I am picking wedding colors for my beach wedding, I have blue and tan (sky, sand) I need an accent (sun),?

Question

What color will go with that? I have from DavidsBridal.com. Cornflower, and Champange Dresses.
I need a color to mix in for like my flowers and accent pieces also. Would like a yellow, orange go? (light color maybe)
HELP?
Thanks

Answer 1

A green or a pink would look really great with cornflower and champagne. Maybe like a sea foam green or a baby pink.

Answer 2

use white because you don't want too many colors going on. I think the cornflower and champange nicely compliment each other and anything but white will take away from those colors. These are your main colors right? You don't want an accent color to over-power them and yellow or organe would do just that. White is nice and crisp and can represent the sruft, as someone already stated...or the clouds in the sky. I am sure that your florist will have great ideas to intigrate some splashes of beach-y color into your flowers.

Good luck!

Answer 3

First off... Congratulations on getting married! Best wishes!

Secondly... Cornflower & Champange are beautiful colors. Some accent colors could be:

♥ Coral

♥ Peach-orange

♥ Pink-orange

♥ Salmon

♥ Sandy Brown

Answer 4

Maybe a salmon or coral color? Something that pops out at you, it could represent the sunset or even a flower. You definitely need a stronger color. The yellow would look good with the blue, but the sand color already has a hint of yellow in it so they might just wash each other out.

Answer 5

I agree that the yellows available are too close to the champagne to work as a separate accent color. Also, the blue is a bit too bright to really work with another pastel.

I think the color that David's Bridal calls "Palm Beach Coral" would be a great accent to the blue, and definitely speaks to the beach theme.

Answer 6

The only way navy would look appropriate is if you mixed navy with yellows and whites in the bouquets. This would give it kind of like a 'sailor' look since it will be on the beach. or golds too. But i think if you mix navy w/ silver .. it would look too wintery. I have seen those combos at wintery weddings. If you combine it with orange.. I think it would be too much like a fall wedding. Another option can be a more lighter blue (maybe like a turqoise) for the bridesmaid dresses and you can have light pinks and hot pinks and white in the bouquets. More Summer combos: yellow, white, pink, light blue, mint green, turquoise either way, you have a lot of options and you can do some really nice combinations for a nice summer wedding! Nice Dress by the way!

Answer 7

Oh absolutely - think of a beautiful tropical sunset - red-orange sun against the pale turquoise sky running right up to the tan sand - and accents of green (palms) and mauve (distant clouds) and even a bit of "midnight blue" (night sky creeping in)

Or look at all those orange tropical flowers - yeah oranges and reds would be really pretty!

Answer 8

I like the salmon color others have suggested (like a hibiscus maybe?) I also like a green color - like sand dune grass or palm leaves depending on the shades of tan and cornflower (sorry, I didn't go to the David's Bridal site to check).

Think about the kinds of flowers/centerpieces you want and go from there.

Answer 9

Yellow and orange were the first colors to pop into my head. Just make sure they compliment each other.

Answer 10

a salmon pink--you do not want too pastel a color--the salmon pink comes in flowers and it is a true medium color reminding one of sunsets, sun rising and goes perfect with the light neutral colors you have all ready selected
