Our wedding colors were/are Navy blue, Eggplant purple & Gray. Don't know how many of you have ever tried to find anything in these colors but its not easy. Mainly because blue and purple are so close to each other on the color wheel. What I could find was red! Navy & red; Eggplant & red; Even gray and red! Four colors seems like a little much... Hubs thought 3 colors was a little much but agreed that navy and purple was going to need a lighter color to help round it out. Dark colors are our thing.. if you haven't noticed?! =0) So of course the first color that comes to mind is Crimson!!! But can you say emo/gothic chic?? Doesn't really play into that whole fun, whimsical mindset huh? I don't know about anybody else and I'm not knocking anything but just no! ya know?! So began combing through the options...
1) Ditch Navy.. so colors would be Crimson, Eggplant & Gray. But we've already bought blue items.
2) Ditch Eggplant.. so colors would be Navy, Crimson & Gray. But in my mind it just looked like a 4th of July party! Ummm, NO.
3) Ditch Gray.. so colors would be Navy, Eggplant & Crimson. Okay, even to dark for me. Plus this combo just screams gothic and that's so not what we want conveyed at our celebration
so after much debate we went with option
4)Ditch our favorite red but add a red that works with the color scheme already chosen! Our improved color scheme is:
Navy blue, Eggplant purple, Candy Apple red & Gray.
