Wedding Inspiration

I have a good friend that just got engaged (congrats Amanda and Robbie!) and is in the midst of a flurry of wedding planning! I offered to come up with some ideas for inspiration as far as a color scheme/theme. This is totally play time for me - I LOVE weddings! Good thing I suppose since I am a wedding photographer :) OK, so here are my ideas (working off the idea of navy bridesmaids dresses or a neutral color palette):

1.) Shades of White. I was totally inspired by these pictures of vintage French treasures. Of course this color palette gives you SO many options, you could add in ivory, cream, even pale champagne. Total beauty, luxury and femininity!

2.) Navy and Chartreuse. I love this color combo! I just think it is so fresh and lovely. Amanda's wedding is in March, so I think this would be a very appropriate spring-time look!

3.) Navy and Ivory. It doesn't get much more classic than navy and white (or in this case, ivory). I immediately think of Ralph Lauren - blues, whites, with touches of sterling silver and maybe even a little leather or wood. Femine AND masculine, sure to please the bride and groom.
PS - I am love with these flowers (anemones)

4.) Pink and Navy. So pretty and spring-timey! I love the way the hot pink pops against the navy and the pale pink softens the whole look to keep it romantic and add some depth.

5.) Navy and Yellow - I have never, ever seen this color combo at a wedding, but I love it! I am a sucker for anything nautical and I just love the clean, classic look of navy against bright yellow.

6.) Navy and Burnt Orange. Again, never seen this color combo at a wedding and I know it sounds kind of whackadoodle, but I am in love :) Orange and Navy are opposites on the color wheel, so they compliment each other beautifully. When I see this color palette, it makes me think of rich, sumptuous fabrics and saturated colors.
