Military Wedding colors not red or blue

Allison, on February 22, 2017 at 11:27 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 15

I'm marrying a Marine and he wants to wear his dress blues. I don't want my colors to be red or blue because that's what everyone else does. I've always wanted a dark shade of purple but it doesn't look good with his uniform. Any ideas?

    I think neutral tones would make his uniform pop.

    I would say blush pink or coral. You could probably do a sea foam green. I know you said no red, but a deep red might be pretty and wouldn't quite so patriotic if you had pink flowers or something.

    I don't think his color suit needs to be on the decor. FH is wearing grey suit and our colors are coral, ivory and gold. As long as the blue complements your colors, I wouldn't worry about getting anything else blue.

    Fh is also a Marine (yut, semper fi). He's wearing his uniform by choice and our colors are navy blue and orange. Never thought I would have orange as a wedding color but we loved the combo after seeing photos.

    Google the color you envision with "marine/usmc wedding." Your might be surprised how well purple may go with his uniform. I think it could work.

    I think it'd be beautiful with a champagne color.

    Purple, silver, & have all the groomsmen wear black and bridesmaids wear purple? I think it will look great all together!

    I'm with @Erika. I don't think it matters with dress blues. I don't even notice the other colors when I see pictures of weddings where dress blues are worn.
