What wedding colors did you choose? And do you think the following descriptions match with your personality?

Black: A conservative choice, black complements almost any color, especially lighter hues. Dignified and mysterious, black denotes sexiness and sophistication with a modern twist. Black is classic, never trendy, alluding to a modern bride. As an opulent choice, black is timelessly elegant.

White
: Symbolic of purity and innocence, white has strong connotations of youth and perfection. White aficionados seek excellence and enlightenment, as simplicity and recognition are constant ventures. White is a glorious hue (or lack thereof) that denotes a clean palette or fresh start for those who seek serenity and peace.

Red: A passionate, romantic choice, red is impulsive and outgoing. Depicted as zealous and ambitious, red symbolizes love and rage. Whether it denotes joy, celebration, happiness or prosperity, red elicits a dramatic response from both sides of the emotional spectrum. Red lovers tend to be restless and optimistic and go along with people with uncomplicated natures. A powerful selection, red is sure to represent a fiery hostess with 'look at me' flair.

Pink: A softer, girlish choice, pink is the sweeter side of red. A delicate hue, pink represents a sensitive heart that is affectionate and nurturing. The bride surrounded with pink has a maternal grace and compassion and a desire for protection or shelter. The rosy hue fan may also have a strong personality, but one that is willing to share.

Orange: Spontaneous and daring, brides who choose orange are bold. Because orange is a happy and trendy hue, orange enthusiasts tend to be popular, have excessive energy and are part of a large social circle. From a bright and happy backdrop to an exotic, spicy richness, brides who prefer orange tend to be fearless and curious, with a zest for life.

Yellow: The color of a sunny day, yellow denotes happiness and hope. Exuding warmth and vitality and usually possessing a great sense of humor, people who love yellow have cheerful spirits and optimistic values. You tend to look forward to the future and are intellectual, creative and idealistic. Yellow represents enlightenment and spirituality, lending itself as a great color on your day of matrimony.

Green: Green shades symbolize life, freshness, nature and fertility. A common choice for eco-friendly brides, green shows that you value your health and the environment. A harmonized and balanced color, green is a mixture of warm yellow and cool blue, just like its admirers. A calming and tranquil hue, brides who select green are affectionate, frank and responsible. You seek stability and balance, yet remain fiercely principled and refined.

Blue: Soothing, compassionate and cool, blue is the color of tranquility and royalty. Blue belles are deliberate, introspective, conservative and patient, tending to be sensitive and wise. Serene and cool, blue denotes cautious partners who are faithful but require a calm and harmonious existence. From watery aqua to a deep shade of midnight, blue can be soft and sweet or strong and bold.

Purple: Often associated with both royalty and luxury, purple is a passionate color. Choosing purple symbolizes dignity, tolerance and value. Violet lovers tend to be unconventional and observant, with a multifaceted personality. Tolerant and witty, purple devotees are likely to achieve authoritative positions. From light lavender and lilac buffs, who tend to be charming, witty and cultured, to deep eggplant lovers, who are creative and talented, purple can be provocative or sweet.

Brown: A natural, neutral color of the earth, brown represents wholesomeness and dependability. Symbolizing comfort and contentment, brown represents honesty. Just right for your wedding day, brown is substantial, steady and responsible. From rich chocolate and dark coffee to cream and soft beige, this earthy shade can be intense or pale, dramatic or modest.

  • I guess.  Mine are black and fuschia, which are totally "me" colors.  FI likes the black and can deal with fuschia accents. 

    On another note, we played "Ice Ice Baby" yesterday at happy hour and we all did assorted dances/rapping.  I'm pretty sure that's why we got some free drinks :)
  • I guess so, but this kind of reminds me of a horoscope - I can find bits of pieces of me, us and our wedding in all of them.

  • We were navy and ivory with touches of green natural greens (limes and fir boughs).  I don't know if navy qualifies as serene.  It's just so different than baby blue.

  • Brown and pink. I'm not all that nurturing or maternal, and the only one that fits me in brown is honest.
  • It could chance, but we are currently thinking some shade of blue and green. According to that, everyone might just end up meditating at our wedding, or perhaps taking a nap.
  • Our colors were green and white with black accents. I picked it because I liked the color scheme haha. It was nearly green and pink, but that seemed better for a May/June wedding than one in the middle of summer.

  • Our colors were blue and white, but definitely not based on the above definitions. They are the colors of the medicine wheel, blue for the north (where H is from), white for the south (where I am from).

    Blue represents melancholiness, loneliness. White represents unity, a new beginning. In traditional Cherokee weddings the B&G would exchange blue blankets and the chief would present them with a white blanket at the end of the ceremony.
  • Eggplant purple, cornflower blue, and fuscia.  Primarily purple, though - BM dresses, centerpiece accent fabric.  The bouquets had lavender hydrangeas and dark purple carnations.  I LOVE purple.

  • We used chocolate brown and gold and I guess the brown definition is me in that I am honest. The end. I chose them because they were pretty and I wanted to bring all of my color in with flowers.



  • Hahahahaha.

    We're using grey, wine, and light pink.  There's lots of black too.

  • I wanted to do just orange because I LOVE it and the description is so me but I know that 3 of my 4 bridesmaids would look terrible in orange, so I went with oasis teal colour from the Dessy/After Six/Alfred Sung collection with orange flowers for myself.
