Wedding Colors

So I've pretty much decided that I want either navy or midnight blue BM & MOH dresses, and my FH wants sunflowers as the main flower. Not a problem, but I want another color in there somehow. I was supposed to be in a wedding a year ago (it was postponed) and the colors were cornflower blue and sunshine yellow. I don't want my friend thinking I'm trying to steal her colors (lol), but so far I just have the darker blue and yellow. I'm looking to put another color in, I'm just not sure what.

As of right now, the BMs are carrying sunflowers, the MOH is carrying sunflowers and I'd like something else, and I want sunflowers and either white dahlias, peonies, or ranunculus with something else (which will end up in the flowers for MOH). I'm hoping that if I can find a color it will help pick the flower or if I can find a flower it will help influence the color.

I know this was long (sorry!), but does anyone have any suggestions? It's going to be an October wedding!

I'm doing cobalt blue and hot pink, coral and yellow flowers...I love the pop of color bouquets.... for yours I think the orange/yellow would look great, esp in October!

Re: Wedding Colors

I would suggest white as you seem to be leaning towards white flowers. Otherwise, maybe try a charcoal grey. If you don't want your friend to feel you are using the same colors, maybe make the yellow or blue only an accent (like only yellow for the flowers and maybe ribbon on your bouquet and programs)

I am doing navy BM dresses. My flowers are going to be all white. My friend did navy and had yellow cala lillies. I loved the sharp contrast. Not sure if I would go with a third color besides white honestly.

Re: Wedding Colors

Im doing navy purple silver. Not sure how that would go with sunflowers. How about gold?

Re: Wedding Colors

Navy blue, yellow and grayish/silver, more gray though. Looks gorgeous. For flowers they have this berry looking think that is silvery and would look great with the navy.

Re: Wedding Colors

I've got a bunch of ideas, but if you are anything like me, I changed my mind like 30 times in the past 3 months about what flowers I wanted and I work at a florist, lol. If you are not booking your florist yet, wait a little bit and look at pics online with girls with blue dress and what they are holding and see if it helps at all.
