Hello Harriet! Peach and Sky Blue paired with silver or gray would be lovely!
I want to use a Plum color with green , what do you think?
TaQuonda, Hello! What month is your wedding?
hello, these are beautiful palettes. What would you suggest for an outdoor early August wedding?
Hello, I am getting married in July and finding it very difficult to pick my colors. Do you have any suggestions?
Nicole, do you love Sangria and Mauves? Check out the boards to the right for inspiration. :)
Shauntonja, I love the firecracker orange inspiration board to the right with the lighter orange. Also cobalt blue and yellow pop!
I love this color combo! I’m planning an October wedding (2011) in NM…I want to have a turquoise and coral theme but I’m having trouble finding the right shades of each…also thinking about having bridesmaids wear varying shades…what other colors would go with those two?? I don’t want to go overboard with the turquoise and coral because I want myself and bridesmaids to wear accent jewelry..so perhaps a more neutral shade for their dresses?
Hello Veronica! I will be adding 2011 wedding color ideas today!!! I do not see turquoise on the palette. However, that doesn’t mean it won’t be there. So if you love, love, love turquoise you may have to buy the items you adore NOW then. RE: 2011 color trends — The closest I see for turquoise is leaning more toward a green hue. Mocha / chocolate / brown will make a come back in 2011! Grey is hot this year, 2011 not so much it appears. Have fun! :)
Hi I’m having a May wedding in Ohio with the backdrop being floor to ceiling windows and just outside are tons of dark green trees. What shades of blue and orange would you recommend? I was thinking of a “light” turquoise, say an aquamarine or even a cornflower blue with a coral or light peach? Your thoughts?
Hello Candy! We have a studio in Akron, Ohio! http://tiny.cc/ohiostudio If you didn’t get invites yet, you are welcome to visit us! I love light blue with nature / tree green in the background. Coral (cool coral light orange) is popular now. A perfect match used with light cornflower blue or light aqua! Enjoy!!

Hello! I’m planning a december 2010 wedding with a black, plum and silver palette. I’m having a hard time finding the right color of plum–not too purple, but not too pink. Also, we got engaged in Paris and want to somehow incorporate it into the decor without going overboard. Any ideas???
HI! I am getting married September 25, 2010. We are thinking like a coral color?! Is that our of season, what do you think? What would match up good with it?
I am having a hard time deciding on my colors for my wedding! I am getting married in May, but I’m not real crazy about pastels, any suggestions?
Hi, I’m getting married early December of 2010. Suggestions?!
Hello,
I’m having a small wedding in July of this year, I’m wearing an antique white dress, I’m not sure of my other colors. I was leaning towards pistachio and coral, or coral and a blue. I’m into different things I’ve either considered chocolate but I didn’t know how to pair so it could remain summer like.
Hello Daphne! I would pair your pistachio and light blue with light gray. You can still add a tiny bit of coral here and there. Best wishes!! xo
Hello Shannon! There are many wonderful winter wedding color schemes! Red and white of course. Silver, light blue and white. Periwinkle, silver and a sprinkle of purple. Best wishes!
Hello Mallory! Cobalt blue and yellow are HOT! http://www.mypersonalartist.com/blog/2009/12/29/cobalt-blue-yellow-and-silver-gray-wedding-colors/
Hello Melissa! Coral is beautiful with raspberry, light blue, turquoise, lavender, sangria and more! Best wishes!
Hi.. I am so in love with your portfolio really great choices… Was wondering if you have any color ideas for a garden wedding in october? thanks so much….
Angel, what flowers will be in bloom in the garden?
Hello Cat. I am not a fan of pairing dark colors with each other. Dark gray and plum maybe. Or Black and Lilac with the silver. Best wishes!
Hello Laney! Do you have your wedding flowers picked out yet? Tell me which ones you will use.
Hi Michelle:
I am approaching middle age and getting married for the 2nd time. I would like to use “a heart of gold” theme and also a light blue color scheme. I want to use gold accents and I am planning for a June 10 wedding. Can you give me any suggestions?
Hi Michelle!
Im getting married May 14, 2010. I chose periwinkle, white and silver/dove grey as my palette (for spring), which will predominate in the entourage gowns. My problem is choosing the right color for my flowers. Should it also be in the cool range of monochromatic blues and white or should I use darker shades like magenta, violet, and pink? thanks! I love your website, btw!

Hi Michelle!
I’m getting married in early September in a Castle by the lake. I really have no idea as to what color scheme to go for. I like nuturals…but I am just really lost for ideas. What do you think?
Hello Annalisa! I am thinking greens or blues. What is your favorite color?
Hello Annalisa. I like a lovely navy, grey or black suite for a castle wedding. Tan seems more beachy or spring for me. Best wishes!
hi,
i want to say u r doing a pretty good job.
i’ll be gettin married in october.
my fiance is wearing a skyblue shirt and a black suit.
i want coffee brown and cream for the theme, but i tink the combinations will be lousy.
wot other colours can i use to match his chosen colours?
thanks.
Hi Michelle – I love these colors!! I will be getting married in the fall, could I use these colors as well? If not, how would you suggest the color pallette be adjusted?
Hi Michelle –
I absolutely love this color scheme, but I am getting married late summer/early fall. Any ideas on how to change the color scheme around a bit to match the season? I’m excited to hear back. I absolutely love your ideas!!
Hello Michelle! I am planning a wedding for May or June 2011. My fiancee loves the color yellow so we are going with a buttercup yellow I believe. I am trying to pick a color to pair it with. I am thinking Mocha brown would look nice. What do you think?
Hi Michelle
My son is getting married at a castle in the mountains, on the tropical island of the Dominican Republic. It is a small wedding with the bride, groom, maid of honor, best man (their 6 yr old son) and the flower girl. Her dress is ivory lace and her colors are coral, yellow and chocolate brown. Ashley the bride wants coral and yellow roses in her bouquet, I think we should also add a little cream in hers. What about the maid of honors whose dress is chocolate brown? She also wants to add a few tropical flowers in her hair. She is incorporating the yellow roses for her father. What do we do for the grooms, fathers and son’s boutonnieres? Should they all match or should the groom match the brides hair? All the men will be in black tuxes, cream shirts. Help please!
Michelle – just found this site, it’s gorgeous! I’m getting married in September of this year (I know, very short engagement = stressful wedding planning!) Dying to have sunflowers, thinking about pairing it with coral. Any thoughts / better recommendations? I’m a little averse to blue bridesmaids dresses… nothing personal! Thanks so much :)
Hello Stephanie! I have just the inspiration board for you! View this new post Sunflower Wedding Inspiration Ideas
Hello Glorious! I am just not a huge fan of brown. The sky blue shirt and black suit is very crisp and lovely. I would build off of these colors. Adding a splash of lilac or coral would be lovely. Good luck!
Hello Lisa! I love the coral on the mens black suits! Sounds like a lovely wedding! Best wishes to all involved. xo
Hello Sharon! Congratulations!! Yes, mocha will be popular for 2011. Buttercup is lovely! Best wishes! xo
Hello Cimarron! You can change the Ice Blue to NAVY for fall. For late summer you can darken the coral a bit. Lovely! Best wishes! xo
Hi Michelle,
Love your site! I was wondering, for a July outdoor wedding, can we use coral, lime green and dark purple/plum? Looking for something elegant …sage and coral better?
Hi im getting married this year December..really having a hard time deciding for a theme color that would give an elegant yet simple design for a beach themed wedding..
Your site has been helping me a lot..

Any recommendations thats suits for a beach themed wedding?
Love to hear it.

I have been trying to find a combination for my wedding with light / baby blue as one of the colours! And so far this combination is the best that I’ve seen!
Oo! I love this so much, can I please use this in my blog as part of my wedding inspirations!? I will feature your site as one of my favourite wedding blogs too! hee
Hi Michelle, I’m getting married in July of 2011 and was wondering what you thought about Ice Blue dresses with a yellow sash and sun flowers for the bouquets. Thanks so much!
Hey Michelle, I haven’t picked out my flowers yet because the wedding is still another year away… But i really like the idea of using coral, any other suggestions of colors to pair with it around the 4th of July? I would like to avoid the pastel look because I feel it is too washed out. THanks for all your help.
Also, i am really torn between coral and like a raspberry shade and teals… what’s your opinion??
[...] Source: My Personal Artist [...]
Hello Laney! I think navy and pink would be a great choice for your July 4th wedding!
Hi Chelsey! Sounds perfect!!
Hello Serene! Thank you for the kind compliment. Thank you!
Hello Farrah! Celery and Mauve are fun and preppy for a beach wedding. LOVE khaki and almost any color of blue! Best wishes!
Hi Ruth! I would use celery and carrot orange from this color palette to pair up with your purple/plum.
Hi Michelle,
I Love this color scheme as well… I know they are more spring colors but was wondering if you would consider it good for fall in october as well or what would be your best color scheme for october to go with pearls?
Hello Melanie, You can switch out the coral for a burnt orange for your October wedding. Enjoy!
