Chocolate Brown Wedding

Hi All,

I am trying to figure out which color to use to accent my chocolate brown wedding. The wedding is October 15th.   I attached a pic of the bridesmaids dresses which are chocolate brown.  And the reception hall tables will have chocolate brown overlays on them.  Originally I was going to have the groomsmen wear the matching brown vest with a black tux but everything seems so dark.  I want a color that is really going to add a pop of color to the wedding.  Any ideas?

    The last two weddings I attended did brown and pink and it looked really great. I think they both had the men wear a sandstone color suits, which can help it all not look so dark.

    Another color that would look good would be a bright shade of blue- maybe turquoise. You could also do oranges and yellows.

    My wedding colors are going to be brown and orange. I may also add in fuschia to make this pop. We are having a September wedding.

    All of the above suggestions sound great. Here are some inspiration boards I found:

    Brown and pink:



    This one is brown and turquoise with peach as an accent as well:




    Hope that gives you some ideas!

    I think with brown you could do just about any accent color! It all depends on what YOU like - I love the second concept board Kim posted! The turquoise and peach look great - esp the peach bouquet!! Are you having any sort of 'theme'? That might help narrow down the accent color possibilities :)

    Nope, no theme for the wedding.  I really like peach with the chocolate brown too.  I am not a big fan of blue so I am not crazy about the color turquoise.  I like the idea of pink but more of a fuschia than a softer pink.  My fiance liked the idea of a burnt orange vest.  Maybe we will just have to go to a tux shop to see the color choices in vests and go from there :)

    My main colors are chocolate brown and clover green. I really wanted to do brown and pink, but FI wasn't feeling it. We're accenting with blue and ivory. We picked the green after going to the tux shop. We loved the way it looked with a brown tux.

    I LOVE brown and green together! Especially for September; it has the "fall feel" without using the normal fall colors (red, orange,etc)

    Copper!  We're using chocolate brown, plum, and copper and it's turning out to be a really fun metallic instead of the standard silver or gold.
