mimzy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,812 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 7/17/2007	i'm trying to decide on a color pallet for the wedding. it's probably going to be the weekend before christmas, but i don't want straight up red and green. the space is pretty stark, so no worries about clashing with interior decor. choice one: dark maroon with a lime green, with either black or brown accents [it's good to be good to people you don't understand]

MMM Ideal Rock Total Posts: 526 Last Post: 10/12/2009 Member Since: 9/19/2006	i like the first palate. i like the play of the lime green and maroon and that they are Christmas colors, but skewed. and then i think the black pops more. maroon and brown are already so close to each other.

sera Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,086 Last Post: 5/22/2008 Member Since: 6/28/2007	I like the maroon, lime and brown combo. I like having other deep reds mixed in with maroon. This is kinda that color palette, though the table cloths are more golden than a straight brown (but it looks like the chairs are brown). I love the colors though I would like to see some darker reds with those brighter reds. And I love green cymbidium orchids with brown... green orchids with a touch of red are gorgeous and can go well with a Christmas theme without being "too Christmasy" red red and green green. ETA: Also taking out some of those red & white flowers and replacing them with maroon would look richer and less Christmasy, IMVHO. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ May you live all the days of your life. -Swift

door knob solitaire Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,933 Last Post: 2/26/2008 Member Since: 6/27/2005	I saw a segment with Susan Lucci of that soap opera...she was showing how she decorates for Christmas. She uses red and pink. I thought yuk. Then I saw what she was doing. And the colors together were so refreshing and almost added a flavor to the theme. You know you really can taste some colors. My mouth was watering...strangely. I think she made low arrangements of lets say pink and red peonies...of course it could have been carnations...but what ever it was it was really lovely. I can see low glass bowls filled with water and reds and pink flowers a float. Or the petals strewn along the floor on the isle...reds and pinks. Just my 2 cents. If I had more pennies I would offer them... but these were the only two colors similar to your choices that I recognized having seen work. § ETA: I see Sunnygirl already offered that combo. Sorry, didn't mean to step on your toes SG!!
