What are/were your wedding colors?

sparkles776 · October 2011

I have a FI who really likes to be involved in everything. I had colors picked out, he dubbed them "too girly", which is fine, I am open to compromising. So ladies, I need some inspiration, what are/were your colors? did you have more then 2 colors? I am leaning towards having two main colors and an accent color, I just dont want to get too overwhelmed!

Our colors are Black, Hot pink, white with damask print. FI actually picked our colors! I originally wanted plums and navy.

It took FI and I some time to decide ours also..he didn't want any colors that were "too girly" either. We ended up settling on navy, charcoal grey and yellow.

We are doing Royal Blue mostly... the flowers will be circus roses with are yellow with pink/red tips but that is probably the only accent color. We will use white as a neutral.

Burnt Orange, Sage and Chocolate Brown with a fall theme.

My colors are like Acaponi's. We chose cobalt blue, celery green and slate grey. We're thinking Grey tuxes with blue vests, Blue maid's dresses with the possibility of a grey accent like a sash or something, then the flowers will be predominantly green, like green orchids and succulents. When I was looking online for examples, I found this, which is almost the same.

ours were black and white. the only color we brought in were in the flowers (pink and orange - the guys were okay having a pink or orange bout)

Meg1036 · October 2011

We had navy and lime-ish/sage-ish green. We used yellow (and lemons!) as a third/accent color.

DABarry · October 2011

We're looking at teal, sky blue, and yellow/gold

kd1986 · October 2011

Ours are burgundy and a few shades of burnt/rust orange. I think we're pulling in a couple touches of pink or purple too, but that's just to pull in the decor of the reception room. Otherwise I'm just sticking to 2 colors!

matuofm · October 2011

Navy and apple-ish green. We were in a rustic setting with a lot of wood, so we brought some woody browns for a third color.

i was worried about DH finding the colors too girly, too. I picked a bunch of inspiration boards that I liked off of various wedding websites (maybe 10 or 15) and let him tell me how he felt about them. From that, we determined what qualities he really liked, and fine-tuned our choices based on that. He found it really helpful to see the colors used for cakes, decorations, etc. - he needed to visualize it like that in order to really have an opinion about any color.

amyn1919 · October 2011

Pink and LIme Green!

LOTON01 · October 2011

Dark purple and sage green.

TheFutureMrsB81 · October 2011

Sangria and black with hints of light pink just to tie some things together.

FI wanted to be involved in colors too, so what i did was go onto a website with all the colors (a dress vendor I thought i'd use for BM dresses). He gave a a color group (blue- of course). I picked out 3 different blues i liked, he picked the one he liked out of those 3.

Sadly, that's how we "negotiate" all aspects...what movie to watch, where to go out to dinner, etc. It works well for us

We both get a choice and get what we want.

Our is Oasis (like a dark tourquise)

MMRoberts11 · October 2011

Cornflower blue and sage green.

Mrs0toBe · October 2011

Silver, black, and purple

Thumper1148 · October 2011

Green, white, and accents of gold.

rcj2rcd · October 2011

Dark champagne, ivory and antique gold

golemhm · October 2011

Shades of purple, grey and silver

lisa89760 · October 2011

black and white with purple accents (and by purple accents I mean very little purple) the BM's wore black and the GM's tuxes had no purple in it. My flower girls did wear purple...and the BM's bouquets had some purple in it. We had purple uplighting and the centerpieces had 1 tiny purple flower in it...the rest of them were white. I did put on my purple converses for the recpetion!

MeganMarie15 · October 2011

Navy and Orange! We are doing Gray Tux with Navy vest, girls will be in Navy! Orange will mostly be in flowers and maybe the centerpieces!

mrsbunyip · October 2011

Teal and Chartreuse (like a Kermit green). We're using a marigold color for an accent color and for most of the flowers.

Something like this:

FI chose our colors, but only because I didn't argue

I wanted him to have a say in SOMETHING (since he isn't really into the whole wedding planning thing), so I basically forced him to choose some colors, and he chose purple and gold. When I asked him why, he explained that his favorite pair of hockey socks when he was young were purple and gold. lol I'm going to soften it up with a white base, use various shades of purple, and gold accents.

emarston1 · October 2011

Green and White and then black was sort of an accent color.
