What colors/themes are you using for your wedding? Is there a reason behind choosing these colors/theme? How are you incorporating your colors/theme into your wedding?
My colors are Navy Blue and White. Those are my FH’s two fave colors combined.
We are incorporating a lighthouse theme into our wedding. We book got into lighthouses and have been to 4 already together and look forward to going to a lot more together.
My girls will be wearing Navy Blue, I will wear white. Im thinking of carrying dark blue flowers while the carry white. We ordered our invites and favors this weekend. The invites are white with a navy blue border and writing and will have a lighthouse watermark behind our names. Our favors are lighthouse tealights and matches with a lighthouse on it as well as our names and date. Everything with be Navy Blue and White, bw the toule wrapping, ribbons and the matchbooks.
I look forward to reading what cool things you ladies are doing!

We originally really wanted to have our wedding at a vineyard, but it was too expensive/time consuming to do from OOT so we settled on having a vineyard theme.
Our colors will be wine/champagne, we are incorporating wine corks and bottles into the placecards, and table settings, and I believe will be doing a bottle of wine with chocolates as favors.
I also found some photos of the cake havign like grapes on it which I thought was cool but we probably won't do, and I LOVED the idea of the cake being set out on a wine barrel but FH hated the idea thought it wouldn't fit the location so I'm giving up on that one :(

Very nice! I love lighthouses too, and the beach/water in general.
At first I was going to do a beachy theme, but then I kind of got away from that bc sometimes it can be overkill with too many options - starfish, sand dollars etc.
I would say my color 'theme' is black and white damask/swirls and fuschia accents. My invites will be black and white with fuschia, as will my table numbers, escort cards, save the dates, and various other touches like napkins etc. My flowers are all brights - fuschia, purple, green, orange. The girls will carry a nice mixture while I carry all shades of Pink and Fuschia. Can't wait until it comes to life!

First, You are very welcome. Second, Awesome question
Third, FH and I would have wanted a winter (more of a winter wedding) We HATE SWEATING more than anything!! And EKK my hair will last better during the colder weather. FH wanted blue but I didnt want blue at all. I gave him two print out of inspiration boards. One being my color scheme :sangria and light pink and two being navy blue with light pink. He choose Sangria and I love him more for doing so LOL
I am wearing Ivory and my BoK will be dark sangria-ish color. BMs BoK will be lighter pink with some yellows and oranges.
Centerpieces will be the same as the BMs BoK, maybe so more yellows and oranges. (pictures below)
My cake will have rhiestones and sangria ribbon around to tie and fresh flowers to tie in all my colors.
i liked purple .. fh said NO .. hah he doesnt want to have his grooms men wear purple meanwhile he just wore TEAL .. what ever .. he wanted blue so were doing a blue and yellow .. not sure how were doing it my girls may wear blue dresses and carry boq of yellow flowers ... or i might see what kinda dresses can have a sash or ribbon etc and color that yellow .. havent gone shopping yet but thats what i have in mind

I PURPLE!
THAT WAS MY REASON FOR CHOOISNG IT AS 'OUR COLORS'!
FH SAID HE DIDN'T WANT AN ALL PURPLE WEDDING SO WE'RE INCORPORATING SPLASHES OF COLOR HERE AND THERE, WHETHER IT BE IN FLOWERS/INVITATIONSBRIDESMAID DRESSES/FLOWER GIRL DRESSES.
I DON'T THINK THE PURPLE WILL BE OVERWHELMING BUT YOU WILL SEE IT THROUGH OUT THE WEDDING!
THE OVERALL THEME OF MY WEDDING IS CHIC & ELEGANT!

I am going with Hot Pink, Blue, Lime Green accents and accents of purple or lavender. Pink is my favorite color and blue is FH's favorite color. Not sure exactly how that is all going to come together but we're thinking of making it an enchanted garden theme.

The colors are Jade, Ivory and Silver. I am incooperating the ivory from my dress and ivory flowers for both girls and boys the Jade will be the dresses and vests and ties and silver will be in the girls shoes and the ribboions that go around the flowers. I chose these colors because i am getting married in Feb and did not want a Valentines day wedding i wanted a winter wonderland themed wedding.

Michelle, I LOVE the centerpiece idea in those old pitchers. Also love the idea of incorporating tomato's! I saved the picture for my own reference
Our colors are going to be purple (for me) and orange (for FH). I haven't really figured out how exactly I'm going to incorporate these different colors, but i know they will definitely be in the flowers, bridesmaid dress, and linens.
As far as the 'theme' goes, I don't know if I really have one. I want a very romantic and elegant atmosphere. I call it an intimate dinner party. So I want lots of candle light on the tables and mantle in the room.

My colors are cobalt, sage and fuschia. My general theme is 'Wishes' as in the firework show at Magic Kingdom in Disney World. The idea is the cobalt is the sky and the accent colors (fuschia and sage) are the fireworks.
The BM dresses are cobalt and the girls will be holding green hydrangeas or pink peonies and wearing fuschia shoes. The guys will be wearing sage green ties.
The centerpieces for CH and reception bring in these colors and I plan on using 1 or 2 of the colors in the invitations.

Our main colors are Blue and Orange since we are bringing out love for the Mets into the wedding. I am being very careful to not have it feel too much like welcome to Citifield so we are also bringing in bright pink and pright yellow as well!

I'm doing black BM dresses.
My RH room has gold and purple in the carpet, so I'm thinking of doing purples... Not 100% sure yet
I'm not doing a 'theme' but I know I want a romantic elegant atmosphere that night.

Bright purple, pink and BLING!
I was having so much trouble deciding on and sticking with colors, but when I thought of this, I couldn't get it out of my head.
The bling will be on the cake topper, on my dress,the cake, and in all the little DIY touches im doing.

Our colors are brown and most likely pink and orange...we are trying to go with a somewhat tropical theme - we want tropical flowers since we got engaged in Hawaii and everything was very tropical!
