Colors

My husband-to-be is going into the navy and would really like to wear his uniform for our springtime wedding.  It is Navy blue, but I don't want that for my wedding color.  I like purples and blues.  
What goes with Navy Blue?

    You could do a light purple or light blue with navy blue and it'd look really nice. I'd be wary of dark purple because it might be too much dark, but honestly, you can do almost anything with navy. I love orange and yellow and navy, I've also seen red and navy, pink and navy, or even just navy and white (which gives it a really nautical look) I was in a wedding with the colors as navy, green, and white and it was very pretty. 

    Check this out, there's tons of options and you can see how other people have worked with navy (keep clicking older posts, there's a whole bunch).

    I don't think you need to build a color scheme around his dress blues.
    I would use the colors you want to you.
    Because it's spring, I think I personally would stick with softer colors like:
    pastels, Wisteria, Lavendar, Thistle, Amethyst, but I wouldn't go much darker than like plum. OR, you can have a dark purple and balance it out with softer pinks, yellows, greens, and blues.
    Don't just stick to two colors! And, don't be afraid of having more than one color scheme.

    Our ceremony is pink, ivory and silver.
    Our reception is ivory, dark blue, baby blue, and silver.
    GL! HTH!

    ETA:
    Pretty much EVERYTHING goes with Navy! Yellow is most popular... BOO MICHIGAN... sorry. :)

    I think light pink and navy are very pretty together and would be perfect for a spring wedding.  Technically navy is a neutral (or pseudo neutral) so you can really use any colors with it!

    We had a friend get married that did navy, white, and silver. I agree with pp that light pink would be perfect with navy for a spring wedding!

    Navy is pretty easy to make work

    Navy and cream/tan (that would look good as tuxes) 
    navy and soft blue
    Navy and lime green
    Navy and silver and white 
    navy and red
    navy and hot pink
    navy and light pink
    navy and silver
    navy and purple

    Honestly you don't even have to follow a theme of colors either, if he really wants navy I would incorporate it some way, you could take a few colors you like and add accents of navy, ie navy sash on your girls dresses, navy ribbon on the bouquets (depending on the flower colors), navy napkins, or navy placecards,

    adding a small amount of it will make him and you happy and i bet it would look good :)

    Navy and pink and maybe a shade of light green? I feel like I've seen this before while lurking on TK.
