Dark colors in a summer wedding

Brooke , on May 21, 2016 at 11:51 AM Posted in Style and Décor 0 30

My fiance and i are getting married in July 2017. When I started wedding planning I knew I wanted to incorporate purple somehow -- it's one of my favorite colors.i decided to go with a plum color with a warm gray and blush/peach and gold accents. No one said anything until recently. Now everyone is telling me the dark plum won't look good bc it's a summer wedding and that I should do a lighter purple ibstead. I was thinking the 2nd plum color from the right in the.picture. what do ya'll think?

    It's fine. Wedding colors do not have to match a particular "season".

    Who cares what anyone else thinks? If that's what you want, do it! Smiley smile not being rude but it's your wedding and it's just a bunch of unwritten rules you shouldn't pay attention to!

    I'm going to a wedding in July and the BMs are all wearing plum. I don't think you really need to worry about colors and seasons.

    I'm doing plum & gold for an August wedding. It's what we wanted. And we are NOT pastel people.

    Do it! Those colors are very pretty.

    I've seen plenty of black dresses at summer beach weddings and didn't think anything of it.

    We have dark and light purple. It never even crossed my mind that a color wasn't "in season." ETA-this is the chart we used to select colors. We went with fig and coneflower.

    I was told the same thing but I decided to go with plum anyway! I figured I should incorporate my favorite color and not feel pressured to change it due to the season.

    I wouldn't even notice.. I'd just think it would the bride and grooms favorite colors.

    Do what you want! I was in a July wedding and we all had black dresses. I would just suggest short dresses not long because it will get hot.

    I'm having an April wedding and on the flip side, we are not doing pastels. We also like plum, with canary yellow to brighten it up. But- yea....it's your wedding. A color is a color. It doesn't lend itself to a particular time of year.
