I think you can do whatever makes you the most happy. Depending on the green, I think it would look nice.
I agree with IA_Snowflake... Either choice will work out really well. Test them out and pick your favorite.

Do whatever you want... Its your wedding after all... not your mom's.
I think any of those colors could work great for a winter wedding...

My wedding is in the middle of November. I am allergic to pastel colors, typical fall colors, and pumpkins/gourds/squashes so like you I prefer bright colors. Neither the wedding coordinator nor the florist nor anyone else who we've worked with has tried to talk us out of bright colors. Our bouquets will be red, purple, orange, and fuschia with green accents. The dresses are navy. If it makes you happy, that's what is most important.
I think you should choose whatever colors you want, regardless of the season. I had a December wedding last year, and had Navy, White and Kelly Green as my colors. I never thought it necessary to coordinate with the holidays; it was just what I wanted. And Fusica and Green are just a variation of Christmas colors, so you can use that as your argument.
My friend had charcole grey and orange for her january wedding and while it was very fall, it didn't feel out of place. Go for what makes you happy.
Wow! My wedding will be on 12/05/09 also. My color will be turquoise, light pink, lime green, and ivory. None of those are winter colors..haha..who cares..as long as you're happy, doesn't matter what pple think...
What about burgundy and gold? They are great colors especially if you plan to do your wedding near Christmas and they're very elegant. You could have gold napkins and gold-rimmed plates with white peonies against red berries as centerpieces.

I don't know if I'd necessarily want to go with black because black in my culture is a sign of bad luck when you wear it to a wedding. I also think that in addition to the centerpiece added above, I would stick candles around it so that at night, it would be gorgeous.
I also saw this Winter Special on HGTV and thought Vern Yip's centerpieces were amazing. He had squares filled with berries and branches of berries and roses on top. Not only is it cheap but elegant. Unfortunately, the picture doesn't even do justice to what was seen on tv. Vern Yip is AMAZING at making anything that's ordinary extraordinary.

I think brown, burgundy, and gold would be great together as a winter combination. You could have the tablecloth as a chocolate brown, the silverware or wedding favors as gold, followed by the flowers in the color above.
I don't think it's spring-y at all, especially because you've paired it with black! I love the scheme, keep it up!

Out of the choices you put I'd say definitely the black with bright colors (I'm thinking gem tones, vibrant violet, emerald green, indigo blue, etc). The pink and green is a little spring for me (when I see the colors together, I think Lilly Pulitzer). Black and white could be super elegant, but it seems you want splashes of color.
I am in the same boat, was originally going to do a Winter Wonderland decor until I fell in love with black and white damask. I am doing black and white with green accents. I think the nice thing about black is that it's timeless...it doesn't matter what season it is! I say go for any of the accent colors you mentioned and it should be a very elegant color scheme.
how about red and green
or white, white, white
or white and blue
bottomline, you have to do what makes you happy
I think black and any bold color would look awesome for a winter wedding --- black, white, and kelly green always look chic, IMHO.
Like others before me have said, Do what makes you happy!!!! My mother initially HATED my color scheme (green and brown). I believe the term "moldy" came out of her mouth. LOL But I stuck by it and as the details formed, the colors have "grown" (haha, pun intended) on her. Seriously, if you love them, the people around you will learn to love them too!!!

Hi! So I am torn on my wedding colors! I'm getting married December 5th, so it is an early "winter wedding". I'm not a huge fan of the christmas theme wedding, even though I love the decorations. I'm having black bridesmaid dresses. I initially wanted to have accents of fuschia in the flowers and shoes. Then I switched to a bunch of bright colors, such as fuschia, orange, yellow, green and purple, but with fushcia being the dominant color. Now, I want to do fuschia and green. Is that too summer/springy? My mom thinks it is, but I'm so stuck on having those colors. Even though it is December, it shouldn't be too cold. I'm in NJ and early Dec is usually not that bad. What does everyone think?
black w/pink & green OR
black with bright colors OR
black with white flowers ??
