Wedding colors to coordinate with Dress Blues?

Question

Thinking of doing navy blue, but worried it may be too much blue.... any pictures would be very helpful!!

Answer 1

Yellow is so beautiful with blue.

Answer 2

That's a hard one, we were going to have my fiances' best man wear is dress blues but I felt it would have looked out of place. In my opinion a pale color would work nothing dark, I wouldn't do navy for the girls think about how that would look in pictures, all navy blue.

Answer 3

bride should go a powder blue with silver or gold shoes etc
the bridesmaids should go navy blue
go for black shoes for the bridemaids
flowers can be different shades of pinks with cream or white
you can never have too much blue!!
just make sure the shades do not clash but rather compliment each other.
carry the silver or gold & blue theme to the table settings & grooms mens ties & vests
check out the links below for ideas on choosing colours, hope they help!
good luck i'm sure it will be beautiful.

Answer 4

Navy and Silver, Gold, White/Ivory are all classic combinations - I particularly like Navy with White and Silver - coordinated by something like light blue hydrangea flowers / accents. Good luck!

Answer 5

I don't think any of them really compliment your gown but if I have to choose from the 3 it would be the flowy dress. The reason I don't think it goes Is it is SO busy with the yoke and the tie thing going on and it seems more casual whereas your dress is so classic and elegant. I think it is the best of the three because it has similar lines, instead of the baby doll look of the pregnancy dress or the yucky v neckline that's SO different of the pregnancy complement dress. Good luck piecing everything together!

Answer 6

no I love the navy blue idea, what time of year is your wedding? Also I love the way white and yellow stands out against navy.

Answer 7

Ooh...I'm using blue dresses, too! Pretty!

I'm a little unclear as to whether you want to use light blue dresses with navy blue or whether you are using navy blue dresses and want another color, but here are some ideas:

Navy blue with gold (for autumn)
Navy or ice blue with silver (for winter)
Navy blue and white (for a nautical feel)
Sky blue with silver and white (for spring or summer)
Sky blue with multicolored wildflowers (for summer)
Light blue with apple green (http://weddings.theknot.com/odb/themes/realweddings/DetailView.aspx?id=6897&location=185)
Light blue with orange (complimentary colors -- very pretty!)

Edit: Oh, I get it... it's a military thing. Silly me.

In that case, I would go with monochromatic blues (with bridesmaids in light blue, bouquets of mixed blues with whites). Or, you could use red and white as your wedding colors for a very traditional, classy look. Just forgo the blues elsewhere so as not to look too Americana. Or, you could use a soft yellow for bridesmaid dresses and flowers -- if your bridesmaids look good in yellow, that is.

Good luck and congratulations!

Answer 8

A soft yellow, coral, or peach would be lovely with the uniforms. So would a soft grey.

I think pastel pink would also be really nice but I suspect nobody really wants bridesmaids in pink these days.

Good luck. Your pictures will be a delight!

Answer 9

Silver or light tan/beige would be nice. I think silver especially, because then you could accent with navy sashes or ribbons. For flowers, I think the classic red roses would look the best.

Answer 10

Red looks great!! gold would also be pretty. here's a suggestion- look at pictures of Marine corps balls you or your friends have been to, or search on photobucket, myspace, googel etc. you can look at all the dresses against the blues and see what you think!
