*champagne/ latte/ and chocolate brown for a classic feel
*ballet slipper pink/ chocolate brown for modern pretty
*fall tones of burnt orange/ deep red/ medium brown/ sage green
*sage green fern theme
*whisper blue and creamy white fairy tale
*butter yellow and nautical blue for a vintage seaside theme

For you to pick your theme, you should think about the time of year & the time of day for your wedding. Then think about what you like- this will help you choose.
Hope this helps!

My colors are celadon green and cream. The bridesmaids dresses are celedon, the flowers are cream antique roses and antique green hydrangea. I might add a touch of lilac to the bouquets as well, it's a super color combo. The menus/place cards/programs are off of a celadon/cream combo..all done in pattern variations of those colors. It works well for the summer wedding I am having. Plus, I'm a kind of understated girl, so muted tones are my thing. Choose a color (that's not too wild, so your 'maids don't hate you..lol) that you love, that's seasonally appropriate for your wedding, then run with it! Once you have a color, you will have a more focused approach when ti comes to choosing everything else. Trust me, it makes all the decisions to come sooo much easier!

Depends on the time of year, your location, and what you like. I was married last December in the northern mid-west, our colors were navy and pale ivory and our flowers were calla lilies (in season during the winter). We didn't really have a theme so much, just went for simple elegance in seasonal colors.

I do know another couple who are crazy about baseball, and they were married in the middle of the summer at a local baseball diamond. The bride and groom were in traditional wedding clothes, but the bridesmaids wore 1950's era women's baseball uniforms (with skirts and knee socks) and the groomsmen wore traditional baseball uniforms.

Yet another couple I know wanted to avoid the whole "big wedding" thing entirely, so they were married in a helicopter over the Las Vegas strip. They didn't elope, they planned it that way - with their parents in the 'copter with them as witnesses!

How about a sponge-bob square pants theme! Just kidding, but it might be fun.

I think it depends on the time of year if you want to go with a color other than black and white. I think periwinkle is really pretty and most people look good in it.

What ever you choose you will love it and the day will be great I'm sure, have fun.

What time of the year is the wedding? You can use your favorite color. Do you have a favorite flower? Maybe you can use that and work around that color. Good luck, it sounds like fun.

Hi there...I'm a floral designer so I love a great concept.

For 2007, I love nature themes and earth hues...Chocolates, mochas, tans, beiges, terra, champagnes.

For color, lilac is so in. It's replacing pink as the must have

Believe it or not, teal, kelly, aquas are happening. I know, I know - but they can be done very tastefully.

Am sending you to my website for more color themes...www.nancyliuchin.com

It really depends on the season of the wedding, but a color that goes good in any season is platinum/titanium. On the woman's side you will find it as titanium and platinum on the men's side. But they match equally and this is a beautiful color against any shade of skin.

I love the black-and-white weddings that you see now sometimes. They are so chic, and everyone looks so sophisticated...especially if it's at sunset and evening. The bridesmaids almost always love it because they get a great little black dress to wear again sometime....and you're in white, which stands out.....beautiful! With touches of red in the flowers just for a "pop".

I had a spring wedding and we had pink and white. However, talk to your future hubby and ask him what colors he likes, don't leave him out of the planning. Also it would depend on what season you will be getting married.

Well, I used the Cinderella theme. My colors were baby blue and silver. I wore a baby blue dress, because I have native american in me, and wearing something blue means you have started a new life.
