Wedding colors...teal or turquoise?

I'm having a wedding in the month of June. We are having a DIY wedding because of our unquie theme. I'm the crafty one so naturally I'm making almost everything. However, we are still debating wedding colors!

We were orignally thinking turquoise but now I like teal as well for the main color. We are a bit at odds about the secondary and accent colors. 

Our wedding is going to be causal. 

I would like to pick colors that will make it easier for me to get craft items in our colors. I do have some turquoise items but what would go with turquoise for a summer wedding? Yellow and green? I'm so confused.

Re: Wedding colors...teal or turquoise?

  • Some people will use both teal and turquoise to emphasize the blue.  I like coral to play off the turqoise.  Pink, yellow, and pale green all look good.  
  • I'm probably using turquoise with a chocolate brown and a little bit of ivory, maybe some light sage-y green. But you should also think about your venue. What colors would look best in your venue? 

    But for a very summery, almost tropical color palette, I like Magdala's coral suggestion. 
  • Thank you for your wonderful suggestions! 

    Thanks to you ladies we picked two colors; turquoise for the main color and pink for secondary. We love the way they looked together verses teal and pink. And I did love the raspberry but it seemed too dark for what we had in mind. 

    We just have to pick an accent color and I can start on my DIY projects. lol 

    Any ideas for what would look good with turquoise and pink?

     I was thinking a pearl white but we aren't 100% sold on the idea. My future mother in law suggested lavender but we are iffy on that as well. We want a nice light or netural color to mellow the feel out and give it a nice light soft feel to the wedding.

    We are doing turquoise and coral. They go great together!
  • I did teal, orange and green, but used a light turquoise overlay with green/pink orchids for my centerpieces.
