First of all…can you believe the contests these last few days! I am just SO eternally grateful for all of your wonderful feedback, I am jumping at chances to give you guys a little something. So, our next contest will conclude at the end of day on Friday.
Because you all were so helpful when we were launching our last Abby Jean design, we thought who better to ask about our newest color palette dilemma. Our silhouette invitation line, Sophie, is really taking off. For the new season, we wanted to offer it in a secondary color with personalized silhouettes! But we just can’t decide which palette we like the best!
Here are the options (click on them to make larger)…
So…let us know which one you like the best! More importantly, which one you would buy for your own wedding! We will choose a random winner who will receive a set of 25 personalized stationery and coordinating envelopes!
Comment by Tracy on 8 January 2008:
Definitely choice C. The blue and green are so fresh and crisp and definitely in season for the spring. I love the modernity of the lines but the vintage feel of the silhouettes. Just lovely!
Comment by Catherine on 8 January 2008:
I really like D, but I would be more likely to buy C (am guessing my BF would veto the pink). So, my vote goes for C. I really love that color combo regardless.
Comment by Joy on 8 January 2008:
Ooooh Abby! These are beautiful!
I’m going to vote for Option D - hands down. The shades of Platinum & Pink you choose are great. They are chic, romantic and classy.
If I had to vote for #2, I’d go with option B. I love the way that bright, fresh green compliments the pink - it love to attend that wedding!
Comment by Johanna on 8 January 2008:
I am partial to Option C. I have always loved that color combination.
Comment by Jackie on 8 January 2008:
I really like the color combo of Option D!
Comment by Maria on 8 January 2008:
Option C - I think these colors would be perfect for any season
Comment by Lia on 8 January 2008:
I would choose option A for my own wedding. The colors are not too “themed,” but evoke the feeling of classic, vintage personality mixed with a modern vibe. That is what I feel like the bride who would choose this silhouette set would be going for in her wedding. Still timeless, but with a fresh take with the navy font coloring. I also love how it makes the silhouettes stand out, without overusing black or chocolate.
Comment by Melody on 8 January 2008:
I love the pink & platinum combo…it is stunning!
Comment by Carrie on 8 January 2008:
I’m definitely liking Option C — I like D, too, but at least online the pink seems a little subdued….so I vote for C!
Comment by cindy on 8 January 2008:
The first thing I thought of when I saw the platinum and pink is my oldest daughter who just became engaged two days ago. My thought was that her ring is a gorgeous platinum with a lot of sparkle and the pink is the beautiful color of her skin when I first saw her twenty-four years ago.
Comment by Alissa on 8 January 2008:
I have to vote for A! I picked it before I even looked at the rest of the color schemes. Its so different, really something you dont see often. Its preppy and sophisticated, yet the navy text almost makes it playful. I immediately started thinking about how fun the groomsmen’s striped ties would be:-) Beautiful!
Comment by molly on 8 January 2008:
I love option B! Pink and Chocolate! Probably because those colors, along with the green accent color, are remarkably close to my wedding colors. But they are all really lovely. Second vote goes to option A.
Comment by christa on 8 January 2008:
C -definitely
love the silhouettes in that light blue…so sweet.
Comment by Amanda on 8 January 2008:
I really love option C. Green is a big theme for our wedding and i love finding different tones! Absolutely beautiful.
Comment by Laura on 8 January 2008:
I like Option A- the navy blue is different, but I really like it!
Comment by Robyn on 8 January 2008:
I really like C…the blue is such a classic color, but the invites are wonderfully current- exactly what it seems abby jean is all about!
Comment by Tara on 8 January 2008:
C! Rain & Chocolate. Hands Down
Comment by Amanda on 8 January 2008:
Definitely C…my wedding colors!
Comment by Viola on 8 January 2008:
They’re all lovely! I love option C but if they are to be presented as an alternative to the original Sophie colors, I would go with option D because this palette is so uniquely different from the original Sophie.
Comment by Lynne on 8 January 2008:
Combo C! Combo C! I wish I could find more like that for my invites.
Comment by Ms Polka on 8 January 2008:
I love C, but think I’d go with D, is it bad to have your wedding colours like your blog colours? You can’t go wrong with those colours! (It looks more similar than B!)
Comment by redroses on 8 January 2008:
option D! I like the softer color of the silhouettes.
Comment by jane on 8 January 2008:
I really like C the best. Seems the most timeless.
Comment by Hailey on 8 January 2008:
I like Option C the best. It just feels really fresh and modern. It would be a great color pallette for any season. Option B would be a second favorite for the vibrant colors and cheery, preppey appeal. I can picture it with fabulous argyle and little sweaters with vintage brooches.
Comment by Nairi on 8 January 2008:
I will definately pick A. The navy adds something to these invitations which makes them different than a lot of others. Although, some weddings won’t initially have that color, the pinkish shade and chocolate are being worked into a lot of weddings. So, they will still coordinate with a lot of events. Also, the colors could be used interchangably between spring, summer and Fall.
Comment by Whitney Munroe on 8 January 2008:
My vote would also have to go for Option C…the rain and chocolate color combination is so different and unique, and it would easily work for every season. It is also the one I would choose for my own wedding, which is a fall wedding. It’s a fantastic combination! Way to go Abby! They’re all fabulous though!
Comment by Beth on 8 January 2008:
Definitely B- Pink and Brown seem to be very popular these days, in fact I know 3 2008 brides using this palette…I will have to share your invitations with them!
Comment by Andrea on 8 January 2008:
Option “A” is definitely my choice. I’m a little worn out with all the brown that’s been so popular in 2007. It seems to be everywhere…weddings, nurseries, home decor.
Something about the Navy is so classy.
Comment by Kristi on 8 January 2008:
Option C!
I like D too but like Catherine said above, my other half probably would not think the pinks is as fabulous as I do!
Comment by Bethany on 8 January 2008:
I adore the platinum and pink! Isn’t it funny how your taste slightly changes shortly after your own wedding? These are so beautiful. Option D!
Comment by Erika on 8 January 2008:
Option A is bold and daring…like the doritos commerical. And that’s what some brides including me are…bold and DARING!
Comment by Erika on 8 January 2008:
Option A is bold and daring…like the doritos commerical. And that’s what some brides including me are…bold and DARING!
Comment by Mary on 8 January 2008:
I would definitely choose D: Platinum and Pink — it is so elegant and classy!
Comment by Rachel on 8 January 2008:
I would choose A, there is so much of the chocolate brown and blue to choose from these days. And I think it’s hard to get the men to go with pink!
Love them!
Comment by Cara on 8 January 2008:
LOVE A, I too am tiring of BROWN…. and I like that it’s used minimally, also that shade of pink isn edgy ! LOVE IT.
Comment by Katie on 8 January 2008:
I like them all, but the dark blue, light blue, and green would compliment my wedding pallette beautifully!
Comment by Stacy on 8 January 2008:
Ohh! I love B and D. So pink and delicate looking!
Comment by Tiffany on 8 January 2008:
Option D! I love pink and gray.
Comment by molly on 8 January 2008:
I vote option B: because i love the 2 shades of pink that are subdued enough but bright enough for a crisp spring wedding
Comment by Melanie on 8 January 2008:
They’re all beautiful, but my hands-down choice is C.
Comment by Krista on 8 January 2008:
Option D is the most elegant to me. The pink and grey combo is subtle enough but equally has the best balance between modern and classic. Go for it!
Comment by Rebecca on 8 January 2008:
I really like A–it’s classic & fresh. Some of the others–especially D–seem familiar.
Comment by Casie C on 8 January 2008:
I like option C, those are actually the colors that I am using for my wedding in October. I just love brown paired with blue and green.
Comment by victoria on 8 January 2008:
Love D! feminine and romantic yet modern and flirty
Comment by Jessie Jo on 8 January 2008:
Option C looks like the ocean crashing into the forest, i love the contrast, definately a FUN wedding theme!
Comment by Elissa on 8 January 2008:
Personally, I love option A, it is neither to feminine nor too masculine. It is delicately balanced so He doesn’t feel put off by the girly touches, yet feminine enough for her to still have Her style shine!
Comment by Vane on 8 January 2008:
Definitely option C…I’ve never been one for pinks….you cant go wrong with greens and blues.
Comment by Nikki on 8 January 2008:
The third one instantly jumped out at me! I love the color combo.
Comment by Meghan on 8 January 2008:
I love love LOVE option C! The blue/brown combo is simple and classic, and my fav by far!
Comment by Elena on 8 January 2008:
Option C will do best, I think. I really like D, but the fiancee would never go for anything pink.
Comment by Jesse on 8 January 2008:
I love option B. I can totally picture the preppy garden wedding to go with them.
Comment by simplesong on 8 January 2008:
Love them all! Especially like A.
Comment by marriah on 8 January 2008:
Although option C is the color combo I’m using for my wedding, I feel that the style of the invitation fits best with option A. Not sure why, but its the color combo that feels the most appropriate for the this invite style.
Comment by b-lam on 8 January 2008:
I’m a fan of “A”. I am thinking of using that colour combination for my wedding. Seeing you use it this way makes me more confident of my decision!
Comment by its lovely on 8 January 2008:
I love the subtle elegance of Option D. (They’re all stunning, though. So hard to choose just one!)
Comment by its lovely on 8 January 2008:
I love the subtle elegance of Option D. (They’re all stunning, though. So hard to choose just one!)
Comment by melissa on 8 January 2008:
definitely D!
Comment by rebecca on 8 January 2008:
they are all gorgeous!
i would definitely have to choose the pink and platinum for our wedding though.
Comment by Anna on 8 January 2008:
C. I think brides AND grooms will like this one. The market is a bit over saturated with the brown/pink and pink/green combos.
Comment by mindy on 8 January 2008:
love option B - particularly with the subtle addition of the chartreuse coloring on the reception card. all of the color combos are lovely, but for this one, option b it is!
Comment by Georgia on 8 January 2008:
1st - Option C
2nd - Option D
Comment by Stephanie on 8 January 2008:
A, or D. I think chocolate is a little too over-used at this point…it’s still pretty, but no longer new. I read an interview with one of the specialists who attends the yearly “color meetings” (designers from every field, forecasting the newest colors and combinations for the upcoming year, I think it was a NYTimes Magazine article…) and she mentioned that grey, and greyer tones of colors were going to be seeming more popular and fresh in this year. I think I’m already seeing it, and it’s part of why I like D. I also like D because the platinum makes the pink new and fresh again. A is great also, because it’s innovative. Compared to B, for example, which include a color combination we all love, but how many handbags and belts have we seen in pink and green? The navy, in contrast really sets you apart as a designer for the freshest, “now-est” weddings, which is what I would be looking for in invitation…combinations I hadn’t seen yet before. Stunning work, altogether; a treat to view.
Comment by Tara on 8 January 2008:
Definitely option B!!!
Comment by ChellyUOP on 8 January 2008:
Definely Option B! I choose pink and brown for my own wedding because it reminds me of my favorite dessert- chocolate covered strawberries! It’s a nice warm cozy color palete, with a pop of green to make it fun and fresh.
Comment by teri blauer on 8 January 2008:
Id say choice B, just because it goes with my colors the best. The pallet is a lot like the wallpaper in the victorian mansion we’re using. Also, I feel like the figures in brown have the most pressence.
My second favorite would be C tho. Its pretty, but not overly femmenin
Comment by Stephanie on 8 January 2008:
I vote for A. There’s just something so chic and classic about the navy.
Comment by Charmi on 8 January 2008:
i love option b. i love the dark contrast of the silhouettes with the bright pink and green colors.
Comment by fatafelice on 8 January 2008:
A. Absolutely.
I love how classic navy is and how well it mixes with other colors, like the pink and chocolate here. I like navy so much that it will be the most prominent color in my wedding.
Comment by Abbie in CO on 8 January 2008:
Our colors are green and blue, so C would be my first choice. There is something very classic about option D, though. All of the options are great combinations!
Comment by AIR on 8 January 2008:
Hmmmm. This is a toughie. From a trend standpoint I feel that D is most cutting-edge; however, with the strong emphasis on going green, I believe that brides will be incorporating the color green into their palettes as they incorporate green strategies. It is so fresh and very much “in” due to the going green phenomena (which is great for Mother Earth!). Sooooooo, I’m going with C. Rain and Chocolate….oooowwww…what if it rained chocolate? Yum.
Comment by Lindsay on 8 January 2008:
Absolutely option D–the platinum and pink. The look is appropriate for any time of year, it’s fresh without being cutesy, and it is feminine without being overly “girly.” I love it!
Comment by Sara on 8 January 2008:
Hands down D….it is beautiful and I would want it for my own!
Comment by Wendy on 8 January 2008:
Option D - Pink and Platinum
Comment by Kate on 8 January 2008:
Pink and Platinum!! My two favourite words! Put them together on my wedding invitation and does it really get any better than that! Pink for the little girl within us all - Platinum for the ring every girl dreams of! Perfection!
Comment by Pam Horst on 8 January 2008:
Love option C - unexpected and fresh. something new…its what wedding invites need to be!
Comment by Marita on 8 January 2008:
Definitely Option D! This is both my favorite and the one I’d order for my wedding!
Comment by Linda on 8 January 2008:
Option D platinum & pink for sure! I LOVE how classy the colors are. They have a vintage and modern feel all at the same time. It is also something that I would for sure use for my own wedding and I’m sure many others would, too. In fact I love it so much I am considering using it for my own wedding.
I would LOVE to see an inspiration board for a wedding using those colors.
Comment by phyllis on 8 January 2008:
i really love C & D but i would personally go with C b/c i think all of the elements work — also love that blue. D is so gorgeously soft and vintage looking but you lose the impact of the silhouettes with the light color. and that should really be the showcase of the invitation, especially since the silhouettes are personalized =)!
Comment by Bree on 8 January 2008:
I am most drawn to color palette C, however, I think it could be stronger if the actual silhouette was chocolate so that it contrasted the paper more.
It is really a beautiful suite.
Comment by Nomi Nickel on 8 January 2008:
Option D - I go for subtle every time.
Comment by Sara L on 8 January 2008:
They are all georgeous! But I’d pick C, a very Tiffanys feel to it, me like!
Comment by Svea on 9 January 2008:
I choose C because just this week, my fiance and I have chosen the chocolate and the green as our wedding colors. including the rain is a wonderful idea!
Comment by Christina on 9 January 2008:
Something blue like option C
Comment by maria on 9 January 2008:
I would get option C, cause I love those colour combinations…
I’m a blue/greeny type of girl
Comment by sam ellis on 9 January 2008:
I would choose option D - I love the colour combination. Not too girly !
Comment by lucky designs on 9 January 2008:
Option C - Not only do I like the color combination, but I think my husband would too. He was wonderful about being involved in wedding planning!
Comment by Heidi on 9 January 2008:
I love option B because it is all things spring…..the chocolate is masculine enough for the groom, but the sweet pink and the garden green accent are fresh, like candy coating around smooth chocolate. What bride wouldn’t love that?! How pretty!
Comment by perfect bound on 9 January 2008:
Beautiful Abby. You always amaze me. Go with A. Silhouettes should be classic and bold. The blue you picked for A is perfect. The light colors in C and D start to disappear the more I look at them. And a silhouette should be lasting.
Comment by Laura Edgar on 9 January 2008:
Hi Abby! I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now - even though I didn’t discover it until just AFTER my own wedding. I really wish I would have known about it when I was doing my planning - you have such spectacular ideas. I recommend it to my friends all the time.
As far as the invites go - I love option D. My wedding colors were pink and chocolate - but I love the idea of the platinum and the shades you chose are beautiful. Romantic and classic - my favorite.
Comment by Laura on 9 January 2008:
Absolutely B Pink and Chocolate. I think the combination of the delicious chocolate with the bold pink and green is fabulous and just happens to accent my wedding!
Comment by lyc on 9 January 2008:
(b) or (c). (a) is a little too sailboat race and (d) is a little too bland, i think.
Comment by chinglish on 9 January 2008:
C - Rain & Chocolate. I love greens and chocolates - those are our wedding colours but I love how you added the blue to it - I would never have thought that and it works beautifully! Love the name too, two of my favourite romantic things
Comment by KMac on 9 January 2008:
Option B matches the colors of my wedding and has such a fresh fun look, but my absolute favorite is option D. The colors helped to make the invitations look soft & elegant. They’re simply beautiful!
Comment by Kim on 9 January 2008:
Option D is lovely. It reminds me of the cherry blossom trees that bloom in mid-spring. Those trees — and these invitations — announce the beginning of wedding season with such beauty.
Comment by Annette on 9 January 2008:
They are all so pretty. But I would choose Option A, with a mixture of preppy chic and a twist of vintage whimsy, its would be a great theme for a wedding I am planning!
Comment by Brigid on 9 January 2008:
Ooh, this is a tough choice! That said, I would pick Option A…it has a classy feel and reminds me a bit of the colors from Lily Pulitzer’s new(ish) navy streak!
Comment by Laura Summers on 9 January 2008:
Option B!
Comment by tlw on 9 January 2008:
I love the color combinations! I like C, because it’s the most unique. I’d bet that B or D would sell the most though.
Comment by Jamie Z on 9 January 2008:
Option C definately-fresh, classic colors all wrapped up in one beautiful package (I’m partial to the green!)
Comment by Krysta on 9 January 2008:
I vote for option D. So beautiful and elegant!
Comment by Erica on 9 January 2008:
I vote Option A. I feel like navy blue is having a big comeback, and it feels so fresh. I may be partial though because I’m using navy in my own wedding in May!
Comment by DLB on 9 January 2008:
I like A…only because I think it’s the most groom friendly. They’re all beautiful and I’m sure any bride would be thrilled to have them.
Comment by Kelly on 9 January 2008:
D, hands down. SO classic, so chic, and so Abby Jean! These colors alone could influence a fabulous inspiration board!
Comment by Sari on 9 January 2008:
My first time posting…I couldn’t resist with these beautiful invitations. I love the chocolate and pink option. It is so fresh and inviting. It reminded me of watermelons and chocolate - perfect for the beautiful summer wedding.
Comment by sasha on 9 January 2008:
These are beautiful…but am I the only one that thinks silhouettes are reaching a saturation point? They are absolutely everywhere! Anyway, I vote for C…
Comment by sasha on 9 January 2008:

Comment by katie on 9 January 2008:
A! navy is the new brown!
Comment by Danielle on 9 January 2008:
Option B…very fresh colors.
Comment by Dena on 9 January 2008:
Definitely D!
Comment by Krista on 9 January 2008:
Oh, I would buy pink and chocoalte, for sure!
Comment by Lila on 9 January 2008:
I like option A, but probably because my colors include Navy blue. I think choice D, the pink and brown is very simple and sweet. It would likely coordinate with a lot of wedding colors.
Comment by mandy on 9 January 2008:
Option A is hands down my pick! I love how all the colors are incorporated. Navy is definately a color that is making a bold statement in fashion right now. Two years ago navy was very sparse in stores, and now designers, like Kate Spade and Diane Von Furstenberg, are incorporating navy into their newest trends. In my opinion pink and green / green and brown are on the downward side of the curve. Navy will be the newest hot color to have! This design is very preppy chic, and I absolutely adore it!
Comment by amy on 9 January 2008:
I personally like the blue, brown and green or the purple hues.
They all look fantastic though.
Comment by Anne-Marie on 9 January 2008:
Option D. I think this is the perfect mix of both feminine (pink) and masculine (platnium). I think brides can get away with using the pink that their fiances think is too girly when it’s mixed with such a strong, masculine color like platnium and of course those amazing silhouettes.
Comment by Violet on 9 January 2008:
I’m loving option D. There is something so ethereal about the colour combination; absolutely gorgeous. Definitely the one I’d pick for my own wedding!
Comment by Cami on 9 January 2008:
I love Option D - the Platinum and Pink. There is such an understated elegance about it that is stunning!
Comment by mia on 9 January 2008:
Option D is my pick. I think the femininity of the pale pink is offset by the platinum grey- creating the perfect balance. (How appropriate for a wedding invitation!)
Comment by Kelly on 9 January 2008:
Option C - that’s my color palette.
Comment by tiki267 on 9 January 2008:
I love D, but would choose C for my own wedding.
Comment by Cynthia on 9 January 2008:
I give Option A and A+! The all navy ink on white is traditional but not ordinary. And the navy and pink combination is spunky, but the brown reigns it back in so it’s not crazy. I’ve seen the other color combos before, so while they are lovely, they just don’t have the same umpf as Option A. I’d choose it for my wedding!
Comment by eliza on 9 January 2008:
my favorite is option B but i think it’d be a little more cohesive if either a) the invitation card wasn’t all one color (one of the colors from the reception card was included on the invitation card) or b) the color from the invitation card was incorporated into the reception card (the text perhaps as i’m finding that green a bit difficult to read).
i also really love option D but (and maybe it’s just my wacked out monitor) the text looks brown and the platinum on the reception card looks taupe.
Comment by eliza on 9 January 2008:
sorry for the second post.
i also meant to say that the text on option D might be a little hard for older eyes to read.
Comment by Rebecca on 9 January 2008:
I LOVE option D! What girl doesn’t like a little pink as a bride! Also the pink and platinum can be such a great color scheme for a wedding, it can be glamourous, elegant, modern, girly, I LOVE IT!
Comment by Sarah on 9 January 2008:
I love the rain and chocolate combination. Especially with that lime green on the reception card. Great combination!
Comment by julie on 9 January 2008:
i love your blog abby! I help out at cat’s studio and i love your album. my vote would be for C…the blue green one is so perfect and i know my BF would like it.

Comment by Lucy on 9 January 2008:
Definitely A!
Comment by cyndi on 9 January 2008:
I think they’re all gorgeous but Option C (rain + chocolate) is the one that “speaks” to me. The combo of the colors really make me smile and I find the blue to really pop off the page. Beautiful!

Comment by Paola on 9 January 2008:
I love the first one!! Those colors fit in with the preppiness of the boy/girl images.
Comment by elizabeth on 9 January 2008:
Well, can i choose two, but for very different reasons? i think option A, in the navy blue is perfection, it’s elegant and graceful, it works well for a couple and carries with it the impact of understated elegance, in short it can never go out of style yet still has personality! i think navy would be an excellent classic, and i would use it myself in a heartbeat! however, seeing option B in the pink & chocolate i almost wonder if it would also be good to have a second option in the line, a seasonal version that changes with the different color palettes of a wedding, i see that pink i think gorgeous spring wedding, yet still simple and elegant. it completely accomplishes a romantic and bright color scheme, but still seems subtle and lovely. just a thought, that the Navy might be the ever-classic standard, but the pink could work for spring & summer as a fun, seasonal, option that might change up for fall & winter!
Comment by Wendy on 9 January 2008:
I love palette D. In fact those are close to the colours I’m going with for my wedding - charcoal grey accented with dusty pink, or alternatively eggshell blue or a complimentary green.
I think the design is stunning, and I think it would be amazing with the colours reversed. Light pink silhouettes and text popping off a platinum background.
Chocolate seems to be everywhere as a anchor colour at the moment, and I think platinum or greys work just as well, and I think are a cleaner, lighter alternative.
But saying that - I do love them all!
Comment by Darci on 9 January 2008:
I love option C! The name “rain” is fantastic for a color, and paired with the green it seems so fresh. Great work!
Comment by Heather Grow on 9 January 2008:
I like C. It’s very pretty and it would work for any season.
Comment by Emilt on 9 January 2008:
Oh I definitely would have gone with the brown and pink - perfect for my wedding - but the little splash of green makes it perfect for spring as well!
Comment by Ashley on 9 January 2008:
I’m partial to C, but A would be my next choice. I wouldn’t have thought to put the green and light blue together, but it definitely works. Gorgeous invites! I love the idea of personalizing the silouette.
Comment by Amanda Guccione on 9 January 2008:
i LOVE the Navy Blue. I think the invite has such a pretty chic vibe, and the navy really brings that out!
Comment by Robin on 9 January 2008:
Personally, I love A because it is very classic and elegant but still has that twist of whimsy that every bride is looking for. I feel that the other colors will end up pin-pointing you to this time frame when those colors were popular. Hi..teal or avocado anyone?
Comment by ellen on 9 January 2008:
Oooh. Toughie … C or A would be my vote.
Comment by lauren on 9 January 2008:
I love B…those colors look like such a FUN, modern spring or summer wedding!
Comment by Mary on 9 January 2008:
B gets my vote! I can’t help my preppiness so I have to vote for the pink and green
Comment by Jen on 9 January 2008:
I love option C! I love your blog! It’s one of my everyday reads. It has so many great ideas and I love you’re so supportive of collaborating with new designers and vendors. Thanks for the inspo!
Comment by Lexie on 9 January 2008:
Option “A” definitely…so preppy-chic!
Comment by deanna on 9 January 2008:
platinum and pink - its perfect.
Comment by Jennifer on 9 January 2008:
If I were having a wedding “today”, I’d probably be using B – pink and chocolate. Both colours have been everywhere the past few years (my own wedding colours were chocolate and apple green!) which means they are on the verge of being ‘out’. That said, I’d go with option C – rain and chocolate. The colours pick up on the “earth-friendly” trend of weddings, but not overtly so. It is a fresh, clean, optimistic palette!
Comment by Alexis on 9 January 2008:
Hands down I choose option D. The platinum and pink combo is a little unexpected these days, and so classy. The other ones are very popular recently, but I’d go with the sweetest one, I think people will respond.

B is what I’d choose for my wedding. In fact, pink and green are the colors we’re using for our June wedding so it would be perfect! I do agree that over-doing it on the pink isn’t very man-friendly, so C fab too because it’s fresh, modern and gender-neutral.

I’m sorry if I am voting twice again! I like C the best. The color combination is so unique and beautiful. I can see B and D selling the most though. Good job. I am so jealous of your skills.
Comment by Amy on 9 January 2008:
Option B, it has such a modern, summery feel! And the color combination isn’t as cookie-cutter as some of the others, but of course all are beautiful choices!
Comment by laura on 9 January 2008:
C! Definitely. Love the green in it!
Comment by emiliana on 9 January 2008:
I vote for Option B! I think the silhouettes look the best in brown, while the other colors make them seem more cartoon-ish. They are all nice though! You did a great job with the layouts. I would love to receive these invitations.
Comment by Kena on 9 January 2008:
C, for sure. It would make a good complement to the other palette since it gives a stronger casual/hip/trendy vibe then the other.
Comment by Jen on 9 January 2008:
C. Definitely C.
Comment by julia on 9 January 2008:
I just love them all! …But, I would totally go with option D - I think it is truly modern and classic at the same time. Just lovely.
Comment by Nicole on 9 January 2008:
I would have to go with D, as well. While I LOVE the other combos (esp C!), this palette is classic and timeless, like the others have stated. It has an elegance that will go with many weddings.
Comment by soon2BmrsJackson on 9 January 2008:
i heart navy. so, i vote for the combo A.
Comment by Grace on 9 January 2008:
Both C and D look wonderful - but if I had to pick one for myself I would pick C because it looks very classy and simple. I think the green/pink color combination is overdone (even though I used to love it, it’s starting to look a little cliche).
Comment by momotchi on 10 January 2008:
mhhhhh I’d really go for the D, because these are exactly my planned colors! so cute. however, the rain & pink option looks great, and I heard that this teal color is very 2008…
hope this will help you!
Comment by Tanya on 10 January 2008:
I love option C. It looks clean and refreshing…just like rain =)
Comment by la fille on 10 January 2008:
Extremely partial to option C since green is my primary wedding color! simply lovely as always!
Comment by Anne on 10 January 2008:
Well, option A is done in my wedding colors, so of course I love it. But, I think most people would choose option D because the color scheme is so muted, romantic, and lovely, so I’ll vote for option D.
Comment by katie on 10 January 2008:
Choice C. It would be easier to sell this color combo to a very interested future husband who wants to avoid the invites seeming to feminine.
Comment by Brooke on 10 January 2008:
There’s just so much to love about all of these designs! Option A is very preppy-chic, it makes me think of a wedding at a boat club or New England University. While option B would be gorgeous at a outdoor spring wedding at a whimsical inn, I can see a candy buffet, maybe even cotton candy in cones for dessert. And C is such a great choice for a modern museum wedding, where the theme is not too masculine or feminine, just contemporary. However, the one that stands out the most to me, the one I feel would appeal to the largest audience, is Option D. This is the palette I believe is not clearly defined in any one “season”. The first three choices have very strong seasonal aspects, I see summer, spring, and fall respectively. However D gives you the greatest versatility. In spring with popsicle h’ors doeuvres, or for a summer event in a manor garden. Even fall would be lovely, with grey bridesmaids dresses and pink sashes, to convey the mood of the coming of winter with that last shot of color. And winter, for a wedding in an arboretum or greenhouse, with pink-hued icicles and sparkly lights hidden in the plants. This would definitely be the palette I would choose for my own invitations, it’s subtle, elegant, and gives you a “wow” factor without screaming “LOOK AT ME!”
Comment by citygirl on 10 January 2008:
Option A. The navy and salmon really pop together.
Comment by Kathryn on 10 January 2008:
I would vote for B. I haven’t chosen color combo for my wedding yet, but I love those colors!
Comment by amberto on 10 January 2008:
I like options A and C as well - my wedding colors are option A only swap the green in option C for the pink that is in A. Oh I’m sorry - you wanted a definitive answer? I choo-choo-choose…OPTION A!
Comment by Shannon on 10 January 2008:
Option B! The vibrant colors draw my eyes in. Not to mention apple green and pink are my wedding colors…so I am a little biased.
Comment by Kelly on 10 January 2008:
Option C: I love the blue, green, and brown combination.
Comment by Melizza on 10 January 2008:
I like option C. It has a very natural feel to it. And it’s pretty classic.
Comment by Julenoir on 10 January 2008:
Nothing beats the timeless prep of Pink and Kelly Green. Option B.
Comment by Lauren on 11 January 2008:
I’m going to have to pick C - It’s all about the color
Comment by Melissa on 11 January 2008:
Definitely option D. It’s so classy and pretty.
Comment by Tara on 11 January 2008:
Option A - the navy blue really ’suits’ the style. it is very classic yet modern and it really draws your attention. i can almost imagine the event based on those navy silhouettes and the fonts. they all are pretty but the navy “pops” for me!
Comment by Christy on 12 January 2008:
Absolutely A! It is incredibly current and classic at the same time. While C is beautiful, it is a little trendy and predictable. The silhouette design is a wonderful way to set the tone for a fun and personal wedding, while the navy gives it a sophisticated edge that is perfect! I love it!

Comment by Leann on 12 January 2008:
B!!! I think these were my wedding colors at birth. Pink, of for being the only girl on my father’s side since they remember and Chocolate because my first memories as a child involved M&M’s
I wish I found these a few months ago!
Comment by LexiFearsWeddingPlanning on 14 January 2008:
C would be the one I can see my betrothed and I both grinning about. Really lovely!
Comment by Lauren on 14 January 2008:
I would choose Option A. This is different and I feel that the pinks & browns and blues & browns combos have been extremely overdone the past few years. I do love the “with browns” combos but it’s so refreshing to see something completely different. Jump off the bandwagon and pick A!!!
Comment by Catherine on 24 January 2008:
I love the pink and chocolate! It looks yummy enough to eat.
Comment by Tina on 29 January 2008:
A for sure, it has that federalist feel that my fiancé and I love and really reflects a strong Americana vibe. It probably has something to do with being from the east cost.
Comment by Courtney DeLaura on 15 February 2008:
i love option C -
really beautiful designs!!!

Comment by Cassidy on 7 April 2008:
I would initially choose option C as it captures my own personal tastes. My hubby-to-be would definatly veto it…he would think it looks too much like our living room ( I love that color combo!) I know that we could be agree on Option A.
