Colours... Would this be atrocious?

Hi guys,

We're getting married on August 9, 2013 and we're starting to look at colour schemes.  We're leaning toward blue (like a 'light' navy) and silver.  I'm wondering how this would look with black bridesmaids dresses.  I've seen a few pictures of black dresses, but more with brighter colours than that blue.

I guess the real reason that I want black dresses is so that the bridesmaids can wear them again.  Do you think that they could wear a navy dress, if it wasn't too bridesmaidy, again?

We both really like the light navy colour, but I'm worried about it looking too dark in an August wedding.

thanks!

Navy would be fine.  Anywhere you can wear a little black dress, you can wear a little navy dress.  Don't worry about the season, choose the colors you want.

I personally hate black and blue together but that's just me. If it works for you go for it.,

If you are thinking of a "royal" blue then I think they look great together. Especially with tasteful silver accents. I also agree that a navy dress should be very versitle for a wear again option as it can easily be dressed up or down. Maybe go shopping with a couple of the bridesamids and have them try on the same dress in black and blue and decide what you like best.

I don't like the blue and black together, personally. I would go for your navy bridesmaid dresses! Navy is a very good color that can be worn just as much as black!

I personally think that black and navy (when done right) look incredibly posh together.  Obviously, wearing a navy pair of slacks with a black suit jacket looks mismatched.  But girls dressed in all black alongside navy elements like decor would look very chic.
