Not having wedding colors

Venusian, on May 6, 2015 at 5:20 PM Posted in Style and Décor 1 21

Anyone else not having set 'wedding colors'?

I am just picking whatever goes together but I keep having others ask what my colors are.

    I've never heard of someone doing that. But if it works go for it! I have set colors.

    I'm having set wedding colours, but honestly I don't think it's necessary. Whatever you want!

    I have no wedding colors. I don't have anything to pick that seems..... color dependent. I mean, I'm picking flowers and.... uh.... ya, flowers.

    Yup. i am totally against "wedding colors" and hate when people would ask. I think it looks so 90s and tacky. I always picture bright blue bridesmaids dresses that match the table cloths. or a scene from The Wedding Singer. I eventually had to give it and tell people colors so to make the conversation easier. My goal was to have a cohesive beautiful wedding. with every decision I would picture how it would fit in with my larger vision. I had champagne bridesmaid dresses, white, green and peach flowers. Peach table cloths. gold chargers and center pieces. I'm still in love with how it all looked.

    I am 100% with Mrs. Temme.

    Things don't have to match, they just have to "go".

    But I personally really hate when theres one or two colors on everything, and its the exact same shad. It's a little template-y and 90s for me.

    No colors here either. Orange and purple flowers. Cake is off white and decorated with chocolate covered strawberries. FH wearing dark blue. My dog (flower girl) will probably carry a lime green frisbee as she is failing with the flowers.

    I have a "color" that inspired the general palette... Eggplant. However, there are also lavender, sage and ivory elements. My bouquet is mostly dark purple and my bridesmaids dresses are the same, but the rest is a mishmash within that sort of a palette.

    I have several colors, it's not like I'm matching my girls dresses to the tablecloths or anything but I am staying with brown, burnt orange, deep red, plum with hints of green, ivory and gold....Typical NJ fall colors that you would find amongst the trees.

    If you are against having "colors", what color dresses are your bridesmaids wearing (what color ties for the groomsmen, etc)? I think you can have colors without it going overboard (similar to having a theme for your wedding. The colors or theme can be subtle and just enough to pull everything together).

    I'm not having colours, but we are having a really general palette (neutrals and soft colours) so that it all "goes"

    I technically have colors, but I'm not doing it in a matchy way. My friend didn't do colors at all for her wedding and it turned out beautiful. She had us in blush dresses, and the flowers were dark red roses, and the centerpieces were baby's breath. It all just worked.

    @JulieR oh wow, that sounds so strikingly gorgeous. And @OP, it's hard for me to answer this question too. Whenever I get it I take a deep breath and dive in....We're having a medley of fall colors with a base of forest green and ivory and an emphasis on a general cranberry palette. Plus other fall accents including crimson, plum, burnt orange, dusty blue, etc. (Practically speaking, for example, that means a backdrop of muted greens and ivories, plus my ivory dress, with my bridesmaids wearing dresses in different shades of crimson, and all the bouquets and bouts blending together the greens, ivories, and cranberries with more splashes of fall colors/flowers as well. And obviously a lot of other aspects of the wedding play into this as well.)

    We're probably not going with colours. Neutrals with an injection of yellow but without really worrying about shades..

    We don't have colors because, like @Katy, we have no bridal party. We just have the flowers which are all different vibrant summer colors. Everything else is pretty neutral. Although FH did pick a soft orange linen tie Smiley smile

    Thanks all. Now I don't feel like I'm the only one! We don't have a wedding party either but I don't think we would have wedding colors even if we did. I want everything to be cohesive but I'm not into the matchy look.

    We don't have "wedding colors"... okay we kind of do and they're olive green and raspberry... But I found this on Pinterest and it's been inspiring me (color wise, not stylistically)

    We have our "official" colors as navy blue and gray, but those are basically only for the bridal party. All our decor is going to be very neutral, ivory and gray and silver.

    Yea you are fine! You do whatever you like for your day! I am not so much doing colors either, more so just rustic theme. My girls will wear champagne and a lot of the decor is neutral colors.
