    It seems this summer I have been stuck in a fushia cloud, lol.  I would say 80% of my brides lately have been either fushia/black, fushia/orange or fushia/kiwi or apple green.  So share your color combo.  I am needing to create more samples of monogram tags and the orders I have done or due out are in the above colors.  LOL, I want other colors to play with.  Last summer it was pool blue.  Also noticed that last year ivory was hot, this year it is back to white.  I am in the south.  So share please!!!  Color my world

    thanks, keep them coming...really like the idea of the aqua/apple

    starfish theme..that is so different.  I saw where they had taken grapevine balls and put starfish, moss and stuff in them and hung as part of reception decor.  Can't remember if it was online or in mag.  I do most of my bridal appointments at Barnes and Nobles over coffee, books and magazines.  It helps the bride relax, I get to see personality and we have tons of pictures to look at.  So it was probably a magazine I saw that picture in

    The only scheme we've been able to agree on so far is blue, green, and yellow. It may change, but who knows.

    wow, a rainbow of colors....none of the fushia?  LOL.  You all have given me some color themes to work with for sure.  I just wish I could get the local brides unstuck from the fushia rut.  I think part of it is this is a college town with a huge AKA (think that is right) sorority.  Our college colors are red/black/white and I actually see more hot pink tshirts with the college logo on it.  LOL.  Anyway, would love to read more and will start working some of these colors themes into my etsy store so maybe I can "spread the rainbow". 

     

    By the way....love the pink and pistachio wraps with the gray dresses.  It pulls everything together beautifully.

    I am getting married next june and our colors are golds, natural greens, browns, and pops of purples. I knew I didn't want to pick one gold, one green, ect like so many weddings I've been to. Our "theme" is natural/earthy as we are having an outdoor wedding at this pretty lodge in a forest clearing.

    I'm on the Apple Green bandwagon... paired with Sweet Cream Ivory and Espresso Brown. Uh... yeah, we like food. LOL I am also thinking about throwing in some turquoise. Though what food-description I could give it, I don't know.

    Our colors are navy & green (probably a more yellowish green than kelly). We'll likely do something with stripes or polka dots as an accent.

    Our colors are eggplant, lavender, and lime green (not super bright, think the actual color of the outside of a lime). We'll be incorporating other colors - pale pink, cantaloupe, maybe some others - in the flowers to soften it up.

    As far as advice with fuschia, a favorite combo of mine is fuschia and steel grey. There was recently a wedding on Style Me Pretty that make it look so fresh and sophisticated. Maybe encourage some of your brides to trade out orange or kiwi green for grey or silver and use the other bright color as an accent?

    August wedding: Navy blue, kelly green and yellow. We're going for a fresh feeling, not too preppy or nautical (since that wouldn't make sense in double-landlocked NE ^_^).
