Helpful wedding color inspiration site

I came across this site while trying to figure out our wedding colors, and found it to be super helpful as reference:

http://inspiringbrides.blogspot.com/

Because I'm getting married in the Fall, but not so much a browns/yellows/orange girl, it was great to see other colors paired together for Fall weddings as inspiration.  I still haven't made up my mind!  But have narrowed down some options to present to FI.

(BTW - hope its ok to post stuff like this here, rather than the main boards.  I like to hang out here much better - you guys are all so nice, helpful and welcoming!)

    Fun fun, I haven't seen that one before!  I like that palette a lot too- still warm and bright but a little unexpected.  I loooove inspiration boards.  And yes, of course it's ok to post this here :)

    I have these other three sites bookmarked for inspiration, too, if you're in the mood for more:

    Missy, I'm a "fall" bride who is not doing fall colors.

    We are doing navy, baby pink and ivory.  I'm really excited about how everything is coming together. My girls are wearing navy which IMO is suited for a fall wedding. 

    What colors are you thinking?  I hope you continue to post!

    OOH, I found Project Wedding yesterday and am obsessed!  Such a great resource! 

    duqcheer - those colors sound so pretty together!  I think I'm going to do charcoal gray with a color - right now, navy or turquoise blue, lime green, or fushia/raspberry are in the running. 

    I really want to do the pink, but FI is not completely on boad (yet!)!  I might do three colors - b/c gray is so neutral, maybe I'll pair it with the navy and pink.

    Ohh fun sites!! I always love to have more fun WR things to look at while bored at work! haha

    Missy - I don't think you need to have traditional 'fall' colors for a fall wedding!! I think you should do whatever scheme you love!! :)

    I had a fall wedding and my colors were sapphire blue and silver. I had fall flowers though since I love the "look" of fall. Now if only it had looked and felt like fall and not winter on the actual day of the wedding....

    Missy-- There was the most gorgeous gray and fuschia wedding on Style Me Pretty back in August or so. I now, olds, but it just looked fantastic!
    It didn't look prissy at all, very strong.

    I doubt I could find it now, so there's really no point to this, but if you need votes, that's my fav!

    Oohh, I really like your ideas, Missy! I think charcoal, raspberry (if you can convince FI), and navy would look great together! It's not like he or the groomsmen would have to wear raspberry vests...you could go with navy or charcoal colored vests and add some color with a boutonierre. I had a lilac and silver wedding, and DH went with it (and I didn't make anyone wear lilac).

    Missy-- This was one of them, although I remember one with charcoal dresses instead of light gray.

    Meg - I love Navy and pink.  That's what I wanted to do but DH put the kibash on it.

    SLM- The pink is "minimal" It is my favorite color and he didn't even hesitate. The boys will wear gray tuxes and navy ties and have pink bouts. So he's comfortable with it :) Missy-I love gray and fuchsia! Hopefully with a little convincing your FI will change his mind! You could add fuchsia in the flowers and the BM's dresses but have the guys wear gray and add a fuchsia bout?

    Missy - if you like the inspiring brides site they can do an inspiration board for you with the colors you are looking for.  Maybe seeing the colors together would help persuade your FI that fuschia would work! 

    I had her do one for me and she was great!  She even emailed it to me when she had it posted.  Here it is if you want to see:  http://inspiringbrides.blogspot.com/2009/08/inspiration-96-navy-and-lime-aquarium.html

    HTH!
