Over my “off” week, I did a lot of extra errands that I hadn’t gotten to lately, including picking up paint chips of our wedding colors. I plan on creating coordination packages with the colors and some of our favorite textures for our wedding party to use as they purchase dresses, suits, and accessories. Here are our colors!
Look familiar? I totally involved the same scheme in the main charmedseed.net website, because I love them so much! I’ve been having a love affair with grey and teal/robin’s egg/turquoise blue for the last several years, and I love the modern but vintage effect it can have on an event.
The blue-green and grey will be the two main colors (although really it’s just the grey), and we additionally chose a deep chocolate brown accent and at the last moment added a navy as well. The navy was Nick’s addition, as it’s one of his favorite colors, and it makes a nice compliment to the warmer grey and chocolate. All these colors together offer us a nice opportunity to choose accessories, flowers, décor, and clothing. My dress will be an off-white, but Nick is looking at grey suits for himself and the groomsmen. I initially went after grey dresses for my maids, but recently found a SUPER cute blue-green dress that I’ve ordered to look at. Surprise!
Because I deal with color so much as an artist and seamstress, this was a sort of difficult choice! There are so many beautiful combinations for wedding colors, so many choices and options of how to express them. Navy and sunshine yellow were also a contender! I’m delighted with the subtle result we ended up with, and I can’t wait to keep decorating in this scheme!
How did you choose your wedding colors?
I ADORE these colors! You're amazing!! This is going to look so good! I LOVE IT!!!
