

  • I wouldn't add the navy myself.  The red with orange, red and yellow bouquets sounds beautiful.  I do love the idea of a deeper red too though.
  • Thanks ladies! Any suggestions for the groom and groomsmen if I add ther navy? My fiance looks good in blue but I think it would be nice if he stands out from his grommsmen. Do the groomsmen have to match the bridesmaides?
  • For our wedding, we went formal with tuxes.  The groomsmen wore navy vests and long ties to coordinate with the bridesmaids.  DH wore a light blue vest and tie to coordinate with my bouquet.  The lighter blue brought out his gorgeous blue eyes.  The differnt color vest was enough to distinguish him from the other gentlemen.

    I think dark purple would be a great accent color. Navy blue would be nice too, though I think that is more of a summer color.  My nephew and his bride had colors similar with just orange and yellow.  The girls wore a yellow dress the guys wore linen suits with orange shirts.  The bouquets had matching flowers with accents of greens and purple.  It was simply beautiful.  Have a great day.Cool
