Wedding Wednesday - Choosing a Color Scheme

Wedding colors! Who doesn't have a vision in their mind for what they want their wedding colors to be?!  I remember seeing a wedding party where the bridesmaids were wearing coral dresses and the guys were wearing khaki suits and fell in love with the look! Based on that inspiration pinks, corals are some of my favorites and neutrals and grays also make the top of the list.  Yep - that's a lot of colors but I think there is a way that they can all be used.

The colors a bride chooses are primarily used as bridesmaid dresses and complimented with flowers and table decorations so take  into consideration how and where you will use your colors when making a decision - it's kind of like decorating a room...

Here is a look at the color schemes I am trying to decide between!

You have probably seen these color schemes (and dress combinations) all over the internet so they look "over-done."  At least that is what I thought until my sister asked me, "Have you ever been to a wedding with that color scheme?"  The answer was "no." Lesson learned!  Before you make a decision, think about the weddings you've been to recently to recall if anyone has done anything similar to what your considering. Even if they have done something similar, who cares!  It's your big day! :)

One more thing, if picking out a color scheme is somewhat difficult for you I recommend two things to try:

1. Go to Style Me Pretty and look up bridesmaids.  They give you color schemes!  Once I make a decision my bridesmaids will get a copy of the color scheme from this website to choose their dresses.

2. Try out the Sherwin Williams "Chip-It" tool.  It's easy to use and pulls up a color scheme from a photo.  I use it often for my design boards.

I need your help!  Which do you like better - They greys or neutrals with pink & coral flowers or the pinks and corals with green flowers?  Leave a comment and let me know!
