Wedding Colors

orangehills

Because I'm bored on this Valentine's Day at work...

What are everyone's wedding colors? How are you incorporating them? Like, is one color your bridesmaid dress, another all your flowers and decorations?

My colors are orange, with pops of turquoise and red. Bridesmaid Dresses are turquoise, mens ties are orange, flowers in bouquets and cake and everything else are orange, and all the decorations are mainly orange with some red and turquoise. I took advantage of having the one day I could to be as orange as possible!

I'm not sure on decorations yet but most of that will be Ivory I'm thinking

Flowers are Ivory Pink and minty color

Vintage inspired colors not a vintage wedding

Our colors are blue and blue Navy and light blue. They are our college colors (and our favorite colors) so we went with it. It's going to be very simple but very elegant I think. The girls are in the light blue (capri from DB) and the guys are in navy suits with light blue vests. FI will be in the navy tux with an ivory vest and a tie that's vaguely reminiscent of the pattern on our school basketball uniform (I cannot tell you HOW much time we spent looking for that). My flowers are light blue hydrangeas, the girls and guys will have white calla lillies. The centerpieces are the blue hydrangeas again and we're having navy blue ribbons on the chairs. Our cutting cake is in light blue and the cupcakes all have blue and white fondant flower buds on them. My reception shoes are glittery light blue toms! Our table numbers, escort cards, favors, and programs will all be in light blue and navy as well.

A lot of people have been surprised we aren't doing an accent color but we dicussed it at length and just really couldn't find anything that worked for us. I really think that while it's not traditonal (ie not having something contrasting) it's going to be very us and very beautiful. I'm excited

Green and ivory.... green and ivory everywhere!

BMs dress is green. The boys ties are green and their shirts ivory.
My dress is ivory. The flowers are green and ivory together.
The tablecloths are ivory with a green runner. The centerpieces have a fat green ribbon and then a thin ivory ribbon on top of it.
The invitations were a green pocket fold with ivory inserts and envelopes.
Green and Ivory paper lanterns hanging in the reception space.

I'm sure there's more I just can't think of it. But essentially I'm incorporating both colors on most things.

Ours are Reb, Black, White and Silver accents..

Red Flowers, Red MOH Dress (hopefully, we still need to get that), Red ties on the guys.
Black Tuxes, Black accents on FG Dresses
White Dress and Tablecloths
Silver Shoes

The centerpieces are a clear vase with red and silver aqua beads in them, a white rose and a red rose, with a black band of ribbon around the middle of the vase with a thinner white lace ribbon around that.  We will accent the tables with silver hershey's kisses.

Guest Book and Pen and Flower Girl Baskets are all black and white.

We don't really have colours, but I suppose we've ended up with gold/champagne and grey. My dress and shoes are champagne, and my brooch bouquet will gold and champagne tones. Our invitations were grey with cream lettering. No bridesmaids. Reception decor will probably just be cream coloured candles.

Our wedding colors are green, grey, black and white. Green is both of our favorite color. I originally wanted the BM dresses to be green, but one of my girls is getting married in June and picked green dresses before I chose mine. And yes, we are having almost identical weddings lol. So I went with charcoal grey and I am so happy I did. My girls love them because they will wear them again!

Our centerpieces will have a garden-esque theme to them and are going to be different green plants and babies breath.

I am making a brooch bouquet and it is mostly rhinestones and pearls but I got a few green butterflies and flowers to add to it.

Our colors are navy blue (BM dresses), purple (MOH dress) and gold (shoes). We are doing  Blue/Purple Orchids and Blue Bella Donna flowers, with ivory table linens and gold table runners. Hopefully everything will tie in nicely!

My colors are Black and Red.

Red shoes for bridal party and black dresses. GM will wear black suits with white shirts and red ties. FI will wear black suit with red shirt and black tie. My flowers will be white with black and or red feather accents, BP will have red bouquets. Centerpieces are red water beads with ivory floating candles on mirror and table numbers will be black frames with red number.


I was orignally was going to do blue and orange, but I wanted the girls to be able to wear their dresses again so I went with black. I didn't want to do the "Black and White" wedding so I thought red would be a nice touch.

Our colors are navy and ivory.

We are doing candle centerpieces, but will have tall votives with those little rock gems that are navy and white, and I made table numbers that are navy. I think that pretty much covers it lol

Our colors are pale blue with accents of light yellow and apple green.

The MoH is in yellow and the flower girls are in blue.  I would have loved the MoH to be in blue as well, but David's Bridal couldn't even come close to matching our pastel blue - it was all either navy blues, neon blues, or dusty blues.  Not a single pastel blue in the bunch!  I'm going to have the flower girls have yellow flowers and yellow flower clips in their hair.  The MoH is going to have yellow & blue flowers with a blue ribbon, and we found some really cute blue & yellow jewelry.  (OK, it's prom jewelry, but it'll help tie everything together so we're going with it.)

Our overlays at the reception are pale blue (on a white tablecloth) and the flowers will be blue hydrangeas with yellow ranunculous and white flowers that look like mini daisies  We're tying apple green raffia around the top of the vases.

We're using navy silver and blush pink. We aren't really decorating but the bridesmaids are in navy, the guys are in grey suits with navy and silver ties, and our flowers will be pink with navy ribbon.

Ours are dark pink, light pink with highlights of purple.  The girls dresses are dark pink with light pink pashminas. My bouquet will have both pinks with the purple and the girls are all pink!

My colors are basically various shades of purple. The girls are wearing a purplish-lavender dress and their flowers are white with pops of yellow and green. My flowers will be purple and white. The guys are going to be in classic black tuxes

Our centerpieces will be pretty much incorporate the same flowers as the bouquets. I'm thinking we are going to stick with purple napkins with ivory linens.

Also, a random accent that was incorporated into my wedding by accident was pearls.I ended up picking accent pieces that happened to have pearls. My dress has pearls on it and some of my jeweley and small pearls on my veil. I bought my girls all pearl jewelry. Our cake topper and cake cutter also has tiny pearls in the handles and our cake will decorated around the edges in pearls as is our card box. Our invitations even have an ivory pearl like sheen.

Our colors are blush/light pink, peach and a couple shades of green.

The girls dresses, the GM's ties and vests are light pink, my bouquet and centerpiece flowers are blush, ivory and peachy with foliage, the table runners are 2 shades of green. The girls are carrying clutches and I think they're going to end up being a neutral-ish type of grey, because they all picked out grey shoes.

Light blue think Carolina blue and ivory with silver accents :. Dresses are blue, mine is ivory. Center pieces are blue hydrangeas. Cake is white buttercream with blue hydrangeas. Favors/escort cards are silver luggage tags.

Ours are plum purple and a jade color that's really hard to match. The BM dresses are Ann Taylor, in a color called "Rich Malachite". The only thing I've been able to find that matches them is a pair of $1600 Jimmy Choos and some wide grosgrain ribbon. So pretty much everything is purple (no, I did not buy the Jimmy Choos!), and I'm using the ribbon on the centerpieces to tie everything in.

Our colors are charcoal grey, fuchsia pink, baby pink, accents of whites and creams

Girls bouquets are mixtures of pinks, grey brunia berries and dusty miller leafs

We also have 5 all centerpieces which are either going to be cherry blossom branches or quince branches (more of the hot pink color) Each jar is decorated with a rustic accent and/or baby pink, fuchsia pink, charcoal grey ribbon.

 We have a lot of grey accents including our straw with baby pink flags that say Christine and frank with our date and eat, drink and be married.
