Well friends, eight months later, I finally have an answer to your question: Our wedding colors are blush, apricot, cream and champagne. This color palette has had a bit of an evolution. It began featuring navy blue and peach. But I didn’t like the mock-up of our table that was created for the menu tasting back in May. So I turned to my most trusted ally, Martha Stewart, for advice. In her Summer issue she says that using a monochromatic color palette evokes romance. New York City designer, Matthew Robbins, is featured in the article, “Roses Revisited”. He says, “Focus on soft apricot, peach, blush, cream and ivory tones. The bright, bold roses tend to conjure up a less dreamy, more casual look and feel.” Bingo! We kept the blue, but look for it on the bridesmaids and groomsmen, rather than in the centerpieces.

Of course, I had another ally in this endeavor. My friend Clare is taking an HTML class, and her professor told her about this site, ColourLovers.com. It’s a site where designers can create color palettes and pattern and the non-design crowd, like myself, is invited to search for inspiration. Here’s a little something I threw together. If I only had a color printer, I’d be able to bring it along to all my vendor meetings!

And here’s some inspiration from the pros:



Now it’s my turn to ask the question! Readers, what are your wedding colors? How quickly did you decide? And who’s opinion did you trust?

Perfect for a spring wedding!
after MANY changes, i have settled on plum,light blue and grey; it takes both of our favorite colors (though Ive lightened his blue) and makes it clean and crisp with the grey
Plum, light blue and gray. I LOVE those colors!
I feel better that I'm not the only one who struggled with colors. It took me awhile! I'm having a winter white wedding with whites, creams & champagne. But the bridesmaids are wearing purple because I love it & I didn't want them in white, cream or champagne :-)
I would have NO IDEA!!!
