wedding colors

rmjones99 · May 2013

Ok. I am having a very hard time picking my second wedding color. I know that I am definitely using cobalt blue (it is my favorite color and my fiance looks amazing in it) But I am having a very hard time picking a color to go with it. The two choices I have narrowed it down to are lime green or canary yellow. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below are some samples of the colors. Let me know which combination you like best.

Both colors are very pretty, but I am drawn more towards the bright yellow. How fun!

Personally I prefer the lime green.

I prefer the green, but probably because that was one of my colors. I also think it's just a little bit "softer" than the bright yellow.

I think the green would be easiest and a bit more subtle. (Green is naturally occuring in the stems/leaves of flowers, anyways)

Too many "crayon" colors to me starts looking like a kid's birthday party after awhile. :-)

I think the canary would end up with a very nautical look. (Like this: http://www.theperfectpalette.com/2010/07/seaside-wedding-palette-of-blue-yellow.html). If you prefer that, go with it. If, like me, you're not into that style, I'd say go with the lime green, which feels a lot more spring-y/summer-y and natural.

I love the green. You could use leaves and garlands to really bring out that color, too. That would be awesome.

The blue + yellow reminds me of Marquette University (being a Milwaukee girl). Not that that's a bad thing.

We had a blue and yellow color scheme for our wedding, but it was more of a cornflower blue and a softer yellow. For your shade of blue, I think the green would look nice.

I like the green with the blue! Yellow is pretty with Blue too so you really cannot go wrong, but the green caught my eye. And with that bright of blue, the green softens it, while the yellow just makes it brighter

One of my friends did the blue and yellow, and it was very pretty,but my vote is for the green!

oh, I like the yellow! But I know someone who used these colors and it was beautiful! Just use the yellow sparingly. She used it to just to pop and the blue was more of the focus.

I like the green but if you use the yellow I would just use a softer yellow rather than a really bright yellow.

QueerFemme · May 2013

I think the reason I don't really care for the yellow, is it reminds of IKEA with that blue.

heathertims · May 2013

i agree with weirdbebe, go with a softer yellow if you want yellow. If not, that green is fun!

Thanks for helping me put my finger on it! It totally reminds me of Best Buy!

Go with green definitely. You have one bright color and a softer color to offset it. I would maybe do silver accents too good luck

I love the green with it, but my favorite theme is cobalt blue and white (almost nautical looking) with pops of hot pink.

KellyVarellas26 · May 2013

I think it will look beautiful with the lime green. Both are great colors though. Good luck!

I like the lime green. The yellow is IMO a little strong, but a softer yellow would also be beautiful in your scheme.

d2va · May 2013

I like the lime green, but why cant you have all three? Main focus, blue, second, green and just a teeensy tiny bit in yellow?

Also, I would suggest a lighter yellow as I think it should be more subtle!
