    hi everyone im really torn between wedding colours and me and my h2b just cannot decide, would like some ideas on your fave one.
    first up we have navy and pink, then we decided black and silver but this is quite common now days, we then also thought about purple and ivory aaarrrrggghh there are so many to choose from any suggestions welcome.

    You're having a summer wedding so I'd suggest bright/light colours so out of the options you put up I'd say purple (more lilac) and ivory or navy with pink (light blush pink)

    Black is quite popular and common nowadays, I think it's a bit dark for summer and also, being Chinese we don't like black at weddings.

    I like the sound of navy & pink. Purple & ivory and black & white are very popular these days.

    I'm having mauve but its turning into more lilac tbh.

    I think teal is really nice and goes really well with sunflowers for bouquets etc, if I could do mine again that is what I would have chosen.x

    I went to a wedding where the colour scheme was black and silver with the bridesmaids and one or two things were pink. All the stationery was black and silver so we had no idea about the pink until we got there but it looked lovely x

    I helped my daughter in law arrange their wedding last year the adult bridesmaids wore mignight blue I made the smaller ones taking the midnight blue and ivory from the bride - the flowers were a mix of ivory very small amount of blue and fushia pink - the men wore blue cravats and ivory and pink flower button holes - I did fish bowls for the table of small cala lily round the edge with a fushia pink butterfly the otherside and a blue lily thing in the middle the bottom contained blue cyrstals oh and grass stuff inside for colour these were placed on mirrors with LED lights in blue it was stunning the lights caught the bowl and the mirror. Midnight blue is a very sophisticated colour.

    This year Im getting married and we are having a pumpkin theme bridesmaids have ended up in fushia pink and flowers will be pink and orange gerberas

    Try and imagine what the wedding photos will look like

    Hi, have you or h2b got a favourite colour? We're having charcoal grey and baby pink because they are our fav colours. Otherwise, I think navy blue and pink would look lovely. I've seen quite a few BM dresses in navy too, cx.

    We having royal blue... we were thinking purple but finding thats quite popular too.... also thought of sage green and pink...but my bmaids are not super slim so didnt know whether it would look right. but no matter what colour i thought i wanted i always went back to royal blue...
    its weird...same as the dress..... you know when its the right colour :)

    Mrs Miller.... ours match our 1st venue too :) got royal blue & silver chairs for guest to sit on during the ceronmy :) & there without chair covers. & im pretty sure its similar to our 2nd venue

    I love peacock colours, of purple and teal together :P looks fab, however purple was the colour choice of both mine, and H2B's first weddings, so we decided to steer well clear of anything similar, so opted for more of a romantic summery vintage feel of light sage and dusky light pink, it looks stunning IMO xxx

    I really want teal (but then there are so many different shades of it!!) with dusky pink (for the flowers etc) however I am going to get the BM dresses and then base the colour scheme on whatever shade of blue/teal they end up being.

    Without all the waffle... blue/teal and pink are my colours.

    pink and navy all the way i think its something different to purple and ivory and black and silver (i'm purple and ivory and its really popular at the moment and i wish i had picked another colour but its too late now)
