yet again, ladies, I have to thank you ALL for wonderful advice, tips, links and thoughts. SO useful – it’s getting me all goosebumpy and I can’t wait to start the preparations in earnest!

Erin,
I love the idea of the bright yellow and lime green. That was going to be my other suggestion for a “must-have” yellow…. Think lemon and lime (which would make incredible centerpieces!!)

I am quite partial to the black/white with yellow color (colour!) palatte, as that’s what I used!

Despite the fact that I used this for fall (golden yellow), I think it would look beautiful for your event against the neutrals, especially if done in an array of yellow tones – butter, lemon, golden, SUNSHINE! You could even throw in some grass green to up the springtime element.

Ah! You have no idea how helpful this has been for me. I have been struggling with almost the exact same thing. I am currently obsessed with charcoal and love it with everything. We’re getting married in the summer, outside of this beautiful stone gothic building. Everyone has been trying to convince me that charcoal is just going to blend in with the stones and look so boring and too drab for a summer evening wedding! These are such great ideas though. I was thinking about going with a really pale buttery yellow and a little bit brighter almost french blue, but now I’m loving the idea of bright yellow and maybe some lime? Too much? I’m so indecisive….

I’m wondering how dark the gray is. Since gray is a tint of black, you really have nothing to worry about there. Black and white weddings are very elegant, but so over done! Throwing in one color in many shades can be a nice change, but since you have the opportunity, look at what else is out there!

Don’t be afraid to experiment with color combos! If you’re set on yellow, why not pair it up with a hot pink or fusia flowers? If you’re open to other ideas, look at a bright blue paired with lime green for a bold look. For something softer, pale orange (or mango) with lilac could be really pretty!

I think that actually sounds perfect for spring. Spring is kind of a time of “rebirth”. It is rainy and stormy, but it also produces beautiful flowers and the return of birds.

Here is what I thought of when I read your description:
