Pick Your Palette....

Can't decide on a color scheme for your wedding?  Select your shade by answering the questions below.
THE BASICS
1.  What's your favorite color?  Build your scheme around the hue you love most.  But don't just think pink or blue.  Get specific:  Is it teal or turquoise, raspberry or rose?
2.  What does your site look like?  Tangerine and lime probably won't work in a red and gold ballroom, so consider  the dominant colors in your space before picking  your colors.
3.  Do you have a flower in mind?  If your wild about sunflowers, consider a combination of yellow and orange.  Adore green hydrangeas?  Start picking out vibrant table linens.
4.  What's the season?  Let your wedding day inspire you.  In spring, think pastels.  In summer, try brights.  Warm hues work in fall; gem tones, metallics, and icy blues say "winter".

Here are some of my favorite color combinations and why...
Marigold and Gray:  When yellow is paired with gray, the result is formal, chic and edgy.
Fuchsia and Red:  This color combination says lush and romantic in a tropical climate.
Ice Blue and Black:  This modern look would fit nicely in a hip hotel.
Kelly Green and Moss:  This grassy color combination injects the sunny spirit of golf greens into a country club celebration.
Purple and Pale Pink:  This is a match made for an estate wedding.
Marine Blue and Cream:  Nothing says "nautical" like blue and cream.  Use these colors on the beach or a yacht club.
