    I just had an ephipany! I was planning on having a royal blue and lemon yellow wedding. But it didnt hit me till today to add lime green. Wat do you ladies think about that? Here's a link to what it would look like with the blue and green.

    @lindseyl06:  I'm so not unique. I'm having black and white with red flowers. Just wanted it to be simple, yet elegant.

    I'm not sure how creative this is, but I'm using peacock feathers as my inspiration, so I'm doing teal, green, and brown!

    Thats very pretty!!! Trust, I would have went that route only if FI liked red.... (sigh). Growing up I had always imagined my wedding colors would have red in it. But Im trying to embrace the challenge!

    @jymdrw:  Teal would be my 3rd choice if they dont have the colors Im searching for at  our all inclusive venue. We will see next weekend. I dont know if you've picked out your wedding shoes yet but I saw some VERY cute teal colored shoes online at justfab.com! I want them for myself! They were out of stock in the royal blue color.

    You all are going to think we are crazy hicks from the hollar, but we are doing a rustic, outdoorsy wedding!  Our colors are ivory, orange and camoflauge (Mossy Oak Breakup to be exact).  Instead of bouquets me and my girls are wearing wrist corsages of HANDMADE fabric flowers in our colors with ostrich and turkey feather accents!  I know it all sounds crazy, but it's very classy, unique, beautiful, and MOST importantly, US!

    My wedding colors are red and silver. Don't know how unique that is but I always see red and black or red and white so I figure it's a little different.

     

    I pick the colors based on my first engagement ring:

    I'm also having feather bouquets, boutinerres, and centerpieces instead of flowers.

    @lindseyl06:  That was my original color scheme, but then I changed it to royal blue and pink. I chose pink because I loved the look of pink roses in my bouquet.

    @AirForceWife78:  Those were the colors I almost picked, except white instead of ivory. Some days, I almost wish I had picked them.

    That being said, we're doing black, white, and purple, with peacock feathers.

    I love all the color ideas!

    We're doing ivory and moss green with dark purple accents. Trying to stay rustic/woodsy.

    We're doing neon - nothing matchy matchy, but we're having an 80s theme and all the dresses/accessories/decor will be super bright neons, with our main accent as highlighter/tennis ball yellow-green. Yay!

    I love your colors.  I think lime green is so super vibrant and fun.  Plus I keep reading that wedding colors should be in 3 so it sounds to me like you've got is down.  My plan is regal purple and deep red (but still red not like brugundy).  I am thinking about adding gold accents to it.

    I did orange and silver and by the end of it, lace/white had also snuck in there. It was fresh and modern and so so pretty.

    We did shades of blue, green, and purple :) The bridesmaid dress colors were officially called jade with a pistachio sash and the MOH was in eggplant with a jade sash.  However, I realized that it's hard to find exactly shades of teal/jade/turquoise etc... So I incorporated varying shades of all of my colors :) Here's a pic of the ring bearers, where you can see some of our colors:
