Early September wedding, would coral and violet work? Or is that over kill?

Add another color or not? Hunter green maybe? Or should I pick a neutral one?

Early September wedding, would coral and violet work? Or is that over kill?
It would be overkill for me. But, if you like it, that's what's important--it is your wedding after all.
Reply:overkill, not a good idea, take light autumn colors.
Reply:i would go with either coral and colors near it in color OR violet with pink, white, cream. i think you may have it right, coral and violet may be too much visually together.
Reply:personally, I cant picture those colours for a september wedding. even if it is early september. once septmeber hits I start to picture more fall colours. like maybe a burnt orange or the hunter green as the main colour. if you have your heart set on coral or violet then choose one or the other, but both together is too much...those colours just dont go together and hunter green doesnt really work with either colour well.
Reply:Yes it is overkill not only because they are both strong colors, but because of the season clash and also because the colors well...clash themselves. I don't mean to pick at your taste or offend you, but unless you found the *right* hues to match your bridal party, it's gonna look tacky.



Since it's early September, it's still sorta summer but not quite fall-- find a color group that falls in that category. For example, green would be good, but a neutral green such as sage green would work well. Hunter green is more suited to when it's closer to October or even in March.



If you like the coral color family, consider some alternatives. Find a coral that's a bit darker and has an orange undertone-- the undertone will make it late summer suitable and still fall within your taste. Take a look at this:

That color may not suit you, but it gives a start in looking for some colors.



Maybe consider alternatives for violet-- I actually think a shade of violet may work better. Here try this site and then follow my directions:

It should take you to the David's Bridal mix and match separates. Once you're there, click on the center picture's options, where it says "cabernet/dahlia". Maybe this combination of coral and violet could work? It's definately nice for a late summer wedding.
Reply:I love coral, but violet doesn't go. Pick a neutral shade like silver sage green, or sandlewood beige or medium brown.

I would pick a nuetral to balance out the two strong ones yeah, although something like the hunter green you are talking about when dark is going to be a nuetral.



You have a light color with the coral, a meduim color with the violet so pick a dark color to get a balanced spectrum.



Refer to earlier advice about the paint chips. What's over kill to one person may just be cheery to some one else....it's all a matter of personal taste with you and your fiancee.
Reply:Honey, are you colorblind? I don't want to be mean but Coral, violet, and hunter green has to be one of the worst color combinations I can think of. How about a nice neutral brown and use coral or violet as an accent color (not both)
Reply:It depends on your personality. Would you wear those colours together on a normal day? If yes, go for it!! If no, you probably won't be comfortable with that colour scheme on your wedding day. Aim for something that expresses the real you- taking the groom into account of course!
Reply:Not the best colours luv, Coral and off White would be beautiful.
