Aqua and Silver OR Aqua and Brown for wedding?

Question

Im thinking about doing those colors / one of the two but havent choose which one yet, my sister said aqua and silver, and my best friend says aqua and brown, the wedding is Sept '07 and the girls dresses either way would be aqua I guess... anyone know of ideas for the wedding reception for center pieces with these colors or flowers, any ideas would help!! Or web sites to look at ! Thanx!

Answer 1

My Vote: Aqua and brown. Perfect fall colors. A cool palate- but not cold.

Answer 2

I would go with the aqua and brown. They look amazing together. Check out some bridal websites and you will start to see those colors together. With the centerpiece I would go with ivory flowers and tie in the aqua with ribbons on the pots, which could be brown. You could find some really neat containers and that would look great with a neutral flower and the aqua would really off set it all. My colors are pink and brown and I am finding lots of brown stuff to use at craft stores and online. You can even find brown freeze dried rose petals to sprinkle on tables. Hope that helps. If you need more ideas I recommend the Brides.com Message Boards. I am on there every day and there are tons of helpful girls with lots of great ideas and pictures of ideas. I'll post the link to it below....

Brown and aqua I think work better than aqua and silver. You can do a lot more with brown than with silver. Because the brown is a basic color you can accent it more with the aqua without it being overwhelming. The silver just seems like it might be too much with aqua. Imagine accenting brown invitations with ivory and aqua. It wouldn't be as flashy as silver, but I think that color scheme would be fabulous. Good Luck!

Answer 4

Aqua and silver. I just think those colors look so classy together. You could put the ladies in aqua, and the maid of honer in silver. Beautiful Centerpieces, mirror with a silver vase and blue hydrangeas, or anything else that's blue. Your florist can come up with other flowers. I believe they can also spray flowers to any color you want, but natural is always best. Google images of wedding centerpieces. They have tons. One place that was really pretty was Anne's flowers (I think) Good luck.

Answer 5

Since september is later in the year I would go with the aqua and brown. I think a very simple aqua bridesmaid dress with an A-line skirt to it with a wide satin brown bow tied in the back would be beautiful!!! Flowers and Centerpieces could be blue/aqua hydrangas with the brown ribbon again. They could wear brown shoes so that they are muted and neutral. Groomsmen could have the same brown tuxes with the aqua vests or trim. Just be carful if you do pick the brown to avoid blacks (like the groomsmen's tuxes) You don't want a bridesmaid with a brown accented dress walking with a black tux. I really like these colors, and have considered them myself. Best of luck, and congrats!

Answer 6

Brown and Aqua are very TRENDY colors so the photos will look dated very quickly. Aqua and silver are less dramatic though. It depends on what type of wedding, what time of day, what setting etc.

I like the idea of brown and aqua. I'm a huge chocolate fan and you could do some fun things with chocolate at your reception if you choose brown.
