    ME!!!!  Our wedding is in the fall, so we are doing "fall-ish colours", so not only do we have a colour combination that isn't "in" anymore....we are also very "un-original"!!!!

    I dunno if my combo isn't "in", but everyone keeps telling me they are too "dark" and "wintery" for my summer wedding.

    Poo on them, my colors are pretty.

    I think our colors are pretty classic (crimson and dark gunmetal grey), but they're certainly not "trendy" by any means.  However, I'm finding more often that the feel of our wedding is really "out".  We're aiming for a chic, modern feel and all I see is rustic and vintage everywhere!  Not to say that isn't gorgeous also; we're just not the type.

    Oneeleven    April 7, 1992   Ontario, Canada, Getting married in the Mayan Riviera

    I'm doing 60% pure white with 30% Navy and about 10% red.

    I was trying to find a colour palette example but all I could find was amercian flags Frown

    So I dont' know if this was ever in style.

    The only red is going to be my FI's red jacket on his uniform with a couple of springs of red in my flowers, bouquet and in my Pomanders.

    The chair sashes are going to be white

    The pomanders white with some navy and the red flowers dotted throughout

    Place mats, card stock of everything else (table seating, etc. everthing) will be plain white with some pops of navy.

    Sorry for babbling so much.

    I didn't even know color combos were "in" or "out." Though I guess that makes sense. I love brown and pink together, though! Ours are black, silver, and just a dash of light pink. We do have a theme though. . .

    @Miss Smurf: One of my good friends is also having "fall" colors. haha.

    @cazian: I know what you mean about all the rustic and vintage weddings.

    I'm doing fuchsia! If I need another color (which I don't) then it would be chocolate brown. I'm not into trends so I don't care. Brown is my favorite color and pink is his favorite for a girl. So that's how it worked out.

    I doubt my theme was ever "in!"  I'm doing guava and hunter green with splashes of golden yellow and sage green.  Very retro.

    I feel unfashionable because we don't have yellow, orange, grey or lime in our colour scheme!

    Ours is cornflower blue and various shades of purple. Because they're my favourite colours!

    I just did shades of purple, i started out wanting only lavender, but couldnt get some things, and found i like dark and light purple together.  and then i threw in white and silver when necessary (ie. BM bouquets were white with their lavender dresses). 

    my "theme" was beach, but not everything was beach themed, just when i found cute beachy things. i also love hearts, so i had some heart stuff too.  so ya, i was all over the place and my wedding was everything i wanted and then some!

    Haha... I didn't even pay attention to what was in or out, but our colors are pewter gray, hot pink and marigold yellow. I've met confusion because gray "is a neutral" and vendors keep thinking my colors are hot pink and marigold with gray as an accent (no... yellow's the accent). Also, gray and yellow are in, like, every photo I see. Our theme - vintage modern - may not be "out," but I keep hearing it's "overdone," and I've seen my wedding dress on three other girls so far (twice in board photos, once on the street as a couple got wedding photos done). Also, we're doing cupcakes, which I also keep hearing are "overdone."

    And you know what? I don't care, because we're going to get married, people will have a blast, and everything will be super pretty :)

    Is anyone else doing a colour combo that isn't in anymore? :  wedding Wedding One

    The green 1920's paint trim was everywhere at our Arts and Crafts reception hall. I decided to incorporate it into our scheme rather than fight it. My colors were in no way trendy but I didn't care as I was trying to avoid the corporate wedding stuff anyway. I used seafoam green, maize yellow, and a peachy pink persimmon.

    My color combo is eggplant and charcoal gray, with a splash of bright yellow.

    I'm assuming my two main colors were never in, because it seems impossible to find anything in these shades.

    I love my colors but would have probably reconsidered if I'd fully realized how hard it would be to find them!

    We're having a fall themed wedding and going with all of the normal fall colors (burnt orange, chocolate brown, plum, gold, etc...). I highly doubt it's considered "in" but I don't give shit. 

    Frankly, I like weddings that don't look like everyone elses. The more unique the colors, the more I'll probably like it.

    We're getting married at the beginning of September and our colors are B&W, couple different shades of pinks, and a little hint of silver.

    Not really September colors, but I dont really care ;)
