OK, first of all, red is not just a winter color!!! And your colors aren't tacky, and are def. appropriate for a wedding! Who is "everyone" that you refer to that says this??
Who care what other people think? If you love what youre planning, then do it. It's your wedding. Its what fits your personality and relationship, then its right. I think that a country picnic wedding could be an adorable, casual event.
I think that red, yellow and white will be fine. When I think summer picnics, I think red gingham tablecloths and 4th of july. lol.
I think it will be way cute! It's a great theme for a summer wedding :o)
Honey, do what you want to do! I love the fact that you are incoporating things that are important to you as a couple in your wedding, roll with it.
You can totally rock a summery country chic wedding w/o so much of the fall inspiration, esp since white & yellow are two of your colors, these are very bright & "summery."
There is sooo much you could do! You could use mason jars & serve lemonade in them. For centerpeices use the jars again and put white daisies in them & wrap with a little red ribbon. If you wanted to have a chic picnic you could use red & white checkered table cloths or napkins. The choices are endless!

I think it's a great theme for a summer wedding, also. You should totally go with that theme and those colors because it seems like you really want to. It doesn't matter what other people think. As long as you and your FI are happy. Definitely go with what you want!
I think red is a perfect summer color.. everything is decorated red, white, and blue for the 4th anyways :)
And who doesn't think of red checked tableclothes when you picture a summer picnic?
I think your colors and theme are perfect for June.
Red is a "winter" color? What?!?! Who said that? They're crazy. What about red and white gingham? That was totally made for the summer! :) Don't listen to them.
Seriously, it sounds awesome. I'd just do it. I think it sounds terrific - it's what we originally wanted, but couldn't find a venue to support.
I think it sounds cute too! Red, yellow, and white are perfect colors. I know for a while people were really confused about my theme and they couldn't see my vision, so I made an inspiration board to show them how it would work and so they could get the overall feeling of the wedding. Maybe you could make an inspiration board for yourself to show the people who are doubting you (or just to help yourself in the planning process).
I wanted to share a few other picnic inspired weddings that have yellows, whites, & red. These are a little more summer then fall too :)

I think Red like, a deeper red, is more winter. But #1 who really cares in general and #2 I get the sense you are using a more warm, vibrant, almost tomato-y red.
It sounds DELIGHTFUL to me and I say you just plug your ears and go "la la la' when people are RUDE and give you unsolicited advice about your colors!
aww thanks everyone for the encouragement!! I feel 100 times better about the whole thing. Plus when everyone gets there and sees it I just know they will have fun. Making an inspiration board is a great idea- one question though- how do I do it? I'm a computer dunce, hence I can't even to that responding thing where its directed at the person who posted the idea (thanks Jacqi). I can find a ton of pictures that represent my vision but is there a website or something that shows you how to make an inspiration board out of them?
kmark- when I made mine I just used powerpoint as my main tool. I'd copy and paste pictures from the internet into a blank powerpoint slide. Then you can use the picture toolbar to crop the pictures and rezise them. Then just drag them around the screen to be where you want them to be. I filled up the whole slide as my board. Mine didn't turn out hightech or anything close to professional, but it works for me. There might be a better way, but I just stuck with what I knew and used powerpoint.
I think it's great, ignore the naysayers. One of my bridesmaids had a red-and-white wedding in August and it looked brilliant.
You'll have such fun with your palette as well. Are you going to mix it up and have some orange in there too?

My FI and I have been talking about a country chic wedding reception- mason jar centerpieces with daisies, picnic type food like watermelon for dessert, potato salad, and cornbread, and gingham tablecloths. We have gotten a lot of inspiration from Mrs. Cherry Pie, whose wedding was classy and country at the same time (although we are in CT, so not actually in the country) and also Mrs. Cowboy Boot, whose wedding pictures are GORGEOUS. Both had fall weddings though- September and October. The colors I want are red, yellow, and white. We are getting married in June on a Sunday afternoon and everyone keeps telling me that red is a winter color, that its a tacky theme that isn't appropriate for a wedding, etc. Now I am all worried- my FI and I like the idea, my parents don't care as long as I am happy and its within our budget, and we haven't really discussed it with his parents yet (they live out of town and we and we want to go discuss wedding details in person soon). We are two simple people who hate dressing up and being "fancy" and we want to just have a good time with family and friends. We are a huge fan of family picnics and country music and I am a horseback rider, so its not as if the theme won't have personal touches that mean something to us, its not picked out of thin air. Also, it won't be terribly over the top, just a few touches here and there and a more casual vibe. Is this an inappropriate theme/color palette for a June wedding? If so, what would you suggest we change to make it more summery/appropriate?
