I need help with colors

Jillian, on January 31, 2016 at 6:08 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 16

I'm clueless about colors. We just got the BM dresses for my girls yesterday and they are "portobello" (Davids Bridal color). They're greyish but have a hint of purple shimmer. I also made my invitations before getting the dresses because I had coupons that were going to expire lol so the invitations are navy blue and peach. I'm not sure if the invitations are supposed to match my wedding colors. I don't really care I guess. But I have no idea what color flowers to get for their bouquets, what colors the guys should wear, or what color linens to get. It's a summer wedding so I want some color, but not too bright. Help??

    What colors do you and FH like? You could look up that color on Pinterest. They have a lot of color options to look at. That's how FH and I decided on ours.

    Btw I love your invitations!

    I tried to find the color portobello on pinterest but am only getting swatches of it, which isn't really helping. He doesn't really seem to care what color he wears.

    Thanks!

    Call me crazy but I think that blue looks good with the color of the dress...then maybe do white flowers to lighten it up a little? I'm not good at mixing colors either..

    The dusty blue of your invites works really well with the portobello color. I would also say you can mix some darker purples in the bouqets. This palette I found online is really pretty. They're all kind of like jewel tones but more subtle and dusty.

    I would call that a dusty purple, like dusty lavender or something? Maybe you could use that in your search. I think your invitation colors could fit into your wedding colors since they look dusty as well, or you could use totally different colors. You could have a few dusty shades/tints and one bright color (or shade of the same color, such as dusty purple and bright purple). Here are some examples (sorry they're one at a time!):

    Oooooh Michelle I like that one a lot! Thanks so much!

    It's hard because the dress looks more grey in person, but depending on the light it has a lot of purple/lilac to it.
