Color headache!!

[Deleted User][Deleted User]
in Chit Chat
I've recently become engaged (March 24th) and plan to wed in May 2013. I'm so excited and ready to start the planning but I am having the hardest time with colors!! I love pink, coral, seafoam, yellow and tan. I like green but he said "no" to green. I've looked at color wheels and many schemes but I don't know which will look the best. I don't want the wedding party to look like an Easter basket. I really like coral and tan...with a hint of seafoam or maybe yellow? Orange is pretty too! Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    I like coral and tan with accents of teal. I'm sure the ladies on here will have great suggestions for you.

    Coral looks really pretty with aqua more blue than green.

    You could go to Michael's craft store or Hobby Lobby and go to their ribbon section.  I had my color scheme in my mind so I bought a roll of ribbon in each color that I wanted.  I actually ended up eliminating 2 of the colors.  Now I cut pieces of the ribbon to carry in my purse so that when I'm out shopping if I see something in my colors I can pull it out to see if it matches.  

    I was driving myself crazy with color schemes!  But I'm very happy with what I chose, although it took me about 6 changes to get there....Good luck!!  Whatever you choose will be great!

    What I forgot to add is that when you take the ribbon home and get more of a feel for how your colors work together because you can look at them easily whenever you want!  I stared at them everytime I walked by the table I had them on.  This way you have them there and can look at them often and see if you really do like the colors together.  And if you have several colors you can mix and match and you may come up with something you hadn't even planned on! 

    OK, that's all I got!

    I love the idea of having the color ribbons in the purse!  Thanks Gina...I'm going to use this idea because I'm indecisive about my colors too!
