    Hello!! I am getting married in september 2010. I originally wanted to do  pink and brown as my wedding colors. Now that i have seen some set-ups i think it may look a "bit" kiddish. Our venue is very upscale with marble walls and floors. I want to make sure the decor fits with it. I am now thinking of doing a chocolate brown and champagne color scheme. The flowres will be moreivopry and i may possible add some light pinks with that. Please let me know what you think will work better. If there are any brides who have done either and you have pictures ot share please help! I have no purchased anything with either color, so it wont make a difference but i know i need to get going. If you would like to email me that would be great as well. carolynnfontaine@yahoo.com

     

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    I would do mostly brown/champagne with maybe just a few touches of pink. :)

    I like the brown and pink but I love pink. I can see how you would think it might be a little too "kiddish" but I think that if you used pink as more of an accent color, then it wouldn't be kiddish at all. I like the idea of brown and champagne with pink accents.

    What about champagne and pink?  I think that would look really upscale and fancy.  I love the bouquet you posted.

    I'm also going to agree with corgitales, some touches of pink would be really pretty.

    I agree with corgitales too! Why not have all three? Brown, Champagne and Pink all work well with each other.

    I think brown & champagne would be a lot more elegant... it got my vote :)

    I don't think the brown & pink scheme is childish-- but it is the #1 color palette for baby showers. Maybe thats why you feel that way?

    I happen to despise pink.  HOWEVER, all personal feelings aside, IMHO I think the brown and champagne is timeless and elegant, while the brown and pink is a very "now" color combo.  also it might not tie with the venue and CAN appear too fad-ish.  you could do brown, champagne, and touches of PALE (pale beng key) pink like other have suggested, to keep it with the venues style and keep it timeless

    maybe it is the baby shower thing thats throwing me off haha. I think im going to do mainly brown/champ witht he touches of pale pink. The pink is mainly going to be in the flowers and in the candy bar. Soo nothing too "childish" i think.
