Color Scheme ideas


So, apparently you are supposed to choose 'colors' for your wedding. I always thought this was ridiculous. Then I realized that this is so that everything matches, which is good and bad. First, I am not a big fan of anything really matchy-matchy, secondly I don't want to stifle my and Scott's personalities behind a color scheme. However, after looking at MarthaStewart.com (I tried to hate her, but she is so wonderful!), I saw 2 colors that I LOVE LOVE LOVE. Yellow (like orangey yellow, or Marigold) and grey. Accents of pretty much any color would look beautiful (think white or red or blue or green...anything), and how beautiful would that look for an outside wedding?!
I still have to check with Scott, but if I had to specify my colors, I think I would say 'A springtime pallet of marigold and grey, accented by any color found in a garden". Doesn't that just sound divine? I think so too. Check out the picture that inspired me here. yummy and sophisticated all in one, like myself! ;)
