Wedding Forum - Colour themes...

We're having a look at themes for the wedding. We was thinking of having chocolate and blue at the colour theme but having doubts whether these are uitable colours for a wedding. and not sure if they would go with a summer wedding.

has anyone else had these colours to put my mind at ease

Stop thinking about the time of year and go with what you like the look of. If you like the colours have them. It is your wedding after all!

I personally think that choc and duck egg blue/turquoise look amazing together.

Sounds lovely!
Look:-

Great choice hun x

I've got aqua, ivory and gold and the one thing I would say is that sourcing the right shade of turquoise/aqua/duck egg is a nightmare so make sure that you source everything first before you go buying things. I got there in the end with the help of a dress maker but it isn't easy. Then again you can say that with most colours.

No, we're having royal blue and gold, at the mo! Keep changing our minds lol!
I couldn't picture the colours so I had a look! x

originally i did just want blue but my sister had blue so though about having chocolate and blue. only think that puts me off from having brown (chocolate) is whether the groom ends up wearing a brown suit or whether he could still wear black

My h2b is having navy suits and they look lush in them. It really goes with the aqua but then we are not having the chocolate. I guess it depends on what balance you want of each colour but my friend recently got married and the men were in chocolate suits and I have to admit they looked amazing.

I'm sure you are not useless. The other way you could do it is to deliberalty mix up the tones of the two colours. That can work just as well.

I think choclate a blue go lovely!
I am getting married next summer so Ive also choose blue
cornfloer blue o be exact and kinda a blue and white theme Iam having a white dress and using cornflowers and daisys for my wedding
trying to run daisys threw out whole as in on invites on tables etc

I love the chocolate and blue colour scheme!! I'm going for the same as Glitterfairy..... Violet, Lilac and Creamy Ivory tones xxx

I think I decided I'm changing my colour scheme last night to include blue too! For months we've been having cadbury purple, but I know deep down H2B wanted a light/turquoise blue (Man City blue - he is a big fan!) and last night it just hit me that we could probably have both! I'd still stick with the idea of purple bridesmaid dresses but incorporate blue in other areas like H2B's tie (but keeping the other men in purple), flowers and then alternate the chair covers etc. I did a bit of a mood board today with the colours and I think it looks ok! I even spotted some cheap ribbons today in the exact colours so I bought them to show H2B when he gets in from work! I'm quite excited about the idea of a new colour, I just hope it works!

i think the chocolate and blue colours go lovely together!! :)
LOFTY..were having cadbury's purple and white! but i love the idea of mixing it up with blue :) xx

Glitterfairy- we have the same colours xx

yes my next door neighbour had that colour scheme at her wedding and it was stunning ;) t

didnt think brown would be a good colour but wow looks great esp with the blue. lovely combo!!!

sister did blue and silver together and it was nice i originally wanted purple and silver had to get away from the silver theme cos she had it!!!

think ive a few shades of purple there for the day just hope it doesnt look silly!!!!!

I'll bump some threads for you Melissa :)

Aww thank you Sarah, I will take a look now, much appreciated :) x

Brilliant idea for the invites, thank you. I did say to h2b about setting free some butterflies (instead of the normal setting doves free!) he didn't really answer me, just gave me a strange look! lol. but I think its a great idea.
Have thought about getting some sugar butterflies for the cake decoration, yet to see if I can get them in ivory and teal colour yet but sure it wont be too much of a problem!! x
