I love navy blue and fushia... a splash of apple green would be a sweet scheme, I think!

I agree with a number of posters that the blue should be a much darker navy, then I think you'll get the preppy look you're going for~ Can't wait to see the final product!

I completely agre with Meowkers. Very cute. Navy will also make the little bits of pink and green you do have pop a lot.

Elle took the words right out of my mouth.  Make the blue darker - navy.  that should be your base color. pink and line green should be the accent colors.  I can totally see the cross-grain ribbon, seer sucker and headbands in this vision.  very preppy. and very J. Crew.

I have to be honest.  I think you're amazingly talented but my preference for colors right now would be (using two of  your 3) an apple-y green and a paler pink.  Again, think Lily Pulitzer and Southern Proper ties (preppy IS BAAACK! Thank u Lord!) I'd have a pink and green polka dot bellyband around the invite also!  Something like this color scheme: (I heart Lily P!) Now look at the color scheme on the right of this page..from one of Lily's designers:  <a href="http://www.lillypulitzer.com/page/collectionsinfo">http://www.lillypulitzer.com/page/collectionsinfo</a> I think that's a fabulous and very happy-looking colorscheme.  You could use white linens with the pops of color with flowers and trim.  VERY easy to pull this one off!  Even differing shades of pink.

Just to let you know...I feel your pain.  I really liked my invitations, they were bright and had more color, which suited us well. Then my mom made a comment that they looked more like birthday party invitations, and weren't elegant at all, which hurt a lot.  So I panicked and felt like I had to change them and make them look more traditional...but in the end, I am happy to leave them the way they are.  It isn't a big deal, and i like the color.  Its hard to let others opinions go, but if you like the colors (which look really nice together), go with it!

My two cents:  Don't ask people what they think.  If they would pick what you would pick and what others would pick then all weddings would be the same.  Someone will always have a different opinion.  When they see all the elements of your wedding pulled together in the end, they will see how lovely it all is, but when I've asked someone their opinion on a small detail....I've gotten it!   Now when it comes to making style decisions for our wedding, I don't ask anyone.  (Except my FI :))

Keep in mind that HEX and RGB colors are really for "display" only- meaning that they are for computer screens, basically.  You might have better luck going through a pantone swatch book or browsing CMYK colors swatches. I think the colors are very pretty! What inspired you to choose these colors? If you wanted to soften it, you can add white to the mix, or perhaps lighten one of the tones a bit to give the colors more contrast in the depth of saturation.  I personally prefered the lime green a bit because I think the introduction of the warm yellow to the cool green evened out the tones a bit and will give you some leeway if you want to incorporate any ivory or other offwhite, warm white tones into your wedding.  If you aren't married (pardon the pun!) to the blue, a nice dark brown would work well with those colors instead of the blue.

Thanks everyone for the awesome advice you girls are great! Thanks eggman9091 for the site. With that site I was able to find the colors I loved and the HEX number and the RGB number which allowed me to be able to recreate them! Without further a do here is our new improved colors. I am going to go look for paper tomarrow to match!
