Wedding Color Scheme HELP

Hello, I need some suggestions on the wedding color scheme. Ill give some detail about what will be at my wedding then give you the issues I am having.

We are having an outdoor wedding at my parents house. It is on about 80 acres so it is very breezy and outdoorsy. Ceremony is through the cornfield paved with grass and over overlooking a beautiful pond. We are having two large tents with a dance floor inbetween right off of the deck outback. Hanging lights overtop the dance floor and those lighted lanterns in the tents in different colors. The tables will be covered in black tablecloths with burlap table runners. We are having large mason jars with tulips inside and a leopard print ribbon around them. Then smaller mason jars painted a pale mint green with the cute red lips/mustach stick things to use for photo props and fun. Our favors are red lips and black mustache chocolate wrapped in cellophane. I will have hay bale seating areas around the yard and on the deck for lounge areas.

      I am trying to figure out how to coordinate everything so that it goes with my outdoor theme but also with the vintage mint green, leopard and red. The issue I have is that I am having some things that are red and I feel like if I dont incorporate the hints of red into my whole wedding that the favors and photo props will look out of place. 

Heres my other ideas about the red. Along with mint, brown, and ivory lanterns in the tents I could add a couple red ones just to bring it together. I dont think that I want to add too much red though since my accent is the leopard. I dont want to make it busy. I might wear red lipstick. Also it might be nice to have some red flowers in the bouquets.

The other issue that I have is our wedding party. Do I incorporate the red in them? Heres what I have so far....

Bride-I will be wearing a leopard print flower in my hair and a pale mint green sweater over my wedding dress. 

MOH-black satin bubble dress-pale mint green (waistband with hint of red as a flower?)
Man of Honor-vest differing from groomsman (brown?)
Bridesmaid-black satin dress with ? waistband
Bridesmaid-black satin dress ? waistband

Groom-black or white vest
Best Man-mint vest?
Groomsman-?

I want the best man and MOH to have the color that stands out and the others can have whatever. I had thought of brown sashes for rest but idk. If i did red I feel like it would be too rockabilly looking against the black and too harsh. maybe just red accents but idk how to go about that. I need a fresh perspective. Please give me help!

  • I don't think you'd have to have all 3 of your colors splashed in every decoration or wardrobe choice. You can have main colors and have accents. Like for the dress, you can do a mint green with the brown sash and they can hold red bouquets with the mint green wrap around the stems.
    Only thing about the mint green and red, is if they're too much of a main color, it may look Christmas-y, I'm unsure if that's the look you were going for, but keep it in mind.
    You can also have some main colors and incorporate your leopard and mint into table decorations. Even if you don't have a lot of each color, doesn't mean it's not part of your theme.
    I would try to stick to 2-3 solid colors for wardrobe and use the accent colors with your maids and groomsmen.

    Other than that, google your color combos and use pintrest to give you an idea at how others used these similar colors!

  • i dont think you need to add the red at all. from what you said the only red things you have are the photo prop lips. obviously no matter what color theme you go with the lips are going to be red, they're lips! go with the other colors and forget the red. besides the red dosent go with the other colors very well anyways.
