Wedding colors
Ok, so what if, I am in love with many colors. And no matter what combo I choose, I always come back to another? Like, we though dark purple/Amethyst and diamond for our birthstones and Hazel/More Brown and Lake/Ocean Blue for our eye colors. We want it to be as personal and meaningful as possible. But I keep thinking of adding Orange because we are HS sweethearts and our HS colors were orange and blue, but also my name is Amber which is an Orange like color. Then there are my favorite combos, Pink and Orange together and Green and Ivory. Ugh, anyways. I cant quite decide what colors I want, or what I can settle for. I love many colors. So 2 Questions: Can a wedding ever just be colorful, with many colors? and also how do most of you choose colors, based on favorites or based on personal and meaningful thing, or both? Focus on the questions please.
oh, 3rd question, I just thought of it, Im not getting married for a year, July or August, summer of 2014, so how soon do I need to know this anyways? before save the dates and engagement party, is what I was going for, so that every party and the stationary match from the start... but when am I supposed to have this chosen? any specific time or month?
TIA

Re: Wedding colors
You do not have to match your stationary to your wedding colors at all, and you certainly don't have to have all of it match. My save-the-dates were stick figures with people in pink and green shirts. My invitations were black and raspberry. My actually wedding colors were champagne and coral. I would gag if all my stationary had been matchy-matchy right down to engagement party invitations. Besides, you don't throw your own engagement party, so those invitations would be whatever the host or hostess picks out.
I think what I'll do is choose my top 3, add 2 for top 5 and then if I find any other color, that I cant live without, then ill add it in, in a small amount sorta way... Amethyst & Ocean Blue... Eco Green & Ivory... True Pink & Yellow/Orange aka Amber ;o)... My fiancé wants red... I'm not a huge fan of red, maybe Rose red, I love roses & that's hopefully a big part of my floral arrangements.
Pearls and diamonds...
sooo many choices and I want them all... haha
Thanks for the ideas and for letting me know im not a freak for wanting many choices... Also, question off topic:
How do you get those knot tickers to show up under the comments. I tried and if you look at my original post, at the bottom... that's what I got.

I know you don't have to send them that early but all too often I've seen people on here having 3 weeks until their wedding and they are trying to track guests down, get final number counts, etc. I think that's where a lot of stress comes from. My fiancé and I are both stress free because we have everything done and paid for and we aren't racking our brains trying to call this person and that person to see if they are coming.
Sending them early so we can invite the b list?? That's ridiculous, we simply sent them out early because we have mostly out of town quests. We had no intention of sending them out early just to simply invite other people. We invited everyone we wanted to, there would be no reason to have a list of a listers and a list of b listers. We aren't the type that invites more than we could afford in hopes that some wouldn't come. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has sent them early and I'm sure I don't be the last. I apologize to the invitation police who see its their duty to inform me about the Proper Etiquette for sending invitations.
