i have two boards up and desparate for help! my venue is very green and grassy. with elm trees everywhere. im having a vintage chic theme with our main colors as shades of brown, tan, creme...ya know. i wanted to have peach and cranberry accents..but now im questioning it! pink and brown are pretty together but its not for me. i dont want that! what other colors are beautiful with a brown wedding?!? any good suggestions!?!
I think peach and cranberry would lovely, but you could also try shades of purple from lavender to deep plum, turquoise, shades of green other than grass, Tiffany blue, coral, maybe even yellow.
yea i love peach and cranberry or maybe rasberry. but i just want to make sure they work with brown. i love green shades too. and coral! they are very good ideas.
our colors were green, brown and gold. I love every color with brown though...and if you said you already had a lot of green at the venue, you should go for more plum colors in my opinion. sometimes, if the cranberry is too red, the red and green may look festive, and in photos the colors can come out a little off and it might look red as well. but purples would look fantastic, as well as peach/orange shades....and if you use peach you can go with rust/copper/gold colors which I also love! But they also look good with purples!
Honestly, because you're colors are so neutral, you could pair them with just about any color you want. All of the above suggestions sound great and would work, but it's probably not narrowing it down enough for you. I suggest you find a panetone color pallette to pair up your colors and see what they look like in person. Find a swatch, or paint chips in your main colors, and then pair it up with other colors to see how you feel about them. You'd be surprised at the colors that actually look good and compliment one another once you see them in person.
wow thanks everyone! these are all really great ideas! im stuck on the peach and cranberry...or rasberry just because i saw i lovely board on www.stylemepretty.com with those color flowers and it was beautiful! but im just afraid what it will look like against brown. i have nothing against a pink and brown wedding...but its not for me! and i dont want it to look like pink and brown are my colors. my dress looks great with brown which the bridesmaids will be wearing. and the guys will be wearing tan. so im trying to thinking of flowers the girls could carry that dont have just pink so it doesnt look like a pink and brown wedding! any ideas for that!? i do love the idea about the purple too by the way! thanks everyone!

posted by andrea143 41 posts 2 months agoPeach and cranberry would look good. Blue and brown is really popular right now too.
Go here and it should show you a bunch of boards with brown and other colors in the themes. Maybe you can get an idea from it.
Tastefully Entertaining

Shades of green work really well, too. I'm using a lot of bronze (which is pretty much brown
) and emerald green and I'm loving it!
posted by DCbrideinATL 77 posts 2 months agoI think the pink colours would be lovely! With brown and green I think you really need another color that will pop.
I agree that shades of purple would work as well. I personally would not go with yellow or blue as the additional colour.
