I'm not sure how to actually explain what I'm trying to ask but I'll give it a try.
For the ceremony, did you use all of the colors on your palette or did you minimize it? For example, if you had orange, white, red, and gold, did you just use orange and gold for the ceremony and all four colors for the reception? OK, not sure if that made sense. :( But... Hopefully you understand what Im trying to say. :) OOOHHH, and for the reception, were your colors a bit over powering?

    I'm not using the colors for the ceremony expect for the bridesmaids and attendents. For the reception I used Gold as the base and lavendar and blue for accents.

    We used all our colors - but tried to play up the burgundy in the morning and then more of the orange (I wanted a light orange, more mango not pumpkin orange) for the evening.

    I don't think it was overpowering for either portion, but that's really because Indian weddings are all about color, so maybe that's why?

    Well, church wedding here, so not really applicable... the MOH's dress, GMs' ties, and the flowers were in the blue and orange color scheme, but it's not like the church really looked any different.

    If you don't think your colors are over-the-top, they're not... it's definitely a matter of taste.  I like vivid colors, but I don't like colored lighting much, but a lot of people love white and pastel weddings or brightly-colored uplighting.  Just do what you think looks nice.  Look at lots of pictures to get ideas.

    We did the typical hindu wedding colours in morning
    - bindi red
    - gold
    - burnt orange
    - coppers

    The flower girl, ring boy, GMs and BMs all wore royal blue. 

    For the reception: it was black, purples, silver and bling.  The Hubz and I wanted something completely different and so opted for those colours.  The parents weren't cool with the black at first but they loved how it turned out at the reception!

    I'd love to have two totally different looks for wedding and reception. That being said, I have nothing in mind. I want things to be classy. Maybe the reception would be amber and gold.

    For the ceremony we're going pretty traditional..... but sneaking in a teal color (I think). For the reception, we're doing more colors.
