Weddingbee boards

I'm kind of curious how bees chose their wedding colors?

I was SO indecisive, mostly because I am such a fan of color. It's not that I (we) settled, but our colors kind of got determined by the invitations and FH saying "Just pick colors!!!!". We're doing orange and fuchsia with hints of lime/spring green. Not terribly original, but I think the colors will look great at the venue and give a fun-vibe.

I knew blue was going to be the color, its my husband favorite.  (we are having a VR) and our colors will still be blue.  Dark Blue, light blue, yellow and ivory...

the first time around i was rather blase about the whole wedding thing, not much but blue, blahhh this time though there will be great variety, here is a photo of all the diy flowers i have done to give you a better idea...  the little dark flower in the front is made out of a magazine pages...  these will go on the trees of my venue to add something, but not take away from natural surroundings of it... :) 

I looked for DAYS online at all kinds of different colors. I knew I didn't want black and white or ANY sort of pink/peach color scheme at all. I narrowed it down to two different sets of colors that I liked, and then showed them to SO and he helped me choose from there. We decided on a candy apple and aqua color scheme. I've seen it with Tiffany Blue, but I don't like that, so we're going with a darker version.

@DaiquiriS: Uh-oh!!! FH and I are Kings fans! Our teams are tied right now!

So many pretty color combos!

I basically decided on orange, brown, yellow and red, you know, typical fall colours.

I told my Bridesman, who crinkled up his nose and said .... what about silver instead of brown? BRILLIANT. I just ran with it.

So now I have orange, silver and pewter - my updated inspiration board with stuff we're actually using so far in the wedding:

we have decided on peacock colors, if that makes any sense.

@KristenGotMarried:That's a really cool print!

My FI only preference was that we did not use pink so i chose my fav colors purple and silver. The colors did have an effect on the venue we chose since there were a few venues we liked that had way too much gold which did not go with my vision and i was not willing to change colors. So if you have your heart set on a place, chose colors that will coordinate.

I've always wanted to do black and white for the pure simplicity of it as well as the classic look.  I chose to have an accent color of purple to coordinate with my flowers, which will be similar to these:

I also wanted to chose black dresses for my girls since I have 2 bridesmaid dresses in my colset collecting dust!  They get to pick whatever style dress they like so they can wear it again to another event rather than pay for a dress they wear once!  HATE MY BRIDESMAID DRESSES! LOL!

I was in between several colors. I knew I would need something to match blue Ball jars, since I wanted them as vases, but other than that, I was open. 

I threw around the idea of light blue/aqua, peach/coral, royal blue, deep midnight blue.... all sorts of colors that I really liked myself and were inspired by in my own clothing around the time I had to pick colors. 

But this is seriously what happened: I refused to pick colors until I found my dress. I picked a dress with a champagne accent, and sort of nixed the darker blues. At the bridal salon, I showed the owner a picture in a magazine of some flowers that I liked- Peach Juliet roses, like the ones Mrs. Cowboy Boot had in her bouquet. 

Store owner comes back with a dress sample in the right fabric, and the color (Dreamsicle, a very pale coral) was pretty with my dress and would work with the flowers I was eyeing. 

Done deal. 

I'm still struggling with my colors. I knew I wanted purple, because I love purple, and I just decided to add things to that. I also like jewel tones as opposed to bight colors.

Originally, I liked something kind of simple, deep purple, black and ivory.

Then I saw inspriation for a room on a decor blog that was a dusty purple, golden yellow and black and I fell in love with it. I'm pretty sure that's what we're going to stick with...
