Question by Erica – So many bunny huggers, so little time!: What would you think of these colors for a wedding?
My husband and I never really got to do a full wedding (we were married in a court house), but I want to have a real ceremony either this summer or next. Nothing big and fancy, just a little something so that the WHOLE family can be there, and my grandpa can actually walk me down the isle as I’ve always wanted. For my colors, aside from the white of my dress, I wanted to use green, blue and purple. Not like screaming colors, but the more darker, bolder forms, of these colors. What do you think of that color combination? And any flower suggestions would be greatly appreciated! For the record, I don’t really want to use roses, as I think those are a bit played out, and I hate carnations, lol. For center pieces, I want to do glass candle holders, with a mix of blue green and purple stones, with a white candle in the center, any suggestions on that would be great, too! I also want to alternate table cloth covers, in those three colors, with a white runner down the middle. I’m also not sure if I should go with white white, or like an off white or off ivory color? Thanks for reading!!
Here’s the colors we’re looking at, or a close example of them, lol

That’s the only one I could find for the green, lol, sorry!
As for the white, I’m definitely leaning more towards an ivory or cream color, probably more towards Ivory. Thanks for the feedback, everybody!
Thanks everybody! I’m still on the fence about the white thing, lol
To the last poster, every color, eh? Sorry I missed it, that sounds rather interesting!!
And thanks, Sam, you would know! Lol…. Yeah, that one took me a while….. Shut up! Lol

Hi Erica,
Your colors are definitely unique. I love that you are thinking of doing centerpieces besides flowers! As far as your bouquet, I recommend doing purple flowers and greens, maybe a blue ribbon so you utilize your whole palette.
Traditionally, off-white/ivory is used for those already married. Tradition aside, I think it works better aesthetically with the other colors you have chosen.
If you need help with your planning, please feel free to contact me!
Best Wedding Wishes!
