Asked On Yahoo Answers:

so what should i choose as wedding colors? i like pastel green and white..its an outdoor wedding in may? any suggestions?

My Answer:

green and white work well on their own – or you could add in pink. lavendar, baby blue, yellow or just about any other color. The great thing with white and green is that they both match everything, lol. Other common colors used with green which can all work for spring in the right hues: orange, peach, chocolate brown, silver

Since it is an outdoor wedding, you will already have a lot of green in the scenery. I would suggest picking one or more complimentary colors to add to the mix to make your wedding stand out from the scenery a bit.

The problem with green is that everyone is so used to it being the accent color that as soon as you add another color, the green takes second string. If you want to avoid that, use a cream or chocolate brown color to add interest without distracting from the green – or use metallic accents like gold or silver instead of color accents.

Another option is to use different hues of green and whites throughout the wedding (dresses, table clothes, napkins, etc) but then add interest by using a combination of pastel colors in the flowers for the wedding party and for the centerpieces. This leaves green as your main color everywhere but still lets your wedding stand out a little.

And lastly, a final option would be to have a theme other then color. For example – have a calla lily theme. Since calla lilys are white and green, you could do the entire wedding in white and green and it would be extremely elegant and the theme would tie it all together and make it very unique!
