    Just for fun, what's a fancy name for these wedding colors? :  wedding Colors1

    A friend of mine wants to use these colors for her wedding, which I love, but she says when she tells people she's using peach, they may think of some 80's craziness, and when she said pink, they may think of bubble gum pink. I'm thinking rose might be a good way to say pink, but I'm not sure what to substitute for the peach. Just for fun, what fancy, sophistocated, wedding worthy names would you give these colors?

    Oooo you could say cream and antique rose.  It makes it sound sophisticated.  :-)  Or at least in my mind it does.  :-D

    Oh I love all of these ideas! Thanks ladies! I'm so excited to pass them on. She says the names are all that's keeping her from comitting to the colors :-P

    Augh--sorry I missed the blurb below the picture and the response below was going by the thread title. Still, I think it'd be hilarious if people asked her for her colors and she said, "Veranda Light" and "Steel Water" or something, a la Julia Roberts in "Steel Magnolias:" "Blush and Bashful, people! Blush and Bashful!"

    -------------

    Like naming interior paints?

    "Veranda Light"

    "Iced-Pink Lemonade"

    "First Blush"

    "Vintage Rosé"

    ...There's a reason why I didn't go into "color naming" as a career :)

    Pretty inspiration board, though!

    I like vintage rose, but I'm not sure I'd make the connection to that peach/pink. 

    I'd probably go with ballet pink or dusty rose to describe that color.
