Sunset Colors or Candlelight?
So I dont think our wedding really has a theme but Im trying to find colors and I cant make up my mind so maybe all of you can give me an opinion.
Our wedding is going to be outside (well tented) late evening into the night. Were going to have lots of candles and its going to be more of a dim lit romantic setting. I've even figure out our flowers LOL. Were going to have Calla Lilies and Roses. The only thing I cant think of is colors.
IDK which would be better. Purple and Orange or Purple and Silver. The silver would really sparkle in the candlelight but the purple and orange make me think more of the sunset.
And what accent colors would go well with them.
Any ideas?

Re: Sunset Colors or Candlelight?
I really like purple and orange, with teal as an accent. Here is a picture. Another great combo, and one that I think would be beautiful and really unique, would be plum purple, peach, and gray.
My bouquet: various shades of purple
girls bouqeuts: mix of white florals with a ribbon around the stems in orange.
Guys: black suite, white shirt, black tie with orange flower probably an orchid.
ceremony flowers: vases of orange flowers hanging from chairs
cocktail hour: white tableclothes with small vases of an orange flower.
reception: white linens with purple flowers or purple lines with white flowers.
i think it'll all tie nicely together and i think the orange, while not a lot, will really add a bit of punch in the colors and also make fiance happy.

This would be very pretty for candle light...
Of the colors you listed I like, purple and orange with accents of grey (more spring-y) maybe... or grapfruit (more summer-y). Using actual silver and not a grey makes me think of a winter wedding, but that's just me. :)
[QUOTE]I think it just depends on how formal you want things to look. If you're going for that more romantic feel, I agree that a softer peach (instead of orange) would look really lovely. Think lilac purple and pale peach, with soft hints of silver. I think that would look lovely. :)
