Dancing in Color

As soon as Mr. Rogue and I got engaged I have been thinking about what colors to choose for the wedding. Ok, lets not kid ourselves I have been thinking about the color scheme for my wedding about a year before he popped the question. To me color is one of the most important decisions to make for a wedding. Until you have it decided you can’t really pick out ANYTHING else.

Originally I wanted to do a bold red for my main color and I was toying with pale blues or greens for an accent color but when that plan got vetoed by Mr. Rogue when I showed him my idea I had to rethink where I was going with the color pallet. As I thought more about the wedding I wanted and looked at inspirational images on the internet and in magazines my thought process did a full 180. I started to think that a black and white wedding, with no other color would be so elegant and understated, plain and simple. Then I learned that my friend Ms. Cutie Pie was doing a black and white wedding and I also started thinking more about how I love color so much and then lastly that black and white is so popular right now. I decided to move back towards my original plan.

I turned to various shades of red. I think that I am much happier with the colors that we finally choose. We are using a raspberry as the main color, for the bridesmaids and the main accents for the flowers, and ice blue as the secondary color to balance out the warm of the raspberry. I really think these colors will go well in an autumn wedding and that the flower color will go well with the hall. I really want the raspberry to stand out and be bold so I am playing with various ideas of how to make this color scheme really stand out. I think this color scheme will stick. Here it is.
