I am in the beginning stages of planning our June 2009 wedding, and am going to try to get as much as possible done this summer (I know, its a bit early... but I'm a teacher and summer is the best time to get stuff done!).
I've gone through oodles of color combinations already, but am trying to nail down a decision so that I can get on things sooner than later. A few months ago, I decided I really liked navy & apple green as a combo. The only problem is I can't seem to find too much "wedding stuff" in those colors! (Pictures for inspiration..etc.) Does anyone have any idea where I can find images or items in these colors? I realize that many things can be customized, but I'm on a budget and need some ideas to get me started.
If you happen to come across anything, please pass the word along. :)
I'm doing a navy & green wedding! The BM dresses are navy, the outside linens are green, the inside linens are navy, and the stationery is all green with a border of navy and navy lettering.
I thought I was being unique when choosing these colors, but I am amazed at how many navy and green (but not necessarily together) photos/inspriation etc. are out there. When I went to look at our bridesmaid dresses for the first time, which are navy with green sashes, the other bride there at the time had even chosen the same colors! so, if you can be patient, I guarantee that at the end of this summer, there will be even more inspiration out there with all of this year's navy & green brides. good luck!
This is my tentative color combination too! Only instead of a bright apple or lime green I'm headed towards a more herb/sage green. I'm not far enough along to have any pictures yet, but the boards already posted as well as these two have been inspiring to me.
My main area of concern right now is the flowers. I'm feeling a lot of pressure to add in either pink or yellow as an accent, and I might do it, just not sure. Good luck! Keep us updated if you would!

I'm a navy blue and kelly green bride! I had difficulty too and posted about this same topic about a month ago in case you want to do a search and see what some of the girls recommended for me.
I know that Snippet and Ink has a inspiration board that has navy blue and green in it (I think its #56)
I decided to use a semi burnt orange as my accent color. My girls are wearing navy blue seersucker dresses and carrying green hydrangea and then my maid of honor has some orange gerber daisies included in her bouquet for a pop of color. Just a few touches of the orange to brighten it up.
i don't have much inspriation except to say that i was VERY torn between navy/green and navy/pink. I think in my heart, I liked navy/green the best but ended up going with navy/pink (mainly for flowers). Good luck... beautiful color scheme... you're off to a great start :)
We are doing a nautical themed wedding with navy & green with red, lighter blue, sand and purple as accents. ErinSea provided you with the links that I was going to send you but I will look tonight to see if I have a few more for you.
Navy blue and celery green bride here! I don't have an inspiration board, but I thought I'd share my save-the-date and invitation. We're going with a peacock/art deco theme.
The BMs are wearing navy blue dresses and carrying bouquets of kermit mums, fuji mums and cymbidum orchids (GM's bouts are orchids too). The linens are navy with celery green napkins and centerpeices of the above flowers with peacock feathers. Hope that helps!

I pretty much based it around that tie.
