Which Color?? PIP

cherryblossom5

Ladies,
Before I was talking about changing my colors . the colors that i had before was very difficult to find in dresses, invitations, and decoration. So I am having a change of heart. This is what i have came up with so far. I truly believe these colors will be easy to shop for.
Im open to any opinions. Thank you in advance!!



Blue&Yellow



Blue&Green

I pick blue and green... but that could be because those were my colors! lol

cherryblossom5

I like those colors also!! Lol I remember!! you combined them so well together.

I like the blue and yellow.  That is just based off of color alone.  What is the theme or feel of your wedding?  If you are doing beach then I think the blue and green is better.  What time of the year?  Summer = blue and yellow   Winter = blue and green.  HTH

Djscat, The wedding will take place in the spring. I wanted colors that the guest would remember. i want the colors to be to be romantic and elegant. I live in Houston and our nearest beach is in galveston. I am considering having a outside wedding.

I went to a spring wedding and it was blue and yellow.  It was gorgeous!  The bridesmaid dresses were blue and the florals were yellow and white with blue ribbon.  My vote is blue and yellow.

I'm biased b/c my main color was yellow! But I would go with the blue & yellow.

Ksk2012

Ok so I love the blue and yellow.. the navy with the yellow looks great.. but here is an idea: why not do the Navy and Yellow as your main colors and throw the green in for accent. Like have your girls wear navy dresses ( I am not sure how people will look in yellow dresses- I would have to research that) but then have your maid of honor or sisters or mothers wear green dresses. Then Include green in your flower selection. Maybe you have Yellow and Navy bouquet and the BM's have a green and navy or green and yellow ones.

We are having three colors. Black, white, and red ( and a bit of silver too)

I am wearing the white. My girls are wearing black. We are all carrying red bouquets. The table linens will be white all around with silver sashes on the chair covers. The centerpieces will be  red and the girls shoes will be silver (glitter) and my shoes will either be black and white or red.

So I am mixing all three ( four) colors together and they go so well. To me! That is an option too!

Here is a link on the Knot for Yellow BM's dresses and in the spring or summer this might look great!

I am mixing colors like this too. Mine are black, white, burgundy with silver. The groom and I are wearing white, the guys black tuxes with burgundy ties and vests, the girls dresses are burgundy with black sashes (except the MOH's are flipped) My bouquet is burgundy with white splashed in and the girls are vice versa, bouts are white etc. I like your suggestion in Cherry's colors I think that they would be great together.

KsK2012, That is an Awesome idea!! I did not think to add the green in with the Navy. All I knew is I wanted to have the Bm's wear one color and have the Maid and matron wear another. And have the mothers in between. I didn't think that far along. I am so grateful you arrived on this post. Thank You! Thank you!! Now I can really let the planning and searching begin! Thank you for the link.**Hugs**

I agree use all three colors.  It will look great!  I say make sure the flowers are yellow.  I think that pop of color will just look so beautiful against  the other colors.  Good luck!

I agree i believe the colors will look beautiful together. Thank you!!

I like blue and green, maybe even lime green with a sllightly darker blue.

Either one works, blue and yellow reminds me of sailors though. No idea why.

Both would pop for an outdoor wedding, can't go wrong either way.  Would your BM's wear blue/yellow/green?  Yellow would probably give you more BM dress options.

Ky925

I think you should go with blue, green and yellow

lil01

I like the blue & yellow, but more of the teal & yellow. I think both colors pop & that would be vibrant & beautiful for a spring wedding.
