Conflicted about color scheme.

However, all I can think about is what the colors will be. Part of me wants that soft sage green and pale pink look while another part of me wants bold bright fuschia and tangerine. Right now, the goal timeframe for the wedding is late June 2009. I'd love peonies, and I think they would work for either color scheme....white and pink for the light color scheme or bright pink with orange roses for the bold one. Any suggestions or inspiration? I think maybe I could work with both, use the lighter colors for the ceremony and the bold colors for the reception? "There's no place like home..."

You might find that one color scheme or the other would just be perfect, or perfectly awful, for the venue you decide to choose! We got lucky, and the colors I wanted to use work really well with our venue, but some of the other places we looked at would not have put us in the same boat. Our reception ballroom has pink brocade walls with lots of ivory wainscoting/paneling - we're using plum-burgundy and midnight blue with accents of lighter pinks and ivories. ********************** Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same. - Emily Brontë

But it's nice to have a few options for color choices ready to spring into action once the decision has been made. I had.... 4 or 5 color schemes waiting in the wings.
