My sister got married yesterday, and the colors at her wedding were pink, red and orange. Not three colors one would normally think to combine but it was really pretty. If you're married, what were the colors at your wedding? If you're not married, what colors would you like to have at your wedding? I think I'd like my wedding colors to be a simple black and white.

I think a black and white theme would be nice, really..
By the way, those are vibrant colors and I'm sure it was a beautiful wedding of your sis..congrats to her.happy
I think a wedding in my point of view; the more simpler, the better.. and not much fuss over things. The most important thing is to have a fun time and guests are enjoying themselves with food and whatnot.

My ex and I actually discussed having our wedding colors black and white! It would be very elegant, and I also agree with you about the simplicity. Thanks for your response; sorry it took me so long to respond!


myLot reputation of 99/100. zed_k4 (7705)   ranked 229 out of 2,035 in get married  2 years ago

It's alright, no worries..
Black and white; elegant colors for sure. Good luck with that..winkwinkwink

Hi, lwelizabeth. I have worn light grayish blue and white mixed together. I would like for my wedding colors to be cream, rose and pink. White would be another color. I love pearly white.happy I don't think that I have ever seen orange and red at a wedding. I have see wine and burgundy though.


myLot reputation of 93/100. lwelizabeth (224)   ranked 159 out of 2,035 in get married  2 years ago

Grey-blue and white are two colors that go lovely together. I think you're color choices would look beautiful together as well. Thanks for the response!

At mine since it's at the beach we are having aqua blue with white and sliver as the colors. These three colors will look really pretty together since it will be outside.


myLot reputation of 93/100. lwelizabeth (224)   ranked 159 out of 2,035 in get married  2 years ago

Oh, wow those will look awesome together. They're very fitting for a beach wedding, as well. I hope you have an awesome wedding day and many good years of marriage! Thanks for the response, by the way.

a did a shower for someone whose colours were black and silver for her wedding (not colours that i would choose either)
my colours were pretty much just royal blue with pink accents, of course that was over 20 years ago! if i got married now, my colours would be aqua shades.


myLot reputation of 93/100. lwelizabeth (224)   ranked 159 out of 2,035 in get married  2 years ago

Black and silver could look lovely together, but I'm not sure I would choose those colors either. Royal blue with pink sounds pretty, I'm sure it was! Aqua shades also sounds beautiful, I think it'd be really neat to see a wedding where the color palette is one color but in many different shades.

Thanks for the response!

Woww it is a nice combination. I really want to see it. I like those colors because it will looks brighter and cheerful, while black and beauty is some classic colors.


myLot reputation of 93/100. lwelizabeth (224)   ranked 159 out of 2,035 in get married  2 years ago

You're right, the colors definitely gave the wedding a bright and cheery feel! Thanks for the response.

when i get married our motive is burgundy..its a nice color..but if you want you can combine a burgundy and a green..
it's very nice.


myLot reputation of 93/100. lwelizabeth (224)   ranked 159 out of 2,035 in get married  2 years ago

Burgundy and green sounds like a lovely combination, not sure it's one I'd pick myself though. I tend to stay away from reds and browns. Thanks for the response!

That sounds amazing! There are some weddings over which do not have a color scheme/palette either, nothing wrong with that! Most do tend to have specific colors in mind for that day though. Thanks for the response!

The pink, red, and orange combination is great for a summer wedding. Black and white makes me think of a vintage 50s-style wedding.

When I got married 2 years ago, my motif colors were apple green with pink accents. It was a morning wedding, so we wanted something that's a bit bright but still cool on the eyes.


myLot reputation of 93/100. lwelizabeth (224)   ranked 159 out of 2,035 in get married  2 years ago

Ooh, green and pink sounds very beautiful. And perfect for a morning wedding! Thanks for the response!

we didn't have colours for our wedding.

we just picked things out in whatever colours we liked, rather than trying to match everything.

my husband wore burgundy velvet. my bridesmaid wore dark, slightly two tone green. the younger bridesmaid had a dark purple sash on her dress. the flowers had various shades of pink, cream, green etc.

so we didn't have colours, but everything still went together.

I see it as like looking at lots of flowers together in a garden. the colours all look good together, even though they're different.

if anything I'd say that was the idea. all the colours were either natural or muted jewel colours.


I don't really like the idea of trying to match everything. when I see people getting worked up over whether the napkins match the bridesmaids dresses, I just think it's missing what a wedding is about.


myLot reputation of 93/100. lwelizabeth (224)   ranked 159 out of 2,035 in get married  2 years ago

Sounds like you're wedding was beautiful. I agree with your garden analogy, as well. Thanks for the response!
