Purple Tiki
Beach Wedding Colors! Yea!?

I am getting married in August of 2010 and am looking for some beautiful wedding colors. I am not a fancy person nor is my fiance and we want simple elegance for the wedding. The ceremony and reception are going to be held on the beach we will have tiki torches tt outline the parameters of the wedding area. Sparklers will be used when they send us away.

Color schemes we’ve considered so far are:
Black & White w/ Teal as an accent
White & Sage w/ Light Blue as an accent
White & Orange w/ gold as an accent

We don’t want to the following colors:
Pink, Purple, Brown or Red

Let me know your thoughts and any additional suggestions for color schemes, flower ideas for the bouquets, etc. Thanks!

black and white is very formal and always in style
white and orange is very bright and trendy and will date your wedding photos very quickly
white and sage is very mellow and calm and something that will never go out of style.
i like the idea of white and sage with the light blue accents. very mother nature colors~i think that it will give you the classic elegant look you want while avoiding the stuffy formalness of black and white.
as for flowers how about herbal bouquets?
rosemary for remembrance,
sage for virtue,
lavender for best wishes,
ivy for friendship,
myrtle is a symbol of love and fertility
while roses are for love.
you could even grow Your Own bouquets if you chose to…..herbal bouquets are beautiful and would tie in very nicely with an outdoor wedding!
you can go to
theherbaltouch.com
on the internet
and look at the wedding bouquet and the directions on how to make your own.
whatever you choose, much happiness!

edit: wow how do any of these answers deserve a thumbs down? and how does my answer deserve three thumbs down? no one here has said nothing derogatory, nothing rude, nothing mean-spirited. oh well……..i still think my suggestion is a good one as are all the other folks ideas!
