a summer wedding color combo?

#1 (**permalink**) 10-30-2008, 01:03 AM

I'm getting married in June. My fiance and I are trying to come up with colors and we both really like coral, but we're not sure what color to use with it...and yes, we want two colors!

We also like red and pool blue...

what do you think?

If you're going to choose a color such as coral, your other color needs to be somewhat neutral so that it doesn't look like a major clashing.

Coral is a bit of a harsh color for a wedding, but that being said, if you love it then go for it. I would recommend a honeydew shade of green - the green will stabilize the color scheme so it's not too overpowering.

I always liked coral and brown. I wanted it for my wedding. One suggestion I would give you is go shopping for the bridesmaids dresses before picking a color and find the dresses you like then pick a color that the dresses come in. I couldn't find any coral dresses, so we had to pick a dress the girls all liked and looked good in and then pick the color that it came in.

I found this for you. I love the idea of coral and a pastel purple. Or well all of these have coral in them.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

How about 3 colors? Red, pool, and coral would be gorgeous together!

I made you a set so you can see what I mean. If you put your bridesmaids in pool and groomsmen in black or gray tuxes with pool vests and ties, and use coral and red in your flowers, and maybe even hang swags of coral and red fabric, and use bowls of blue tinted water with white floating candles (or any glass containers; they don;t have to all match), it would be just beautiful!

A warm coral and a really rich cream look fantastic together. I am talking about more of a gold-ish cream.
Red and pool blue with coral? Eh...personally, I don't think it will go well together. BUT, it's your wedding!

You can always have coral as your main color and then use the blue or red as an accent, such as in your cloth napkins or lighting.
