How do you include 3 colors in your wedding??

Question

If I chose to use lilac, champagne and sage-how would I incorporate them into everything? Or would that just be too much?

Answer 1

Pick your 2 fave of the three and use them as the main colors and accent them with the 3rd remaining color

Answer 2

Very do able, and they will go so well together. Lilac and sage would be great primary colors with champagne as an accent color. One idea would be for the maid or matron of honor and best man to wear one color and the rest of the bridal party the other, or the girls could wear lilac dresses with champagne shoes or and the guys could wear the sage (since lilac isn't very manly haha) The champagne sashes is a good idea regarless of dress color, or the flower girl and ring bearer could wear champagne. For your decorations and flowers, all 3 colors will be beautiful together and can be incorporated in so many different ways. Remember, it is your day, everything should be your way!

Answer 3

I did white, sage and lilac for my wedding and it really came together well, and I think adding the champagne instead of white will too. I've been seeing a lot of weddings that use table runners - pick a primary color as the main cloth and alternate runners in the other 2 colors. (maybe champagne with sage and lilac runners - better yet if you can find a pattern with both colors!) The most common way to incorporate the colors is obvious - green leaves with lilac flowers and hints of the champagne by way of ribbon accents in the arrangments. Use lots of ivy throughout your room and arrangements to showcase the other colors.

I would try Lilac dresses or sage with a Champagne sash or wrap. Then incorporate the other color into the flowers. For the centerpeice use all 3 colors in the flower and use a champange tablecloth and alternate the 2 colors with the napkins. It is your wedding and you could use as many colors as you want!! For the invitations you can do a champange background and the writing in the other 2 colors. It is very do able since the champagne is so nuetrual. Good luck and have fun!

Answer 5

Those three colors seem to go well together so you shouldn't have to much trouble. You should pick a color to be your primary (ie: the lilac) and use the sage as an accent color. You could dress the girls in lilac and men in sage and only hint at the champagne color with ribbons and flowers. I did something similar with blue and fall colors (fall wedding).

Answer 6

I'm doing my daughters wedding now..She has a champagne dress, and her colors are pippin apple green, orange, and a dash of purple. Her table arrangements are huge glass container filled with green apples, with curly willow coming off the tops..Some of the small arrangements, will have sliced limes pressed against the glass then orange Lillie's, with creme roses and purple iris coming off the top of the arrangement. Mirrors and candles arrange in highs and lows.Its good to have 3 main choices, not ten..You use too much and you loose the effect..I was a florist a few years ago, and babysbreath is a no no.Its a cheap filler, and looks cheesy..Have your florist do clean arrangements with out all the carnations and junk..Keep it classical and simple. Those are good colors you chose..Just use champagne table cloths with a, chiffon over lay on the table...Then use your lilac, champagne, and sage colors for the arrangements..Maybe a dash of white agapantha, put into the arrangement. They will cut it up and put that in as filler..real pretty. You could always put a long candle up the center of the table arrangement too. Tea candles are nice too in small containers set around, for ambiance.

Answer 7

Beautiful choices! I have three colors too: Black, Silver, and White. Black & Silver are my primary colors, with white being the accent. Depending on what you're doing with gowns, decorations, etc....I'm not so sure which one you should use more as a compliment color. I think I would lean towards lilac & sage for the main colors, with champagne for an accent. Best of luck to you!

Answer 8

Flowers Flowers Flowers! Thats how I'm incorporating them. I would choose one to be your "main" color are use the other two as accents. Maybe your girls wear sage with a champagne sash and carry flowers that are lilac and champagne. Then your flower elsewhere can match your girls flowers and all your little details will fall into place.

Good luck and best wishes!

Answer 9

We had four - pink, lilac, yellow, and light teal, and organizing everything was such fun for the summer wedding because everything was colourful and beautiful.
Just use them where you choose, and in combos you like - I won't go into how I used all mine because that would take up just too much space. I will mention, though, that the attendants had white tea-length dresses with watercolour-painted style little flowers on them in the aforementioned colours, which is where I got the idea from. So, each bridesmaid had a 'colour' with her matching groomsman - the 'lilac' bridesmaid had a wreath of lilac coloured flowers in her hair, and had lilac ribbons trailing from her bouquet. Her 'lilac' groomsman had a grey tux (they all did) and wore a lilac tie and cummerbund, and ribbon on his boutonniere.
Decorations were in all colours, etc.

Answer 10

ooh I dont know how to incorporate those 3 colors. I'd say do sage dresses with purple flowers or light purple dresses with sage colored flowers/leaves......... champage dresses I think would look too funny with the other colors (but just an opinion)
I have no idea how to incorporate the champange color. lol
I'd say to use champagne tuxes with light purple dresses, but that might look funky too.
or champagne and sage dresses? I dunno. This one is too hard to combine. Why are you using those 3 colors? Is there a reason? IF not, I'd stick with colors that would look better together. If you're getting married in the Fall I'm thinking those colors would be great. Any other time of the year is a no no.

Answer 11

I had 3 colors for my wedding - purple, yellow and champagne. My dress was champagne, my girls wore purple, my flower girl wore a purple and yellow flowered dress and my table decorations were purple and yellow with the table clothes in purple with a champagne lace overlay. My girls carried purple, yellow and beige flowers and my flowers had a small amount of purple in them. Your colors all compliment each other so you should not have any problems with 3 colors. Maybe your girls could wear sage dresses and carry lilac flowers. Good Luck!
