Navy, Pink and White Wedding Color Palette
Today has been really fun for me…an exercise in beautiful colors! This next color palette is a classic and to me, one that will be around for a long time. Navy, accented with hues of Pink and White…

What I really love about this palette, is that it is both really approachable and yet fun & flirty. It reminds me of a beautiful beachside wedding, one of those late Summer weddings where everything seems so perfect and dreamy.
It’s funny…by simply exchanging one neutral for another (slate for navy) or one accent color (pink for yellow), you can achieve such different looks. The darker color grounds the palette and creates a sense of order, while the accent color adds a wisp of personality.
And speaking of color palettes…the time has come to announce the winner of our Abby Jean Contest! Here is the comment that was chosen…
“I like Option C the best. It just feels really fresh and modern. It would be a great color palette for any season. Option B would be a second favorite for the vibrant colors and cheery, preppy appeal. I can picture it with fabulous argyle and little sweaters with vintage brooches.”

YAY! How awesome! I am honored to be chosen! Thank you!
How pretty! I recently made a pink and navy inspiration board - the feel is a little different, but it's such a wonderful color combination! http://snippetandink.blogspot.com/2008/01/board-102-preppy-miami.html " rel="nofollow">http://snippetandink.blogspot.com/2008/01/board-102-preppy-miami.html />
I love these navy boards! For our wedding in May we are using navy, light blue (or Carolina blue if you're familiar with the ACC), and lime green. We're thinking blue, green and white hydrangeas, and green button mums, bells of ireland and white tulips... I'd love to see what you could do with that color scheme. It's been hard finding images with these colors!
Beautiful boards! I'm planning a navy and green outdoor wedding. Bridesmaid dresses in navy. Can't decide between softer sage greens and bright lime greens. Any ideas on how to decide?
Thanks!
I am planning a navy and pink wedding for next august. I am in love with the navy bridesmaid dress pictured above. Does anyone know where I can get it?
Also wondering where the navy dress is from. Any ideas?
The dress was on Bluefly a while back....I checked and it doesn't look like it's on there anymore. Here is a similar one, though...

I love the idea of navy bridesmaids and pink flowers! But, how should we dress the groomsmen? Can they were navy ties against a black tux? We want to keep things formal...
I am having the same dilemma - I want dark blue (maybe slightly lighter than a true navy) bridesmaid dresses, but was hoping to keep the guys in black tuxes - can that work?
I'm using gray tuxes. I think it will be a nice conrast with the navy.
I am wondering the same thing about the tuxes. Really want the guys in black tuxes, but don't know if it will clash with navy dresses. Anyone have photos they could share of how the navy/black look together?
My maids are wearing long navy dresses and the guys are wearing black tuxes. I think it's a great stylish combo(there are many fashion items out there now with navy and black together) sorry no photo. I'm not sure yet on the flowers. I think I may do bright pink peonies for the maids...but I'm stuck on the centerpiece flowers as my fiance doesn't Love pink. Ideas??
My maids are wearing navy and the guys are wearing navy suits. J Crew has some great navy dresses for the maids. The availability changes with the seasons but the wedding department is great! I got my dresses at Neiman Marcus on sale for $100. The thing I love about the navy is that the girls can wear the dresses again and it is an easy find outside the world of wedding specialty stores. My girls are also wearing hot pink shoes! For Isissa use mostly ivory or white flowers with small accents of pink. Another great thing about pink is you can make a little go a long way!
My bridesmaids are wearing navy dresses, the boys are wearing tan wool garbadine suits w/ lime green ties. We are incorporating different greens (grass, kelly, lime, apple) in the flowers as well as white and a touch of pale pink for contrast.
Meghan- can I ask where did you find the hot pink shoes for your bridesmaids?
