wedding dress color wheel

freakinhot
My fiance and I are in a dilemma choosing colors. We don't want to do purple or pink or anything that's done to death. we want something different, yet classy. The ceremony is at 5.30 in the evening followed by a reception in the night.
Answer
On my color wheel starting where purple leaves off, starts with navy blue,teal blue, royal blue, turquoise, aqua,emerald green an olive green, lime, yellow, a matte gold, apricot, peach to a very deep coral before the pinks start. There is also the burgundy and the reds.
So, starting with navy would be silver, grey and white.
Teal I would go with a deep coral and apricot for something different. The pinks do so well with t he blues, but I either like to go with the entire pink family or the coral/peach family.
Same colors with royal or either the silver and aqua work well to gether.
The turquoise is to me, just too summery, but a new combo out is the turquoise with the aqua, but again, just me, this is not a wintery look. And turquoise and chocolate brown have been done to death completely. Then the emerald green which with red is too Christmasy, with coral and peach is good and also, very elegant with the emerald are gold and cream. Love this one.
The balance from the sage green, lime, yellow and peach are more of an accent colors. Then there is black, grey, brown (truffle-a medium chocolate milk, gorgeous) and taupe/beige family. A deep grey, coral and lighter gray with bit of matte silver for accents is a good combo.
And I like the grey with the coral, very classic. Teal green with shades of cinnamon, a deep orange, apricot and cream.
And I love burgundy but that is too close to the pink/purple family.Truffle with flowers in red, cream and the cafe au' lait dahlia, gorgeous. (A like a very, very pale cup of coffe that is 98% milk-a soft creamy pinkish beige=google.)
So, the best combos are navy, ice blue, silver, light grey and white. I see silver candlelabras with white lillies, delphinium, blue statice, grey dusty miller and shiny silver ting or accent jewels, with drapey hanging jewels, navy table runners or organza throws with votives in crystal holders, wine glasses underneath, perhaps table scatter or table gems.Add icy crystal stems to arrangements. Navy and white diamante draped tulle creating a beautiful sky above.
Teal green with coral, apricot, peach, and some shiny bronze. Tall eiffel tower vases with a coral,peach and the gold rose with coral tips tuti fruti I think is the name with bronze ting.
Royal blue with deep coral, peach and salmon with cream. bouquets in all of the gerbera daisy colors except red.
Emerald green with matte gold, pale yellow and a dot of lime in bouquets. Gold roses with creamy peonies.Lime cymbidium orhids with tiny burgundy throats for a treat of color.
Truffle goes great with red and also with the fall color flowers, season doesn't matter, add in curly willow unless ceremony is very formal.
Black with red hot cherry lipstick and silver===boom, pzazz. Lot of white twinkle lights, get with white cords and run thru black and white diamate tulle, massive aarrangementsof the cherry and white with jeweled curly ting.
Forgot eggplant, plum, maybe a bit of dusky rose, then cream and a touch of shiny gold. My fav, so elegant, eeggplantmini callas make gorgeous bouts.
Consider using faux fur wraps and/or fur muffs rather than bouquets with a small floral bouquet attached.
Also, goggle bouquet jewelry. And please I am so sick of round hand tied bouquets which are a blob of colors with no greenery to seperate. They take away from desses, use bouquet holders and have round and airy or pear or crescent shaped. And long stem arm bouquets, where did they go??? There is a way that florist can put a ribbon loop for MOH to hold her arm bouquet underdneath with her left hand while she holds yours with right or rather have a slender column with a long, tall taper and drape your bouquet across it while saying vows. And of course for you the long drapey pear shape, not too big, but something that accents the colors and the dress and your eyes don't focus on the big mound of color all running into each other. Hope this helps.
Where can I find these and what do they go best with?
whoa nelly
I'm looking for silk burgundy Gerbera Daisies for a wedding bouquet. Can anyone help me find some??? Also, what filler flowers would go best with them?
Thanks!
BTW, our colors are Chocolate, Ivory, and Burgundy.
Answer
Certainly even Silks have green in/around them, and you might try a color wheel to determine complimentary and contrasting colors to Burgundy.
It sounds like your choices will be in various shade ranges of teh Burgundy, adding whites or ivories in flowers, or babys breath, etc.
Without knowing the dominant Dress color, I'd suggest the flowers be noticeable when carried, not strictly blend in with the dress.
