Weddingbee boards

For the longest time I figured my wedding would be jewel toned purple (aubergine) and golden yellow (marigold); hence my username.  Now im having second thoughts that this will look too LA Lakerish.  I was thinking maybe doing Aubergine and Emerald.  My e-ring is an emerald and it might be cute to incorporate that color as well.  Here is a gratuitous ring shot cause yes I am that wack and shameless I will post that sucka everywhere: 

Anyways....what so y'all think?  The only thing with the purple and emerald is it might look too peacock-ish? Im not sure.  I DO NOT want a peacock themed wedding at all.  As you can tell I like bright bold colors so no lavender or sage green or lime or anything like that.

@HoneyBear: Gracias pretty lady.  What are your colors?

@mwitter80: awww man, so what do I do?  Emerald and yellow?  lol

@HoneyBear:  this is why we are weddingbee besties (ok maybe only in my head, haha).  I love those boards!

Your colors are perfect for a beach wedding! Love them!

@HoneyBear: I love these boards!

Re: reminding people of Mardi Gras, I think this combo of aubergine and a green that I would say is more 'apple' than 'emerald' is less Mardi Gras than than aubergine and emerald. But also remember that as long as you're not giving out beads or wearing feathery masks, no one will mention Mardi Gras. :)

I prefer the combo with apple green myself, because it gives a bit of variety in the tone - it's not dark-dark, it is dark-light. That's totally a personal preference though.

I really love this palette.

@ddubbz- That is really gorgeous, but it does kind of just a little make me think Lakers, even with as beautiful as it is. We are really sports people though.

@Aubergold:I like the colors but you could consider different shades. I like the purplee and yellow best. But not dark purple and dark yellow. I'm thinking yellow that matches yellow roses and eggplant. Maybe you can add some accents of white to soften it. Your weddding is in May and your colors will look great. You can avoid the Laker look by choosing the perfect shade.

You ladies are the best!  It looks like purple/emerald is winning out.  Bumping for the Saturday crowd.

Purple & green.  Yellow & purple not so much, but when you said gold...that sounded a lot better.  I never even thought "Lakers".  I LOVE emeralds -they are my birthstone!

Thanks guys!  One more bump for the weekday crowd!

I'm doing purple and green myself, with cream and chocolate accents.  The cream is to break up the dark colors, and the chocolate is because my venue has bark everywhere, so I'm choosing to embrace it.  (It's very rustic).  I think aubergine and emerald would look great, just use an editing eye (as Tim Gunn would say) to make sure it doesn't become too much.  If an arrangement or outfit is looking too dark or peacock-ish, you can add another more neutral color to break it up a little.  Can't wait to see what you come up with!

I think the shades of the colors you use would determine if it looked Laker-ish or Mardi Gras-ish. 

Aubergine is really a dark purple, not the color I'd associate with the Lakers or Mardi Gras.  I think aubergine would go well with an emerald green, or any shade of green, really.  If you include all three colors,  you will totally avoid the Laker-ish feel.  Or you can use a more more metallic gold color for accents.
