When someone announces they are getting married the first question usually is what are your colors. Everyone one wants to use their favorite colors! I certainly did for my wedding.
We used lavender. We had it mixed in my bouquet, it was the color of the maid of honors dress, the napkins at the reception were lavender and the table flowers were also mixed with lavender. Just enough, not over kill.
I recently witnessed a wedding were the colors were pink. To me its a dreaded color, especially in the wrong shade. For this wedding it was just enough. The places you found pink were just the right amount. The bride had a small pink 'belt' that was long enough to hang down the back on top of her white dress. Everyone had pink in their flowers of course. All the groomsmen had pink shirts with black ties and pants, they pulled if off very well. The bridesmaids were in black dresses with a thick pink belt similar to the bride. It was a perfect pink, it wasnt that pepto-bismol color. The bride also had pink shoes but you couldnt see it until she walked and the peaked out of the dress. At the reception there were pink banners around the backs of the chairs.
I felt it was just the perfect amount of pink for this wedding. Not to much to over kill the color. Now I also witnessed a wedding were we felt it was like the color just everywhere and it just overkill, you know the weddings Im talking about. Where everyone wore that color and it was on everything! It was 'green' and it wasnt bad at the ceremony, green was found with the grooms shirts, but the brides flowers were carnations dipped in green, it was kind of tacky. At the reception green was everywhere! It in the lighting, on the decorations of the table, the tableware, the tablecloth, the chairs, it was just way too much green for me.
When planning your wedding there is no need to make everything that color. Make it elegant and highlight important items with that color.
