Well there will be 2 weddings going on next year && 2009 ((also good to plan ahead)), and one is my moms((renewing her vials)), and one will be mines. Both will take place in the winter, and thats where we're stuck! Now my mom has one out of two colors picked, she wanted the color Hunter Green, and she needs another... ((thats where YOU come in))
Now for my wedding its also going to take in the winter time, but i'm not sure of any winter colors, My fiancee' love the color Lavender, but ((this is where YOU come in)) I need some beautiful winter colors.
My mother is renewing her vials in November
I'm getting married in January of 09
--Hope that helps with the colors.

I think Hunter Green looks great with burgundy/wine/maroon. Colors along that palette. Rich colors are great in winter b/c it brings a warmth into the room. However Hunter green with a sage or mossy green would be nice too. Monochromatic schemes are popular and elegant.
Often people like to mimic the outside and include that. You often see suggestions of Ice Blue and Silver or white. I think that looks cold and that is not what I would like people to think at my wedding.
When in winter it is seems to be really important to me. If it's close to spring time, I like to remind people of spring and do lavendar and spring green or lavendar and yellow. Something happy to get over the misery of winter. However January is quite the middle--so as I said I like the warmth better than pastels.
Think mulled cider and red velvet cake. Perhaps an eggplant purple would be nice. I also like red and black, or a maroon and gold. Wine and cream. Navy blue is another nice warm color. Jewel tones like ruby, emerald, sapphire have a lot of depth. I'd avoid the bold summer colors (peach, fushia, bright green) and the pastels of spring (yellow, sky blue, blush) but November also leads to the fall colors of browns, rusts, olives, gold, crimsons if your mom prefers something along that line.
Are there any colors you particularly like or don't like?
After all this is YOUR wedding!

Winter colors are usually the darker colors.
Your mother has the right idea in going for hunter green and a great color to pair that with is a deep red such as burgundy or maroon.
Personally, I've never too much liked lavender, but I'll put that to the side, lol! Lavender is a pastel and pastels are more spring-y. If you want winter colors, I'd suggest going with darker colors like navy blue, dark purple, burnt orange, etc. I've always loved the way a good navy blue looks in the winter but pairing it with another color can be tricky. Soft golds can look good with it as long as they're not too loud and metallic.
Good luck!

How exciting! I would have loved to get married in the winter but I got married in June. My FAVORITE colors for the winter are dark colors with lighter accent colors. For my wedding, I went ahead and did maroon with silver accents. For the hunter green, I would go with some sort of cream of champaigne accents. That would be classy and elegant. VERY beautiful. Other colors for the winter that I LOVE are midnight blue (my favorite and would look GREAT with a silver or gold!), dark red along the lines of a wine or maroon, or even something deep like a chocolate brown would be nice!

This is where I got my dresses. My color was chambord, but midnight, cabernet, and espresso are all pretty too. Look around and have fun with the colors! Make it personal because that will make it the most memorable!!!
CONGRATS!

Vows--you exchange vows...vials are what perfume comes in.
Now, on to colors---
For your mom, hunter green is a great start, why not use it with other evergreen colors and then use evergreens for the decorations (they are much cheaper than flowers, but can be just as beautiful) Deep greens, blueish greens, and silvery greens are all found in evergreen foliage, and juniper berries are very lovely.
For you, how about cold frosty colors...silver and pewter and pearl? The lavender can be mixed in in the flower arrangements--you could force crocus in long thin pots (wallpaper soaking trays sold at the hardware store would be really cheap and easy to decorate and dress up) to use as centerpieces/table runners. Hang round Christmas ornaments in your colors with crystals and strings of pearls (so cheap in the after Christmas sales)
It would be very very lovely.

Hunter green would be great with cream or light tan. I do like neutral colors!
When I was planning my summer wedding, I kept saying that if I was getting married in the winter, I would do a winter wonderland theme with different shades of blue and white with lots of glitter and snowflakes. It's a very fresh, non holiday theme for a wedding.

I say hunter green with burgandy or metallic gold.
Then for the winter wedding David's bridal has a color call Victorian Lilac that would go great with silver for a winter wonderland.

I would do hunter green and cream. My cousin did those colors and it came out beautiful. She did accents of pearls for the centerpeices with ivy.
For the lavendar, maybe a powder blue, you could do like an ice them, or a snowflake theme.
