    Hi all,

    So...I'm having some serious issues trying to decide on and stick to a color scheme.  I literally have 7 different color palettes that I like very much!  I feel like I love a different one every other day!  Of course I have my favorites...fiancee is no help at all!  So I turn to the ladies (and gents) of the hive.  Let me tell you a little about our venue and the overall feel we're going for.  We're getting married in a beautiful grove of trees and our reception will be held in an octagonal barn that is on the National Registry of Historical Buildings...ahhhh lovely!  We'd going for vintagey rustic elegance.  Our ceremony will take place in mid September 2012, so somewhere between summer & fall.  I know that some of my inspiration boards are more suited to this theme than others...my particular favorites are the Lavender/Gold and Teal/Blue/Gold boards.  Any and all feedback is much appreciated!  I also made so that you can choose more than one.

    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry if the pics are ginormous!  I tried to resize them, I swear!

    P.S. the invite on the Teal/Blue/Gold board is my own design!  It still makes me squee! every time I see it!

    I love all of them!  My vote for a vintage-fall wedding would be the lavender/gold combo though.  So lovely.

    Oh wow - I LOVE the Teal/Blue/Gold one.  I feel like you could totally pull some yellow in there too and it would look right at home.

    Beautiful!

    I'm the wrong person to ask as colors were really difficult for me to pick since I like so many of them! Even when I was looking at your choices I kept thinking "Oooo...I like that, but I like that....that's nice too...."

    My first gut reaction was lavender and gold.

    You are like me! I change my mind about my color scheme EVERY day, honestly! I am such a fan of color combos so it's really hard for me. I think I've finally settled on having a couple main colors and using several other colors as accents, that all work together. It made me feel more relaxed to decide, "ok, I don't HAVE to only have X amount of colors in the entire wedding."

    I also think the colors have a way of coming together on their own, once you start choosing things like dresses, flowers... that's kind of where I'm at.

    I actually think it would be possible to combine the first two if you wanted. You could do blue, green, gold with touches of lavender.

    I like all of these, but if I had to choose I would say lavender & gold.

    Well...I think if we go with our outdoor venue choice it'll end up being the teal/gold/mustard...however, due to the fact that I'm not sure if I can get over my fear of what the weather is going to do on our day (Sept in Oregon, not so predictable!) we're looking at an indoor venue.  I just made a post about it, if anyone is interested go here

    Thanks again!

    I think you answered your own question if you love it go with the teal/blue/ gold.  I have been to way too many weddings with purple/lavender lately so I am kind of over that color combo. The the teal/blue/gold seems much more original.  I might change the gold to include yellows too so that you can use yellow flowers.

    I originally voted for mustard and gray because I think it is more vintage and a fall pallette. You can pull off vintage with almost any color combo though if you choose the right details and center pieces.

    I am so glad I am not going crazy! I change my mind about colors at least once a week. I am driving everyone around me insane. I wish one of my bridesmaids would hurry and get their dress in the "color of the week", then I think I will be more likely to stay with one color choice.

    Clearly I am not one to ask for color opinions, I love all the pics you posted. Since this is an old post have you chosen a color scheme? What did you pick?

    I love both the lavender/gold and the teal/gold   but the board you made for the lavender is just incredible, so I am more drawn to that scheme. But when you posted the blush/metallic board I fell in love, because those are so similar to my color scheme! You have such a great talent for making these boards!

    Ok... I am TOTALLY going through the same thing.. I am really confused on color schemes and I always thought I knew what I wanted untill now! Granted my wedding isn't untill next year in August but it would be less stress if I just had a little more direction...

    On that note- I love the lavender, and the teal :)

    So my overall favorite board is the pink/navy/taupe color scheme.... BUT with your vintagey look that you are going for, I voted for the lavender/gold and the teal/blue/gold ones.  I think my favorite for a vintage/rustic theme is the lavender & gold though.   All of those boards are beautiful... you are going to have a gorgeous wedding =)

    They're all beautiful. My favorite is the purple. Go with the colors you and your fiance love, not what other people prefer.
