What are good colors for a summer wedding?

I am getting married June of 2008. My mom eloped so I thought I'd let her feel free to help me a little more then probably what she should for my wedding. I am going with a tropical theme because I want to use orchirds for my flowers. My mom thinks I should use the color lime green. Any suggestions on what could match with lime green?

I think lime green is a horrid wedding color. All the bridesmaids in lime green? Ick. Sorry, just IMHO.
Reply:I would say either go with tropical/ hawaiin colors or like easterish colors
Reply:actually white and lime go together... you could also go for pink. just make sure NO orange. that would not be a good color combo. brown would look nice... it's hard to tell w/o the exact shade of green, but make sure it's a sort of natural looking shade, not a garish skating rink sort of color. (my cousin just had her wedding with greens and browns and it looked really nice.) whatever you choose, make sure they look good together... clashing is bad for weddings.


Good luck! I hope you have an amazing wedding!
Reply:I am getting married in July and I am using chocolate brown and sky/river blue. I love it for an outside woodlawn wedding. Beats same old hotel white!
Reply:Go to a fabric store and look at tropical print fabrics that include lime green in the pattern. There should be a few to choose from. The fabric you pick will have more colors than just the green, so you can see what ones you really like.


You can also ask the people at the fabric store to help with colors that go well with lime green. Buy a bit of fabric to use when picking out the other items (napkins, flowers, invitations, etc).


Congratulations!

Reply:pale pink, and orange, those are good colors to go with lime green, really any bright color would look good, bright purples, pinks, etc.
