Wedding Colors

[Deleted User] · October 2013

My wedding is September 2014 in San Diego. We are having our ceremony on a lawn at a country club and the reception to follow. I understand the colors are what we like, but to be honest I can't decide. So I am hoping I can get some input from you ladies on what to choose. I was originally thinking Pink and Orange, but then thought about Navy and yellow... But now I just don't know. Any help would be appreciated.

This is a picture of the room:

I think it's a personal preference. Me? I'd go with the blues.

What does your FI think? Both sound nice. Also love your venue!

Personally, I prefer the navy and yellow. Does your FI have an opinion?

Well he honestly wants me to pick whatever i would like. He really liked the navy and yellow because his favorite team is michigan and that their colors.

What's your favourite colour? What's his?

I would also choose colours, or at least shades, that coordinate with the season.

Navy/yellow and the pink/orange are quite different "styles", with the pink/orange being very bold. So depends on the style and feel you are going for. You could also stick with the pink and orange if you like those colours, but choose lighter shades.

Myself? I prefer the Navy and Yellow. Navy is one of my wedding colours, so I'm biased

To me, pink and orange seem like a summery combo. The navy sounds nice, but I'd nix the yellow. What about navy and orange?

jenn77b · October 2013

I think the navy and yellow are great summer colors...they are versatile depending on the shade of yellow.

I'd go with those, especially since your FI likes them, too.

Please ignore the whole "imageimage" thing...I was attaching some pics and it didn't work.

I'd go pink and orange. I don't care with navy with yellow - seem to nautical to me. I like navy and white - clean and classic. But it's all personal preference. I also think the ivory and brown accents in the room with go better with the pink/orange combo

GL!!

I am digging that pink and orange. I've never seen that before!

This is one of my favorite types of questions.

What about combining your two ideas and doing navy with shades of pink?

Beautiful venue btw!!!

Its your personal preference. Buy you think that Pink and Orange will be great, its good. Red also be nice.

RebeccaB88 · October 2013

When I was planning, I was going to go with navy, fuschia, and orange. As in, fuschia and orange flowers, navy for bm dresses, some linens (with white), and accents.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I am still a little torn on what to do. I really like the idea of mixing the two

I love pink and purple and he loves blues and greens. So we have a lot of options.

Here are some brainstorming starters for pink/green which might also be a good compromise:

There's also no rule that you have to pick two colors. Maybe do some blues and greens with highlights of a warm yellowy-orange, that will complement the room., which already seems to have some very warm tones.

The room in the pic you posted is gorgeous, but I think the tables and chairs look TERRIBLE there, because they don't go at all.

SP29 · October 2013

You could do Blue/pink, Blue/Purple, Green/pink and Green/purple. Mix your two favs.

Haha! I agree about the tables/ chairs... We are renting Chiavari chairs, thank goodness I work for a party rental company

Thank you for your feedback
