Design issues, nothing is matching my Jade DB dresses

The New Sarah · January 2012

I will try to make this short. My David's Bridal Jade coloured bridesmaids dresses are throwing my entire design for a loop. (picture below is the colour but not the style). They are SOOO hard to colour match for other design items in my wedding. I am trying to design my own invitations but can't find a picture or colour to match the DB dresses. My theme is nature and tradition. For instance, the men are wearing scottish kilts, the centerpieces are shown below (I am adding jade coloured stones and white votive candles), we are getting married outside by a lake under trees and my cake will look something like the one below with a jade coloured ribbon. My original idea was designing a tree invitation but don't know how to incorporate the jade colour and lilac purple colours of my wedding. I added two designs below that I like. Any design suggestions, images you have seen, anything would be super helpful. I am driving myself nuts with this. Thanks ladies,

Instead of matching, try coordinating. Jade goes well with white, royal blue, royal purple, lavender, grey, gold... Your whole wedding doesn't have to be jade.

Peacock feathers have lots of colours that go well with jade.

What colour are your flowers going to be? You can't have jade flowers, so you could pull colours from your flowers into other aspects of the wedding.

If you really want a jade invitation, maybe don't do the tree as your invitation pattern, and go with something more abstract as the pattern on it. Or a peacock feather.

For colour palletes, I love this web site http://www.theperfectpalette.com/p/colors.html

If you need a jade ribbon for your cake, go to Mokuba on Queen West. All they sell is ribbons. It's worth a visit just to drool.

I really love the idea of having a peacock blue to the invites... Lots of people have three colours or even more now, with one or two dominating and two as accents. Using a palette site you can find another colour to match, or perhaps the text could be in the jade colour on cream or white?

I concur w/ PPs - co-ordinate with other shades of green or other colours. Honestly, no one's really going to notice but you. And there are so many other pretty colours out there. Jade can be your accent colour.

Thanks ladies for all your help! I am going with a more symbol design for the invitations instead of the tree. Thanks for the websites, I have browsed and come up with some ideas for colour. Also, my flowers are mostly white with green and purple accents. I will post my invite once its complete.

Yay! Good luck! I'm sure it'll look wonderful.
