    So since getting engaged two months ago and picking a venue, my wedding planning hasn't really progressed any further. This is mainly because I was having the most difficult time picking colours. I know for sure that I want gold and cream in the wedding, but I was torn between saffron, violet and coral for the third colour to give things a nice pop. I asked FI his opinion and it turns out that he wants blue or green. I really hate green, so blue is my only option as I have to respect that this is his wedding too. So now I am thinking turquoise, gold and cream with a very elegant vibe. Dies anyone have any pictures or anything tha they can post to inspire me? Thanks!

    I don't have pictures, but I instantly thought turquoise or teal, too.  I really think saffron or coral could still be a minor accent, since your first 2 are really neutrals, especially on the florals.

    Oooh, yes great thinking. I could have teal or turquoise (I actually kind of love teal more) and still accent with saffron but have touches of gold and cream. Genius! Good I love WB!

    I was thinking the same with incorporating his color along with one of your others (saffron or coral) as a minor accent. That's be pretty!

    Not the best pic, but hey it's the colors lol

    Ooo. If you chose a lighter shade and maybe a little pink, I could see a very french, Marie Antoinette thing going on.
