Wedding Color Help

Hey everyone, I have recently started planning my wedding for late August 2014.  My main color choises are a strong but light blue, like a sky or aqua color.  And yellow, like sunflower yellow.  I know these two colors will look great, but I wanted to incorporate more then just the yellow sunflower, (like the orange and red ones too!) Would these work together?  Or should I just choose a completely different third color to work with instead.
Thanks for your help!

  • If you mix sky, yellow and red, it is a primary color scheme which could look childish, unless editted very carfully.   Sky blue, butter yellow and vivid orange would be fun cheerful colors for a wedding. There are so many bright colored flowers available in August that are available in yellows and oranges.  
  • We did blue and yellow as our wedding colors.  We did a cornflower blue and a soft yellow, and I think it looked great.  I agree with PP, though, that you have to be careful not to have too many bright colors or it can look too much like a child's birthday party. 
  • My cousin had those same colors.  She also used pink and orange flowers in addition to yellow sunflowers and blue gerbera daisies.

  • Thanks so much for the imput guys!! I am most likely going to use orange as more of an accent in with the yellow flowers, but I'm sure a good florist will know exactly how to do it!
