Any ideas on which shades of blue and pink would complement each other well?

Question

My fiance loves the colour blue n i adore warmer shades of pink. I'd like to incorporate both in our wedding.

Answer 1

I would say just look at a ton of different samples or else you might not get the full effect. If you want a light pink then pick out a light blue...
Play with the color wheel to get ideas of shades..

Good Luck!

Answer 2

If you like warmer shades of pink, how about a pool blue (similar to the "answer this question" button in Yahoo Answers)? That would a bright and fun combination.
I would stay away from navy blue, midnight blue. Personally, I dont think baby blue and baby pink is good for a wedding.

Answer 3

Of course it is obvious that pastel colors compliment each other well. So as previously mentioned: baby blue and pink. BUT here are some other ideas dependant on the season of your wedding:
Navy Blue & Rose Pink (fall/winter)
Teal & hot pink (spring/summer)
Royal Blue w/ any shade of pink

Things to remember: If you are using pink flowers then pink shoudl be your accent color and the dresses should be in blue. Maybe a blue with pink sash or accessories.
The darker the color the more for the colder months. The brighter the more for the summer months.

Answer 4

I would steer clear of baby blue and baby pink because I've seen that done at a wedding and it kind of looked like a baby shower. Maybe a cornflower and peachy pink with chocolate brown as an accent color? Those combos are pretty popular so it would be easy to find accesories.

Answer 5

I would steer clear of "baby" or light pink and light blue, it may look like a baby shower. Instead a more sophisticated combo would be a navy blue and a lighter brighter pink. It's very "new england north shore". The Knot did this scheme in one of their magazines, it was their color issue. Check it out.

Answer 6

I'd steer clear of the pastels...I agree that it would look too much like a baby shower.

I like the combination of a watery blue, such as you'd find at the pool or a tropical beach, with a nice coral. I also like teal and fuschia as a combo, if you're up for something bold.

Go look at the paint store. You can bring home the chips for your fiance to look at, too.

Answer 7

I'd stay away from both colors as being pastel - it's kind of baby shower-ish.

You could do a navy blue and a rose color, or even a hot pink, if you're brave (I'm thinking a navy gown with a bright pink sash). Or even navy and a pastel pink. (Navy gown, pink roses, silver accent - pretty!)

Answer 8

how about a dusty rose coupled with a periwinkle blue?
it would be very pretty and not quite so babyish as pink and blue as we normall think of them.
if you would prefer a bright pink, then couple it with a slate blue and see what you think.
one of the other answers here stole my thunder - i always advise brides to head to the paint store and pick up color chips. you will find a hundred different pinks and twice as many blues to choose from.
good luck with your wedding and have a long and happy life together!

Answer 9

go to a fabric store and start looking. maybe take your fiance and have him find a shade of blue he likes and u find a shade of pink. see how they look together and go from there with adjusting colors. when i got married i knew i wanted blue-when the dress i had picked turned out to be almost c-thru on the bottom and lots of $ i decided to have them made and go with a "blue rainbow". i found the colors and material on my first trip to JoAnn etc. i had 4 shades of blue. b/c navy is my fave i used it in decorations etc. 8 bm's-2 in ea. shade and 2 jr. bm's in navy. all the guys had navy vests b/c we couldn't find the same style in all the colors.

good luck and congrats.

Answer 10

I would go with a slate blue and a rose or dusty pink. Cream and Silver are great compliments to this color scheme. Avoid pastel blue or pink, it will look like a baby shower color scheme.
