our wedding day story {+ a giveaway}

I’m only 12, but when I get married I would probably pick the colour pewter.

I’m an antique white on white girl so mostly whites with pops of peacock blue, chocolate brown and pink! Touches of lace & antiqued gold finished it of for a purely romantic setting!

Black and white

The color for our wedding was red! I wore a red dress and had red extensions in my hair. I know it may sound strange, but it was done beautifully.

I found my dress in a little store run by two designers for next to nothing- What a find! It had tiny flowers and vines embroidered all over it and I absolutely loved it- the bridesmaid dresses were a wine colour and luckily (weirdly?) ending up matching the flowers on my dress perfectly….
The boys wore black tartan kilts. It was almost 40 degrees that day and we all sweat our butts off- it was fantastic!

bridesmaids wore teal and carried a bouquet of that included a coral gerber daisy…

My bridesmaids wore burgundy dresses and carried bouquets with Stargazer Lillies.

silver-gray worn so beautifully by my sister!

I would choose Navy and a bright, yet dark pink or Navy and Turquoise or Navy and Yellow. My boyfriend is in the Army, so I would need something that goes well with dress blues!

We had lots of colors, pinks, yellows, greens. My flowers were Gerber Daisies so we had lots of pretty colors 🙂

pretty in pink!

Wow, Lisa! You have 838 comments before me, would you read each one of them? I am impressed!
My wedding day was the most blessed but also most saddest day of my life. I had flown from Japan the day before the wedding despite of my family’s protest of not to marry this “American guy”, went to Reno, NV, with my husband and his family, and got married at “The Heart of Reno Chapel”! We chose to get married In Nevada because of my immigrant issues, which resulted not requiring lots of paper works. I was so sad because I had left my family to marry the man I loved(he was stationed in Japan and that was where we met), but I somehow knew this was God’s will. I was jet-lagged, confused, and so overwhelmed! Of course this was the first time to meet his side of family, on the day of my wedding. I didn’t even have a wedding dress, a real flower bouquet, nothing. But I had my new family celebrating the begging of out life, and it was beautiful. That was almost 18 years ago, and God has blessed our marriage, and with three beautiful daughters. We are in love with each other more than ever! I hope to have a renew our wedding on 25th anniversary. I would choose sage/pale green.
Thanks for reading my long comment. I felt like sharing as I love reading your blog often and feel like I know you. Love your wedding pictures, it’s beautiful. May God bless your marriage tremendously!

We got married in the early 90’s… and I chose peach for a theme color. Looking back, I wish I’d never chosen that color. If I had the chance to do it over again, I’d choose a maroon red. But, I wouldn’t change anything else, for I was lucky enough to have married my best friend!

My husband and I have been married 13 years this July. Our bridesmaids wore simple black dresses. Our colors were mainly white, and black with an accent of red. It was very regal and timeless. I can say I would still choose those same colors again today!

Our wedding colors were periwinkle and white with touches of pink in the flowers. Just got back from my little sister’s wedding 🙂

We have the same anniversary. I was married July 24, 1998. I did red as my color. I love seeing your photos!

My colors were cream and a very pale pink. Thanks for the giveaway and congrats on 11 years July!

We eloped so I had a bouquet of yellow roses but I would have loved to use lime green some how.

Our wedding was in November and our favorite color was navy. 🙂

I’ve known my husband for 11 years, but we’ve only been married for 3.

Our colors were emerald green and yellow, with an Irish/earthy theme. We used potted herbs as centerpieces, and stenciled the pots ourselves. Good times!

Our wedding is exactly 50 days from now and I cannot wait! I have known he is the one for me since the day we first met and I am so excited to become his wife! We’ll be having our ceremony on the beach, and right beside the rain forest, then having our reception dinner overlooking the harbour and the forest clad islands of Clayoquot Sound so our colours will be a sea blue, white & a forest green.

I’ve loved your photos this week, the teapots are gorgeous!!

My colors were purple and silver 🙂

My wedding colour was turquoise blue! It is my fav colour & was totally appropriate for my Caribbean wedding 🙂

My colors back in 1994 were forest green and burgandy. It was Christmas.

Still, if it was today I would choose bright aqua for sure!

I’ve LOVED all the pictures from wedding week! SO MUCH FUN!!

Our colors were petal peach, ivory and forest green. YOU TWO LOOK SO SWEET! Thank you for sharing your day!

My colors were black and silver. I did have the pops of color, which included more deep reds, oranges and so forth. It was a beautiful day!!!

slate blue bridesmaid dresses and pink flowers! how i wish i could go back and relive the day again. best and most fun day of my life!

24 years this August. A shrimpy peachy pink color with ivory. It was such a special day. I’ve fallen hard for hydrangea’s these days, so I might choose soft apple green like the limelight’s I have planted with reckless abandon in our yard!

Facebooked it

Our colors were orange, hot pink and yellow for a June wedding!! Mysister is a florist so the flowers were phenomenal and it was also on a budget of less than $2500 eleven years ago!! If I had it to do again I might have the boys wear brown suits and be outside in a field with a super cool barn — but I’d definitely marry the same guy!! (he makes really cute babies!!)

platinum dresses with big, blue hydrangea bouquets!

Enjoy seeing all of the pictures!! I think I’d use pink and brown…but that could change by the time I have the opportunity to pick! 🙂

Thanks for entering me!

We will be celebrating our 20th in just 2 months, on July 14th. We chose Royal blue with pink accents. Looking back it wasn’t a great choice, but hey it was 1990 and those colors were “in” 😉 The truth is, it doesn’t matter what colors you choose/chose, how much your wedding cost, or what music you had. What matters are the years after you say “I do” and choosing to make that commitment again each and every day.

Oh, I love your pieces – they are art!

I used 4 different colors~Pink, turquoise, green and Yellow….Loved it!

Beautiful pictures, We choose beige and sage, it was great!!

I think I would pick some sort of green and lavender combo but I’m not for sure 🙂 by the time I get married I may decide on something way different.

Our wedding was Thanksgiving weekend, so we had thanksgiving colors… brown, yellow, orange. Our center pieces were mini pumpkins hollowed out with potted mums in them. We had tons of pumpkins and gourds as the decorations. The men wore chocolate brown ties, and the girls wore brown dresses. We served a turkey dinner and had pumpkin pie as dessert. It was beautiful (If I do say so myself!) Thank you for the generous giveaway!
AMY

We had a black and white wedding in December.
Girls carried candles in brandy snifters.
I had a blast, would probably do it all over again and not change a thing.
That’s saying a lot for choices made over 20 years ago.

I used ivory and black with pale pink flowers for our wedding. And I still like those colors! Hard to believe that was 18 years ago. Thanks for an opportunity to win!

We were married in June 2002, and although the flowers were mostly red the bridesmaid dresses were plaid (upholstery fabric). It sounds uglier than it looked. I might choose different colors now, but I’d always choose the same guy…

The photos are beautiful, my wedding was in october, we had plum colored dresses…loved it!

Our 6th year wedding anniversary will be on July 23 and it has been the 6th best years of my life. I chose celadon as my wedding color. We used fresh greenery everywhere. My beautiful bridesmaids have lovely irish skin that just doesn’t tan but glistens in celadon. I love your jewelry and your blog.

Our wedding colors were green and cream. So romantic, we were married on the cliff overlooking the ocean! We also had a very small budget.

My SO and I have been together for 24 years and this summer we will finally get married. I never believed we needed a piece of paper to tell us we are committed to each other but the older I get the idea of calling him HUSBAND is very much a heart warming idea. Our wedding colors will be Light Gray and Pale Blue. Thank you for the contest.

Mine was red with a splash of orange (inspired by beautiful multi-colored roses) and a little bit of limey green. Perfect for a fall wedding.

Navy and cream. We had a budget of $3000 and did well with it.

green and pink were our colors!

We used lilac and pink…I loved it! It was such a special day. My 9th anniversary is next week 🙂

Posted on Facebook! I so LOVE your jewelry designs. 🙂

We chose several different shades of purple for our wedding. I loved how the colors turned out and would do the exact same thing all over again.

We were married June 12, 1982. Our colors were dusty pink and gray. I ended up with the pink because that is what color the bridesmaid’s dresses came in. It turned out beautifully and I would not go back and change it. I just remember how much we enjoyed the day and each other! It was very relaxed.

I chose lavender for my bridesmaid dresses, had sterling silver roses in my bouquet and lavender hydrangeas for the center pieces. It was a perfect day in 1997 and I loved my wedding day. If I got married today I would choose turquoise or aqua for my colors because that is my new fav!

Not married yet… but black and maroon.

In just a couple of months (9/01/10) my husband and I will be married 20 years!! The years have flown by and I am so happy that we decided to spend them together! Like you, we have two boys that fill our days with joy – Our bridesmaids wore purple but I had loads and loads of fresh springlike flowers of all colors in our bouquets and on the tables and cakes! I love flowers and a major part of our budget was spent on them.

our wedding was a black and white wedding….super classy! wouldn’t change a thing about that perfect day!

Navy and orange. I made orange sashes to go with navy dresses from Target fr my bridesmaids. They carried peach roses I carried orange. We all wore silver sandals with orange toes.

My colors were a dusty pink and silver… it was a Military wedding, so there was some navy blue thrown in there, too.

Okay, first I have to make the disclaimer that I was married in 1996. That said, my colors were forest green, burgundy and navy blue.

Lisa: Your wedding looks amazing–thanks for sharing. There is no such thing as “wedded bliss” — life experiences, shared joy, sorrow and love will endure. All the best to you and your family in the years to come.

I had a red and white themed wedding as we were married on December 26.

Beautiful pictures. Our wedding was very much us. My husband and I were married on the beach (same spot where we skipped school as high school students) at sunset. Our wedding colors were lime green, bright blue and orange. We were surrounded by friends, tiki torches, and most importantly, we were barefoot.

Beautiful wedding photos! My color was blue and I have never had or wanted anything blue since! Please, please pick me for one of your creations! Have loved them for so long!

Lisa, your wedding was gorgeous! I love the vintage dress, you looked so beautiful in it!

Our wedding was in lavender taffeta. So 80’s! We loved it!

Peach and Champagne in 1991

Beautiful Pictures!!

wow, how great! i think my colors would be brown, cream, and sage, with some dark green thrown in.

btw – my sister in law’s mother’s day necklace is beautiful!

My sister used tangerine in her wedding a few years ago and it was gorgeous! I just wish i had a better tan to go with my bridesmaid dress! 🙂

deep purple, cranberry, and yellow. 8 years in August.

My colors were purple and yellow-Beautiful purple hydrangeas and pale yellow dresses! Ten years ago this August!

If I got married again (to the same man, of course!) I would get married in early September. I would have yellows, red and blues. A nice country feel.

Our colors were yellow and light blue. Our 30th anniversary is Monday May 17.
Joan

Our colors were peach and white. Going on 21 years now!

We had a beautiful blue color. I fell in love with it. I cannot remember if I liked the bridesmaid dresses in that color or if I chose it from the irises on the cake first, but it was gorgeous. I still have some ribbon in the color floating around my house and it makes me smile each time I see it.

I got married in 1983- good grief so many years ago but we are still married. Our colors were mauve (which was a very popular color in the ’80’s along with big hair).

lisa…how fun! thanks for sharing a glimpse of your wedding day with us!
for our wedding…..we used coral for the bridesmaid dresses! it was simple and sweet! i wore “off white” dress…the guys wore a vintage tux and we used lilies for the flowers! i didn’t really care much if all the “details” we met….as long as i ENJOYED our day….and i did! so it was perfect!

Our wedding was blue and white. I would absolutely choose the same colors today. It was such a beautiful day! Our theme was “face to face” and when the song from Alabama came out (coincidentally called Face to Face) I knew it was meant to be our song! After 22 years of marriage we are just as in love today as we were then.

We were married November 1, 2003 and had a VERY autumn themed wedding! It is my favorite season and we went with it! My bridesmaids wore a beautiful burnt orangey red color and our bouquets were shades or burnt red, orange, and yellow. Lots of pumpkins everywhere…it was beautiful!!

Love your wedding photos!!!

Also status updated on FB.

I was married New Year’s Day, so went with traditional Christmas colours – holly berry red, mistletoe white and forest green. You were a beautiful bride and I love your full veil (veils are so under-rated, but they really give a bride a queenly presence)!

Posted it on my blog too!!

http://kinseyandscott.blogspot.com/2010/05/blog-giveaway.html

Just married my sweetheart January 9th and our colors were gold and ivory. Simple but beautiful 😉

turquoise blue and cafe brown!

blogged about it.

I chose pale pink and champagne. Your wedding photos look just lovely!

we had purple and silver for our wedding. my husband gave me (anonymously) a dozen purple roses long before we started dating as a way to encourage me in my ministry work.

When we got married in ’96 I knew I wanted navy blue dresses and that’s what we had! White and silver accents topped it all off. Even after all these years I still love that color combo, but I have to admit with all the amazing colors out there right now…I might go a bit brighter…and maybe a color or two to spice it up. 🙂

we got married fouth of July weekend, so Navy white and red were our colors!

I just love how you create things that keep our loved ones close to the heart!

Pink, everywhere there was pink, but she was worth it.

I chose a soft gold sheath style dress for my bridesmaids. They carried bouquets of will flowers and looked simply lovely! It was simple and sweet and I am so thankful for all of the hands that worked together to make it such a celebration!

Slate-ish bridesmaids dresses and pink peonies for the flowers

Just celebrated 18 happy years with my hubby. My bridesmaids wore burgundy, I wore candlelight – my mom made all the dresses. I know, right? What a wonderful mom I have.

I got married at a winery on 8/8/08 at sunset. I didn’t have actual “colors”, I decorated at the ceremony with sunflowers, and I made my bouquet with wine-colored gerberas, wrapped with a silver ribbon. I decorated the party site with gerbera daisies in a range of colors and white orchids.

for an evening spring wedding I would love a candlelight tea length dress with bridesmaid or bridesmaids in lavender

What beautiful pictures you have of your lovely day! We were married the summer before you and black, white and pink ended up being our colors. I wanted bright flowers for the bouquets but the florist said no, they wouldn’t photograph well. Instead I had pink. Oh how I wish I could do it all over again. I was young, unsure of myself and didn’t know how to stand up for what I wanted.

how fun to reminisce!
26+ years ago our wedding colors were a soft mauve & silver gray with beautiful white roses!
love your wedding theme this week!

My husband and I got married quick in the courthouse thanks to the army. It;s been 5 years and I still haven’t had my “real wedding” yet. My dream colors would be tiffany blue, ivory, pink, and brown. While I do dream of a beautiful wedding, it is the marriage that truly matters

I LOVE Pink and would have loved to have “blush and bashful” for my colors. My husband is not a pink type of guy, so we did black and white with pink ties on the men and pink roses in my bouquet.

Your wedding was beautiful!!
My mother’s colors were Red and Gold…very rich looking… 😉
I’ll think of mine when I get there…

You had me when you said you wore your mothers wedding dress. Sewn by your grandmother. How touching and beautiful! Thanks for sharing such a special day and way you shared with your family.

It will be nine years this August and we had a blue colour theme. As we walked out the church my husband looked at me and said “shall we do that a again” and a I would everyday.

We had our wedding in December…. colors were red, black and ivory. We kept things on the lower budget by using the establishments Christmas decorations and all the fresh snow from the night before for pictures! Was perfect.

Our colors were red, chocolate brown, and champagne. I liked to think of it as chocolate covered strawberries & champagne… all of which we had at the reception!

we got married 3.5 years ago, and our colors were brown and pool blue. the guys wore brown tuxes!

We chose very earthy colors…the bridesmaids wore chocolate brown gowns with ivory sashes. My bouquet was ivory tulips as were the bridesmaids. The mom’s carried their favorite flowers- lilacs. We had a chuppah that my mother and I created. It was a quilt using photos of my husband and I from when we were children up to when we met and got engaged, and was held up with real tree branches and a beautiful assortment of flowers. There were green, ivory, and purple, and copper colors incorporated throughout the wedding. It was exactly what I envisioned and more. It was like being in a mystical forest.

Love those pictures, thank you for sharing your special day. I chose periwinkle and yellow for my colors. I wanted purple but (purple and gold are my husbands college rival colors so I went periwinkle). I have been happily married for 10 years and wouldn’t change a thing…. But if I were getting married today… I might choose green and yellow for my colors.

Facebooked you too! Love your stuff!

I chose burgundy for my wedding — got married in the Fall in New York State.

We had a winter wedding, our colors were champagne, cream, and blush rose.

My bridesmaid dresses were light green and they carried pink flowers. We’ll be celebrating 7 years this July!

Nov. 97 – cranberry, hunter green and ivory…absolutely loved it!

mint green and lilac for an April wedding (99 also)

Oh, also posted this giveaway on FB. 🙂

We were married at my uncle’s ranch and my friend made beautiful wildflower bouquets. Our colors matched the flowers. Bright pinks, purples and oranges. It was fifteen years ago this September.

We got married in November of 2001. We chose black and hunter green. The girls were so pretty in their black velvet with the green bottoms.

My wedding was 22 years ago. I chose pink and white. My oldest daughter is getting married in 8 weeks! She has chosen yellow and white.

My colors for my wedding (which will be two years ago in August) were lilac and silver and light green. My dress had a lilac sash, and my ring bearers & groom had lilac ties/vest. The groomsmen had silver vest. And my bridesmaids had white lace tops with beautiful green skirts. Oh how I miss that day!

We were married 13 years ago on May 31st. The bridesmaids wore sage green and the flowers were a mixed of colors – I wanted them to look like they went out and picked them from a field. Beautiful day – beautiful memories!!!

My hubby and I just celebrated our 13th anniversary on the 10th of May! Wedding week indeed for us!!! I chose the “in” colors that I loved-forest green and burgandy! Today I would choose something more fun and brighter. Maybe orange and red or aqua & brown or lime green with black. My hubby Doug was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 2 1/2 years after we were married and we love to celebrate each day. We are grateful we have each other, or children, our family and friends and grateful for the goodness of God and his role in our life. Thank you for the chance to win! I have 3 of your pieces and love every single one of them!!!

And I facebooked it!

Our wedding colors were baby blue & chocolate brown.

I chose hot pink for my Bridemaids…..We will be celebrating 18 years in July.

our colors were espresso, champagne and pumpkin…fall colors for a Kansas January Wedding!

Our colors were black, white and red, very classic. We just celebrated 16 years on May 1st!

My girls wore simple crimson dresses for a november wedding and carried a mixed bouquet of gerber daisies and roses in fall colors.

My wedding was a mixed floral – peach, purple, blue. The bridesmaids dresses were made of this and I loved it so much I made curtains for my kitchen out of the same fabric when we bought our first house. Thanks for a chance to win. :O)

My wedding colors were all shades of purple! From the light purple hydrangeas in my bouquet to the eggplant of my maid of honor’s dress, it was a purple affair! Get this, of all the things to put his foot down on, my husband chose the color.

We had purple & silver! 8 years ago and I love him even more each day!

For me it was and would still be a deep, rich shade of purple…jewel tones…vivid!

My color was a deep burgundy/wine color. It was a fall wedding!

My wedding colors were lavendar and white. Your creations are amazing!

the colors of our wedding were lavender and all different shades of blues. Sweet memories!

posted on FB 🙂

So beautiful! My colors were bright/dark pink (not hot pink), and baby pink. I had gerbera daisies and some roses. Sounds like you had such a sweet day, and are enjoying an even sweeter life together! 🙂

Our colors were red, chartreuse green, and pink. Sounds kind of weird, but it was beautiful!

Fushia and white. Washington DC. Capitol Hill. May 1989. Beautiful. 21 years and I’d marry him all over again….and I think I’d even pick those same bridesmaids’ dresses and colors….so pretty!

We chose yellow and a sort of sagey green with pink accessories. Thanks for doing a giveaway.

Posted on FB!

blue, silver, white

I would choose grey, green and yellow.

We did navy and white, and I’m still really happy with it. The color was really flattering on all of the bridemaids, and not too trendy. It was clean and simple, which I love.
Happy anniversary! Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway!

I just tweeted about it on Twitter! @kmack143

just retweeted! 😀

Our colors were royal blue (my bridesmaids dresses) and I did accents of peach that matched my bouquet (that was the big splurge of my wedding…I had Equadorian peach roses flown in (!!! my mom picked them up at the airport!). Ahhh, what a great day that was. I wish I could relive it again!

I would chose (now) a blue-grey colour, subtle but classy. Thanks for the chance to win.

When I get married, my colors will be chocolate brown and the flowers will be pink.

Recently I have loved the color red for a wedding. Red apples as decorations inspire me. Luckily I don’t have to chose anytime soon though because I can’t decide if I like bright green or bright blue with the red better. Maybe all three! =)

Tweeted!! =)

almost 11 years ago, my colors were a pale pinky-peach color, ivory and a pale spring green 🙂

added to FB – your work is stunning and beautiful

Our colors were lavendar, yellow and pink. We will celebrate 9 years next month.

15 years ago I had purple as my bridesmaids dresses and calla lilies for the flowers! We had, thankfully, just moved out of the “big bow” generation, so none of those were present.

I chose champagne colored dresses and a mix of red and pink roses. We’ve been married for 4 years in August. 🙂

We were married on the beach in Mexico. My dress was ivory and he wore ivory linen pants and shirt. The flowers were bright orange and the background was the gulf of mexico. Almost 3 years has passed and I am even happier now than I was then…

I had orange & pink with daisies for my wedding.

my anniversay is 5/20 and we have been married for 21 years! our colors were bright blue with mauve & white accents, it was 1989 afterall!

My color was red! We had white roses for the girls and red roses for me!

IF and when the day comes that I ever get married again I would choose to do a fall wedding and fall colors and flowers…..being born in October I have a love for the fall.

I had every color, shade, and hue of purple as my colors. Purple is my favorite color…so of course it would be incorporated into my nuptials=). I just couldn’t decide on eggplate, periwinkle, violet, orchid, plum, grape, lavender….OY! It was beautiful though!!
Kelli @ SustainingCreativity

Oh I love your jewelry and I would love to win the gift certificate!!!…Cuz I love the “Sparkle” necklace.

At our wedding…a zillion years ago…we had soft yellow and soft blue colors. Our family already had decorations in those colors and they helped us put it all together. We did everything on a limited budget and it was just an intimate affair…just close friends and family.

Linda @ Truthful Tidbits

Our colors are pink and orange for our summer-in-Chicago July 3rd wedding!

We had a Christmas wedding and I really wanted burgundy bridesmaid dresses, but couldn’t find a single one that year! So, we ended up with a deep green. It was a perfect night.

I chose brown and hot pink. These are my favorite colors and I would do it the exact same all over again (the colors that is!) There’s plenty of small things I would change, just not the Groom, or the colors! 🙂

We were married in october, I love the autumn and the colors. My bridesmaids wore sage green dresses and carried autumnal colored flowers, yellow roses, burgundy carnations, orange Gerber daisies and euculyptus leaves. It was so special.

I was married in august… and i love bright colors. My colors were bright orange and green! The girls wore light green dresses and we all carried orange gerber daisy bouquets. I also wore lime green shoes under my dress 🙂

I chose a burgendy-wine color, and it was perfect for our autumn wedding! I would definately choose the same colors all over again 🙂 Your wedding pics are beautiful BTW!!!

I had rose and celadon. If I were to do it again though it would be shades of blue with all the girls in the same dress with different shades, yummy!

Our colors were pink and champaigne…which was not exactly a normal choice for me, but when I found my dress and it had a pink sash, I just had to go in that direction. And it was beautiful! Hope I win!

I would pick fall colors like reds and golds.

My colors were black and burgundy. Except for me; I wore white.

I blogged about it: http://www.showmyface.com/2010/05/pardon-interruption.html

I had a very small wedding 29 years ago so I didn’t have colors or a theme. If I were to have a wedding today I would have chocolate brown, lime green and magenta….kind of tropical.

teal/aqua and sunshine yellow and baby pink and ivory! 😀

I tweeted! http://twitter.com/rachelforgets/status/13991568985 (I can be reached at greatnarf[at]gmail[dot]com)

black white and red.

I chose my favorite color for the bridesmaids – blue! And my mother made my dress and the flower girl’s dress AND 4 bridesmaid’s dresses!

that was sixteen years ago, but our colour was purple. i still love that colour!

Blue/green/aquaish is our color. We are totally going for a vintage feel. I took the inspiration from my blue diamond engagement ring. 🙂 We are getting married in September.

Gorgeous! Love seeing your pictures.

I want burgundy, cream and gold. <3

We went with black & white – LOVED it!

I plan to have a summer wedding and want my bridesmaid to be in purple and everything will be purples, lime green and gray 🙂

Sage green with white and yellow flowers. I have no idea if I would choose those again. I loved the flowers, but the bridesmaids dresses I just went with what was on clearance!

Dusty Rose and Powder Blue – my maid of honor found a dress with both colors in it and my 2 bridesmaids ended up making their dresses in the blue (I bought the material and patterns, I think). This was 31 years ago.

I blogged about your giveaway. Here:
http://simplysimonsisters.blogspot.com/2010/05/have-you-ever.html

We had a light pink and green. It was so beautiful! (4 years ago Wednesday! We were married on 5/12/06)

Our color way back when was RED! If I had it to do over I think I’d choose something a little more understated …. I love the light chocolate brown & saturated baby blue combo.

Love your wedding pics….so cool! Dumb question, though – do you use photoshop to add the neat “effects”?

I have always loved fall colors, like Red, Orange, Yellow and green. But we were getting married in August so I wasn’t sure the colors would work. But we had a fantastic florist that made everything SO incredibly beautiful 🙂 What a great giveaway! I have purchased many of your necklaces as gifts. I am a huge fan 🙂

I chose a spring green (called “clover” at the store) for our May wedding. We had our reception on a boat and the green looked amazing as the trees were just becoming full with new green leaves. It also allowed me to have bouquets with all kinds of spring colors and flowers. I loved it!

Love the antique teapot centrepieces!
We had an outdoor wedding in British Columbia (Canada), so our colours were creamy white and pale green (to pick up on all the green in the pine trees/grass), with hints of pale pink (in the flowers and bridesmaid dresses). 5 years this July 🙂

We had fuschia and star gazer lilies evrywhere. They are the best! We are coming up on 15 years. We met in 8th grade, and it is great to be married to your best friend.

Also? Facebooked this. Man, you have a lot of comments on this one! 8•)

Our wedding 19 years ago this July was $500, with our colors being
country blue and rose. To do over it would be browns and aqua marines, fortunately I
have a niece getting married next weekend and her colors? Aqua Marine and brown. 🙂

It has been almost 43 years since our wedding day….where do those years go?
We had a sky blue and white wedding in late August. All white flowers because
they are my favorite flowers still. Thanks for a chance to win some of your beautiful
work.

White with pink, orange, yellow and lime green (the actual color of limes- not glow-in-the-dark green!). A casual family picnic with plenty of gerbera daisies and a candy bar with candies in these colors. A fun stress-free day with the ones we love the most! (oh, and a qualified photographer- as I mentioned in my comment yesterday- our photographer left before taking any pictures!!!)

We will celebrate 3 years of marriage Septembr 29th. We went with a very fall like theme/palette. My girls wore beautiful black gowns that they still use and the guys wore rust colored ties. It was beautiful! Our flower girl tossed fall leaves down the aisle instead of flower petals. It was incredible! My husbands family put alot of work into it!
Lisa you look gorgeous in your photos! I love all the family touches!

ivory and lavender.
also fb and twitter. 🙂

I love how vintage your wedding looks, so classic and perfect with family & friends. My husband and I have been married for 7 years and it was a shot gun wedding- no I wasn’t pregnant, but we were “in love” & we still are, just stronger and fully loving one another the way you’re supposed to without all the lustful stuff anymore. anyways.. I just started following your blog and it’s quickly become one of my favorite places to visit each day! I love it!
I would love to win the pewter heart, we are in the process of buying a new home and I think a keepsake would be perfect after all we’ve been through and accomplished.. tho any of the items are beautiful and would be lovely!

i had a winter wedding and the dresses were a Burgundy color. I also pulled in forest green accents to go with the whole Christmas color winter theme. The bridesmaids bouquets were all white to mimic snowballs 🙂

My bridesmaids wore navy and we all carried pink flowers.

Yellow and White… daisies everywhere and it was so magical!!

I ♥ ivory sor my bridesmaids dresses were ivory and navy. The groomsmen wore black tux with a navy vest and bowtie. For flowers I used silk and made bouquets of aubergine cabbage roses with small ivory roses. Would absolutely love to win a petite crest necklace for my sister!

I chose rose-pink & chocolate brown

Lately I’m on a navy kick. I think navy would be so classic but gets away from basic black.

I chose black dresses for the girls (tea length) because who can’t wear a “little black dress” again. The flowers were raspberry colored calla lilies.

my colors were burgundy and white. we will use black and white when we renew our vows

my colors were black and pink. man i would just cry if i won one of your giveaways. your jewelry is unbelievable.

Forty four years ago…a small, intimate wedding with my maid of honor wearing light blue.

I LOVE the teapots as centerpieces! What a unique idea! 🙂

My colors when I got married (almost 3 years ago, though it feels like it was just last month) were dark red and white. Simple, but I LOVE red and think the symbolism behind the whole red=love thing worked really well.

Thanks for the chance to WIN!

I have also been married for 11 years…4-9-99…it was a simple ceremony on a Friday night ..even though almost everything went wrong..including my cake falling apart..I was so happy to marry my best friend.

Our wedding 20 years ago had dark teal green and pale yellow. Now I would chose sage green with all white flowers. Wouldn’t change a thing about the husband though!

Good Afternoon Lisa,

I would not change a thing about my wedding or the colours…I was married in the Fall in Ontario and the colours mirrored the colours of the leaves – russets, olives and cream.

consider it facebooked!

We got married at the courthouse, so we didn’t exactly have ‘colors’. But my dress was green and he was wearing jeans and a gray sweater. So let’s say green, denim, and gray. 🙂

Our wedding color was yellow. I love yellow, the color of sunshine, dasies(my fav flower) and was my grandma’s fav color! Our wedding was simple too, I will be married 11 years in Oct(99 good year!) and he is the best guy I could ever imagine being married too. The girls wore yellow dresses and carried white dasies w/ yellow some babies breath and roses. I wouldn’t change our color, it still makes me happy to think about that day.
Happy Anniversary in July!!

We chose lavender and peach, and had the most amazing bouquets of peach roses with purple freesia… I can still smell the freesia 9 years later. Amazing memories of an amazing day.

We had teal with fuchia accents. We have been married almost 13 years!! The bridesmaids wore teal velvet dresses and carried fuchia flowers. I don’t think I would change anything from our wedding. It was an amazing day!

I think I will want red and black or purple and silver. Kayla and Justin’s wedding in 3 weeks is purple and silver, but I figure my wedding will be far enough away from theirs for that to matter. I need to find a husband first!

My wedding colors were black and white. Very simple but it turned out gorgeous! 🙂 Thanks for this giveaway Lisa! Have a great weekend! 🙂

What a beautiful wedding you had. I love the antique teapots – so clever!

My wedding colors were dark red, silver and ivory. Such a wonderful day!

Your jewelry is beautiful and I would be honored to wear anything you made. 🙂

Paula

I too was on a tight budget. My aunt is a florist and did everything for us at cost as a wedding present! So my flowers were whatever was in season in November, reds, yellows and lots of greens. My bridesmaids dresses were a darker blue with a teal tint to it. So I guess you can say the theme color was blue, it’s my fav color 🙂 It was a very spiritual and magical day. 5 years in November!

Our colors were red and ivory. We were married in October of ’97. What beautiful wedding pictures you have posted! 🙂

well, I’m not married yet, but I think I would use a combination of lots of bright colors (pink, green, purple, yellow, etc), showing that it is a celebration.

Beautiful pictures.
I choose a very light pink. I even had pink velvet ribbons on my dress. That was almost 40 years ago.

My colors were red,black and white. I actaully wore one of your necklces at my wedding that my husband gave me on our dating anniversary! 🙂

This is such a generous giveaway! I love the centerpieces you used. Our wedding used many light colors-I couldn’t choose just two or three! The groomsmen wore linen pants with light blue oxford shirts, the ushers wore yellow oxford shirts, and the ladies wore light green. We also incorporated purple and hydrangea blue with our flowers and decor-and many other colors I probably can’t remember!

My wedding colors were Navy and Hunter Green. The little girls wore blackwatch plaid taffeta/green velvet dresses (there were 6 flowersgirls). It was a beautiful Christmas wedding…also in 1999.

I wanted to choose something with fun colors but we didn’t have a lot of money so we went with red, black and white. It turned out really great because most of the stuff to decorate it was really cheap. The girls wore long black dresses and the tables were decorated with round mirrors with a white candle in the middle and rose petals scattered on it! It was beautiful! And it was simple matching well with our outdoor wedding in December (Ha! A little crazy I know!)!

I’m a big fan of green, but I know that not everyone looks good in the same shade of it. I plan on picking out a few coordinating shades of green, letting my girls pick their favorite shade and dress and then hope they’ll actually wear the dresses again. Much like Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses, I’m building up quite a collection…

I did red. And when the florist suggested that the bridesmaids carry red roses, I was a little unsure at first, but they turned out beautifully! I’d pick the color scheme again in a heartbeat. It was perfect for the scorching July day on which we were married (in an un-airconditioned chapel).

We married right on the beach, on the sand, at 5pm in beautiful late afternoon sunlight after a thundering downpour of rain at 3:30. My two wonderful sons, then aged 11 and 14, walked me down the stairs to the beach. My husband to be and my sons wore light blue ties with their dark suits. I wore off white. My hairdresser had glued tiny crystals in my hair. At the beginning of the ceremony, our rings, which were tied with ribbon onto a satin pillow affixed onto a large scallop shell, were passed among the guests to touch them and infuse with their hopes and blessings before coming back to us at the end of the ceremony for placing on each others’ fingers. At the reception, each table had a shallow glass bowl filled with water in which little flip flop candles floated. It was a wonderful evening and beyond . . .

I will be married this coming Dec 4. I’m beyond excited. I have been dating my future husband for almost 6 years. Our color are dark navy and robins egg blue. I’m posting the contest to facebook right now : )

We were married in late October so we used fall colors for our wedding. I don’t think we chose anything specific, but my bridesmaides wore brown dressed and the guys wore navy suits with ties that had various shades of brown and pale blue in them. My dress was ivory. Loved how it all came together!

We got married in a Mt. Lodge in the summer nine years ago. Our colors were sage green and ivory. We had wildflower bouquets.

Our color was red. We, too, were on a budget, very strict cheap budget. I borrowed my dress from my best friend who’d worn it 4 months before; borrowed my veil from my sister-in-law who’d married the summer before and I’d stood in the wedding; flowers were artificial, flowers were a $100.00 deal; flowers in the church were the poinsettias of Christmas (wedding date 12-28-74); reception in the basement of my brother’s new home with records playing as the music; my mother made the cake; and food was provided by friends. That was on a Saturday and my husband was on Christmas break from medical school, so he had to be back by Wednesday. So after our overnight “honeymoon” we had to get back to load up our van with all of our wedding gifts and everything I owned, to move to our new apt. 6oo miles away that I’d never seen!! Thirty five and a half years later, we are still together but still waiting for the real honeymoon trip!!

And I just added it to my post today on my blog in conjunction with the Inspired by…Wedding Flowers challenge I have going on!

Enjoy the day!

Lavender and white.

LOVE your wedding pictures, you and Steve are so cute!

Red…and sunflowers everywhere in old vases and milk glass. Thanks for the chance!

Pink & brown =)

Colors were red for girls and white and red for the men. Sept will be 25 years for us!!

I facebooked, too!

I also shared on twitter

We had magenta & black for our colors. However, if we were to get married again, I would chose a lighter shade of pink and a green color for accents. 😀

I chose spring colors: my bridesmaids wore lavender, the flower girls wore yellow dresses with white pinafores and the centerpieces were in fuscia, yellow, orange and purple flowers. I LOVED it and would do it the same way again 🙂

such stunning photos, gorgeous
am not sure we really had colours, my dress was white, peach roses in my bouquet.
17 years this year .. wow.
Happy days to you all and many congratulations

My colors were latte and chocolate! 🙂 Yum!
Thanks for the giveaway lisa!

also posted on FB! Thanks Lisa!!

My colors were sage and brown.

Loved wedding week!!!

Hi Lisa! Our wedding anniversary is also July 24…1998! Our colors were light mossy green and yellow, with white daisies for all the bouquets. I would do the same if I were doing it again. I would marry the same guy all over again too:-)

After surviving the weddings of all three of my siblings…I have decided that I if I ever get married – I will elope. Just something simple and basic. So I don’t really have colors. I used to say that I would go with pink…because all women look good in pink. But my little sister stole that idea from me. So yeah, back to the eloping thing!

I got married 16 years ago on New year’s day in Park City, Utah to the love of my life, John. At that time, I was just thankful to have anyone to be in my wedding at all since everyone I knew lived in Tennessee, so I let the girls all go to the mall and pick a dress of their personal choice made of cranberry red, hunter green, or black velvet. The result was amazing and everyone went home with a dress that they loved! But now if i had to do it all over again, I would probably do something similar, but with a twist. My friend’s daughter just went to the prom and I was amazed at how much the dresses have changed since 1989. I became a little wistful as I saw the beautiful dresses and I was thinking that I would never again have the opportunity to dress up like that again. I guess I would like to let every girl in my wedding go and choose the prom dress of her choice. I would make the guys match their tuxedos to the ladies’ dresses just like in high school. I would want corsages with the little mimi roses and to have them each choose unque sparkle jewelry and shoes. And this time instead of the wedding march I would march down to my husband to the tune of “Can’t help Falling in Love With You” performed by UB40. A little corny , yes but I work with Senior Citizens, and have learned that there’s no time like the present to make every day count and to do something a little bit crazy!

“my colors are blush and bashful…”

just kidding (but i do love that movie) my colors were periwinkle and a light spring green.

loved seeing your wedding photos, how special that you could wear your mom’s dress!

We chose (okay, I chose) a gorgeous deep claret red and we accented with olive green, brown, and taupe. Very much in keeping with the lovely farm where we married on the most pristine, mild November day imaginable for southern Tennessee.

bridesmaids wore sage green dresses and the flowers were a mix of pinks and oranges.

i would like my colors to be white, black and touches of green…..

Thanks!

My bridesmaid’s dresses were gun metal (a really cool gray color). The flowers were purple, fuschia, and cream. I still LOVE my choices 7 years later!

We had a Hawaian luau for our reception (which was in Ohio – about as far from Hawai as it gets! :-)) and my bridesmaids wore navy blue dresses with ivory wrist lais instead of bouquets. I had a pink bouquet. We also had leis flown in from Hawaii for our wedding party – that was my most favorite part.

So, long story short, our colors were navy, hot pink and ivory.

For my December 2010 wedding my fiance and I chose red and teal with a hint of charcoal thrown in as well. Sounds busy but it looks incredible!

I love green and pink… and orange!
Actually there’s no color I wouldn’t use!
Colors are just great 🙂

I think a simple marriage is really what people should need.
Having few well-chosen details is the best solution, so that you can avoid putting too much effort into planning and really concentrate on the ceremony and its meaning.

Black bridesmaids dresses with sage green sashes. Purple calla lilies. It was beautiful. : )

My husband and I eloped but had I prepped a wedding our colors would have been a deep purple and silver. Happy 11 years to you and yours!

I had an outdoor wedding and chose very soft cream and peach colors for my flowers (roses) and the bridesmaid dresses – very feminine and beautiful!

Sage green and ivory. 10 Years ago April 22 EARTHDAY!
If I had to do over again
More of a beach theme,

We were married in December and I chose red and white. We will be married for 24 years this year – it’s so much easier (but not always easy) when you’re married to your best friend. Your dress is absolutely beautiful, Lisa! With 4 girls I love reading tips on how to have an economical wedding. 🙂

My wedding colors would be pink and white and whatever color is his favorite (current boyfriend’s favorite color is red so I would do a variety of pinks and reds or something) and there would be butterflies on EVERYTHING. From the cake to the dress to the tables, EVERYTHING. I’m fairly obsessed with them lol.
(Hope I win something!)

We had a fall wedding so our colors were a burnt orange (we had pumpkin centerpieces with flowers sticking out of them) and a deep burgundy. 5 years and 4 kids later, we are still as in love as the day we said “I do!”

My husband and I got married in Hawaii so we didn’t have any colors, but if I did it over again I love rustic wood, aqua glass, beach white!

I have been married for 17 years! Woohoo! The colors I chose were peach and white but if I had to do it all over again (with my same honey 🙂 I would have to go with red, white & black 🙂 Boy, do tastes change as we grow!

I would SO pick a chocolate brown in the fall!!! 🙂

Very pretty wedding pictures. Loved the flowers in antique tea pots. I’ve been married 21 years and we had pale pink as our color. Probably wouldn’t do pink again but would definitely pick the same good man!

Colors were wine and silver. I wouldn’t do it again! 🙂

I just blogged this.

Good morning all, Nice photos Lisa and a great give away. Our wedding was in Cayucos on the pier in the early evening. We invited everyone and even the fisherman and tourists stopped by to watch our wedding. So funny. Then we had a huge pot luck dinner and there were so much fabulous food. Our colors were pink, ecru and silver. The vets hall was filled with thousands of balloons, was so beautiful, and we danced the night away. <3

We did black, white and turquoise for our wedding colors, but if I had it to do again, I’d do navy and yellow. I’m really loving that combination.

Beautiful wedding! My own was also a small budget and nowhere near as lovely as yours. Our colors were light lavender, pink and blue with lavender being the focus. Today, I might go with more of a blue and brown/tan color scheme. But I’d still marry the same guy so that’s what’s important.

Happy Anniversary!

i would choose like a limesh green with ivory and pink accents (or maybe red) or tourquoise and red

I chose red…the color of love. My girls wore party length red dresses. With my white gown and the men’s black tuxes, it was the perfect choice for a March wedding. That was 22 years ago, and looking back on th day, I still would have chose red.

I used sage green and a light pink fo rmy wedding colors a little over 2 years ago. My how time flies.

Our wedding was ivory and forest green but that was 14 years ago. Not so much what I’d go for now!

Tweeted! Twittered? Whatever. :p

I also facebooked it!

I blogged it!

We were married in December so our colors were burgundy and off-white. I chose these colors mostly because I wanted to carry fire and ice roses (one of the first flowers my hubby gave me when we were dating… see I told you our wedding was all in the details 🙂

Our colors were red and silver….it was in December which I thought went well. And, my husband got me some red roses with silver sparkles on them when he proposed so that is what I had for my bouquet. Now, if I was to do it again, I think I would do black and hot pink….I saw a wedding that had those colors and it was so pretty! My husband might not like it, but I would! 🙂

Our colours were purple (my favourite colour) and blue (hubby’s).

It also fit our luau theme really well. 🙂

Our colors were silver and blue… it sounds really prom-ish, but it was perfect for our star theme! 🙂

My girls wore chocolate brown pant suits!

I will tweet my heart out for this giveaway!
smiles,
gina

Wow Lisa, you look so beautiful! As for colors I am not sure, I love all colors and don’t discriminate!

Lavendar and sage green. Would totally do it differently today! Oh well 🙂

Tweeted as @beana619

we had navy blue and yellow…morning wedding with brunch reception. your pictures are beautiful!

We went with antique white, and green. The day was foggy and rainy, it was perfect.

Navy blue, Tiffany Blue, Red & white… LOVE the combo! IT was PERFECT! A tinge of patriotic-ness that comes from growing up in the Air Force plus Red & Tiffany blue – a favorite Danish-inspired combo!

We did a split…Our wedding was more girly and romantic, I let my girls pick out a black cocktail dress of their choice and the groomsmen wore black. Our flowers were gorgeous light greean and pinks…Then for dinner and after party we went totally Vegas and did black red and silver. It was awesome!

silver and navy… beautiful and classic. But sometimes I wish I would have gone w/ silver and hot pink! 😉

Just posted as my FB status: Win a free necklace from Lisa Leonard Designs: http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/blog/2010/05/14/day-5-our-wedding-a-giveaway/

Our colors were navy and silver

I tweeted!! @jmebowman

We had gold and ivory and my bridesmaid wore green…

How funny!! Our wedding was in 1999 too and my budget was also $2000. Our colors were burgundy & gold. Beautiful pictures!

We eloped so no “colors” but we went with a Sunflower theme!

Blogged it! http://cbethblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/big-lisa-leonard-jewelry-giveaway.html

I too had a budget of 2000.00….planned our wedding in 9 weeks…..our colors were red, orange and yellow, we were married October 10, 2004 🙂

Married 1994 — peach and green

lime green and turquoise! SOO fun!

I only had one attendant and she had a rose dress from a previous wedding so that decided the first color. My mother wears primarily black or navy so I chose navy for the second color so she would be comfortable. If I could have picked any colors I wanted, I don’t think they would have looked as nice as these did.

We had a very small (and perfect!) wedding. We didn’t really have colors because our wedding and reception were both outdoors in the middle of the Rocky Mountains! I guess my wedding colors were the brightly colored mix of gerber daisies in my bouquet.

I had a Spring wedding, 12 years ago this Saturday. I chose a soft lavendar color for the dresses, and pink & white for the flowers. It was the wedding I had dreamed of my whole life!!!

I was married in Nov 2002. I chose silver and cream for our colors. Almost 8 years and two boys later I’m still glad I married my guy too. Thanks for the wedding posts this week- it was so fun!

Our colors were silver and periwinkle. How time flies!

Beautiful! I love how beautiful thrifty can be – and how much more meaningful and creative we are on budgets!

Not married yet, and no prospects on the horizon – my tastes go through seasons, but right now I love the idea of a deep sage green and a creamy taupe. Though I’m also a big fan of vintage and natural, muted colors.

Black and White classic and simple!

We had a very small wedding two days after Christmas. I wanted a winter wonderland effect so we had snowflakes everywhere with navy as the main color. I loved it.

oooooh, so sweet! You look so beautiful! How real-life your photos are – i love it! You look like you are having fun and you are totally meant to be! Thanks for sharing!

I think I would choose fun colors like pink and green! Love the wedding week idea Lisa!

We were married July 10 1999…time does fly doesn’t it! Our colors were periwinkle and champagne (roses). It was an amazing start to our amazing life together!
Blessings!
Anna

I chose chocolate brown with some pink and green accents. You can see my pictures here: http://joshandashleyrussell.shutterfly.com/ We had a full blown wedding planned in my hometown and decided on a whim to switch it to Destin, FL 5 months before the wedding.

We chose a deep purple with a coral apricot 22 years ago. WOW! Where have the years gone?

We just celebrated 20 years of wedded bliss on May 5, 2010. My bridesmaids wore hot pink dresses!

This really has been such a fun week. I have loved seeing all the weddings. I love that you ended with yours! It was beautiful. I love all the handmade and loving touches. You looked so gorgeous. How neat to wear your Mother’s wedding dress. My wedding colors were cream and a light blue. I just love weddings.

I put it on my facebook too!

I love your centerpieces!! My colors were champagne and sage green…simple and elegant! I would LOVE the certificate…I’ve had my eye on your Together Necklace since it came out. Perfect for our family!

Beautiful pictures! I love your flowers – so pretty! Our colors were pink and peach (mangoish) with splashes of green and white polka dot. It was a the beach and I loved the soft chic vintage that it created. What a fun week of weddings! Enjoyed it so much!

My wedding was in October so we picked fall colors. My bridesmaids wore candy apple red and my flowers were red, yellow, orange and cream with red berries. Ahhh…..the memories!

Yay! I am so excited to see your photos! I am very envious of that budget…go girl! And, it is clear that it was the BEST day of your life. OK, so we had a Fall wedding, November 19, 2006. Colors – pumpkin orange, crisp apple reds, and beautiful browns. Theme- pumpkins, apples, leaves. P.S. I married my Junior High sweet heart! Imagine that! I have known my husband, Michael for more than 1/2 of my life! Love him a little bit more every day! ~Paige xo

We chose black and white for our wedding and called it a ‘black and white affair’ on our reception cards… I loved the timeless, classic feel it gave to our day. We are celebrating our 2 year ann. next week!!!

Just blogged it as well. 🙂

I chose light blue and white and our reception had a little bit of a beach theme to it. What a sweet giveaway!

my colors were ivory and hunter green

Tweeted it as well!

We are using serene blue, silver, yellows, and pinks. I think we are throwing some navy in also. It’s coming up quickly, three months from today as a matter of fact!

I facebooked it!!!

it has been much fun to see the inventive things people have/are doing for weddings. thanks for sharing yours. very pretty!
i chose black velvet for the bridesmaids. it was not in vogue in 1992. but i have never been in vogue. they looked beautiful and it was something they could wear again.
i think if i were to do it today it might be something like a gunmetal or pewter gray silk shantung.
i am hosting a beading design challenge on my blog right now called Inspired by…Wedding Flowers. there are palettes created by colourlovers that show new ideas in wedding flowers. i think i would choose more unusual shaped and colored flowers if i were to do it all again. but i am not. i am very blessed to be married to my dear husband and i wouldn’t trade him for anything!
enjoy the day!

‘Doh That’s mediterranean blue! And I just FB it correctly. *headdesk*

Beautiful, Lisa! Has the time just flown by??
I will {hopefully} be getting married next year…and I’ve decided that we’ll do pink & chocolate with some white {I mean, the dress of course.}…possibly pink daisies and coffee beans. Yay!

My bridesmaids wore plum colored dresses. The groomsmen wore either plum or green with their tuxes. That was 1998 and I wouldn’t change a thing!

Facebooked! ;D

Our wedding colors were cranberry and white, but if I had it to do again I would use a kaleidoscope of garden colors. I love what you did on a small budget. Ours was a similar affair with much family and friends help. The only thing I really wish we had more money for was photography.

I too agree that this has been a fun and great series to read this week. I have been married 7 years and the only color that I can honestly remember is periwinkle. The other color is lost in my sleep deprived brain. 🙂 I need to pull the wedding album out tonight and refresh myself apparently!

tweeted it!

I’m still deciding on this, it’s either ivory and tiffany blue or turquoise and pink

I chose periwinkle. My wedding was in the spring and I carried a wildflower bouquet full of bright spring colors.

Blogged it!

Circa, June 1984…
the rage in color was
Dusty Pink & Blue,
which coordinated beautifully with our Maili Beach wedding.

This has been a touching series of posts.
Thanks, Lisa.

our wedding was truly a celebration… just as we wanted it.
the colors were periwinkle and silver
my bouquet had white roses and beautiful blue hydrangeas

Tweeted about it!

My wedding was held in September, and our colors were pumpkin orange and cranberry!

Our wedding colors were shades of purple and yellow. It turned out better than I had ever dreamed! We got married on the fourth of July so we decided to steer clear of the typical red, white, and blue motif, but still were able to add a few hints of it here and there. I love looking back at the pictures and remembering how special of a day it was that I married my best friend, my soulmate, my everything!

I posted it on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/MrsTonyaRiggs

I’m not married yet, but I love sterling roses. So as of right now I like the idea of the purpley color with ivory and grass green. But who knows what it’ll look like when the day comes. 🙂

My wedding colors were eggplant and sage green. It was perfect for our beautiful fall wedding– 8 years!

I blogged it!

Our colors were based on the fall season! The bridesmaids wore lapis and then we had burgandy, blush pink, dark greens, vibrant orange and cream in the bouquets. My favorite colors are fall colors so we decided to go with that even though we got married in August! lol It will be our 1st wedding anniversary the 19th of August.

What precious memories! I love the photos! I choose pink and green for my wedding (we will be celebrating out 2nd anniversary in a little over a week) I LOVED everything about it!

we are getting ready to celebrate our 10-year anniversary, time really does fly! i wore a light blue dress instead of a traditional wedding dress, i had it made and it fit perfectly. i wore silver shoes and we had a variety of daisies (yellow, white) in glass Ball jars on all the picnic tables.

Our colors are burnt orange and teal blue. {and variations of each} We’re down to about 2 weeks till wedding day!!! 😀

Beautiful Wedding Pictures Lisa. I chose pale pink and would do it all over again with the same guy, even after 30 years.

Our colors were Caribbean blue, olive green, and silver.

My colors will be apple green, black and white. I’m (im)patiently waiting on my ring! 🙂 haha

I used champagne and purple. We got married on December 7.

Bloggin’ it up, baby!

Beautiful pics all week! We had the girls in deep burgandy dresses w/ harvest orange lillies and mums…it was a beautiful fall day!!!

My wedding colors were lavender, pink, and lime green.

I’ve been married 28 years this coming July 10. I chose a beautiful clear bright blue, bought the fabric at an Indian Sari shop. The dresses were simple. I sewed my own dress at a cost of $20.00. All the bouquets were a cacophony of colours. I too loved my wedding day and am sure I married my best friend.

Tweeted (@misspinkkate).

We got married in the fall, so our colors coordinated with that (lots of browns and golds).

We had lilac in our reception hall, and ivory at the ceremony! it was great.

i choose a red wine color and cream – oh how i still love those dresses and that color. I wish i could do it all over again (and hire a better photographer ;0)

We had silver lilac for our wedding color! Loved it, still do ten years later (this month!). How time zooms!

I choose burgundy and forest green (GAH!) … but today I would choose something with a lovely shade of orange. Maybe aqua and orange?

my wedding colors were red, white, and black! 🙂

Facebooked!

I chose and would choose again, celadon green and milk-glass whites. White tulips everywhere!

I had all these crazy ideas – burgandy dresses, multi-colored mum bouquests, limo, off-white dress, no veil, no poof, boat neck. I guess I’m a bit of a traditionalist at heart – we went with black dresses, red roses, trolly (we live on Lake MI), white dress, veil, poof, strapless. It was such an amazing day. Black, red and white – so simple – so pretty!

i’ve really been inspired by your wedding photos this week! at 32 and (still) single and a parade of fools behind me, i am single by choice now. that said, it seems as though -for one reason or another- weddings and such have been glaring at me for the last few weeks especially! i’m definitely not bitter -i love where i am in life now- but it’s just interesting that i’m purposefully consecrating myself right now and wedding-stuff keeps coming up! but who doesn’t start planning their wedding when they are little girls? as to colors, when i thought i would be married the day after i graduated college and have all five of my children by the time i was thirty (ahem), i’m confident i wanted my colors to be pink & green. at this point in my life, if the lord sees fit to marry me off (which i’ll be fine if he does, fine if he doesn’t), then i want a more simple affair with only those we’re closest to present. and i want every part of it to mean something. anyway, colors…simple, perhaps golds or yellows or robin’s egg blue…neutral-ish tones is what i’m thinking with beautiful, simple flowers. and a vintage frames necklace for each of my bridesmaids, to be sure. 🙂

The bridesmaids dresses were black with a big white and peachy pink floral print–I got married at a time when big bold florals were popular (1994). I found black floral plates that coordinated with the dresses. Our roses were white with a tinge of peachy pink on the edges. We had LOTS of roses because we live near a rose greenhouse and did all the flowers ourselves. We also did all the food. I borrowed my gown from a friend (something borrowed), had a new vail (something new), a blue garter (something blue), and my husband’s great-grandmother’s ring (something old).

facebooked. can I just say how much I’m loving this giveaway? <3

Green!

My husband and I had such a small wedding (us, our two daughters, two friends, and our pastor), that we didn’t have a color theme. But if I had to pick, I’d choose robins egg blue and a creamy off white.

we chose a burgundy color. we too had a very small budget, paying for it
ourselves. but i tell you that as one great party! we just celebrated our 13th
anniversary:)

Facebooked the contest too!

I chose yellow for my wedding color.

I chose periwinkle for the bridesmaids dresses and used hydrangeas for the flowers.

My colors were ivory & navy…. beautiful for a fall wedding.

Oh how I love wedding, I am starting to design wedding invitations and I can’t get enough! My colors were cranberry red, champagne and black. My dress was a champagne colored lace ahhhh I still love looking at it!! Thanks for the chance to win, I love you products!

I got married in September. I absolutely went with fall colors because it was easy to find cute decorations and the pictures would be amazing outside. the bridesmaid dresses were a maroonish red and in their bouqeuts were huge organge tiger lillies (my favorite flowers!). The striking difference in the colors were awesome. The decorations and all coordinating flowers were oranges, browns, golds, reds…everything was full of such rich color. But my favorite is still the huge orange tiger lillies.

Black. It’s my favorite color! Everyone wore black except for me { if I had to do it over again…I too would wear black! }

our wedding was dark red and white… nice but not exactly my taste anymore! wish i could do it all over again!

Green with red, orange, yellow and purple as accent colors… we got married in the fall and used beautiful mums to decorate the outside picnic area. I couldn’t pick just one color because i love them all so much so the assortment of mums was perfect!

I chose red wine, green, and gold. We got married two days after Christmas!

We eloped but if I had a traditional wedding it would have been pewter dresses with white peonies for the bouquets.

Oh and ps… and I left a post earlier in the week about my cousin’s son that called out “Yeah” after my uncle sang… I have the EXACT same photo of him at my wedding that you have of your nephew! He’s leaning over smelling my flowers, and the last photo of the series he is wrinkling his nose. Such a cute one.

We got married in the fall, and I wanted to make the look of our wedding classic and timeless. The bridemaids wore black and ivory two piece dresses (the skirts had a fishtail train! such fun!). The flowers were all roses, which were a burnt orange color. Now everytime I see those roses in a shop, it makes me smile and remember an amazing fall day in Minnesota! I think if I had to do it over again, not much would change… which is exactly how I wanted it.

I chose red, because that’s the colour of good luck in my culture. I would definitely go all red and gold if I could do it all over again. I had a small wedding (17 people) so that wouldn’t be too hard to pull off a 2nd time. LOL.

We had a very casual wedding, so there really weren’t any designated colors. If I chose today, I would use red and aqua. Hmmmm … wonder if my honey will re-marry me so I can do it??? 😉

I chose an emerald green. It fit well and was just used in the details. It’s my birthstone and 16.5 years ago on Labor Day weekend it certainly looked pretty when we got married!

Your wedding was beautiful and I am very impressed with what you did with your budget. Amazing.

My wedding (eight years ago June 2) was red and white. If I where redoing my wedding today I think I would select brown and turquoise. My taste has evolved and so has our relationship. It has been a wonderful eight years.

i originally wanted purple – like a rich regal purple – for my wedding – but – we didn’t like the dresses that came in that color – and – the dresses we did like didn’t come in that color – so we found a dress we liked (and each girl got to pick what style they wanted – as they were tops & skirts)…and we went with periwinkle. it was perfect! we also were able to get totally matching bows to go around the chair covers at the reception. i love love loved it! thank you lisa for the beautiful jewelry you create, for sharing your wedding with us (beautfiul, by the way) and for giving me the chance to win one of the giveaways 🙂

posted up on facebook!! 🙂

I got married not too long after Steel Magnolias came out…so my colors were blush and bashful (and we had an armadillo grooms cake). Now I’d probably go for a more lime green and white combo (with bright pinks, oranges and reds as accents). Not that I hope to be getting married anytime soon. I’m happy with the guy I’ve got.

I had navy blue bridesmaid dresses and brightly colored wild flowers!

I was married in 1995 so another burgundy for me! If we were getting married now, I would definitely choose brighter colors – like apple green and turquoise! 🙂

I tweeted too!

My bridesmaids were beautiful in deep plum. And the flowers – white daisies.

ps. thank you for your beautiful blog – so inspiring!!

Blue and yellow – think delphiniums and yellow roses!

Paul & I were married in 1996…I chose ivory & navy blue for my colors. I wore my mom’s wedding dress, too…made some changes to it to update it…so special!

My colors were varying shades of red…we were married outside in a field and the party was in a barn. I loved it, and was perfectly rustic and pretty at the same time.

Lisa! You were a stunning bride! I hope my wedding is as awesome as these that you’ve featured this week. My wedding is on 2 months and so I’d love to win! Colors are purple and yellow. Have a fun weekend!

My wedding was light blue with some shots of yellow, we used Texas wildflowers. If I had to choose again, I might still choose blue, but I also love the idea of a rainbow of colors (red, orange, purple, blue).

oh
& i tweeted xo

i got married in 1994 so my colors were the ever popular hunter green and burgundy! it’s funny how times change–i don’t even like those colors anymore. but at the time it was beautiful and i had amazing flowers!
if i had to choose colors now it would either chocolate brown or turquoise!

I chose periwinkle. I’ll have been married for nine years in June! I can’t believe it’s been that long – time flies!

We had a military wedding so the accent colors were navy and silver -loved it!

I chose a pastels mostly. My bridesmaids wore pastel yellow dresses.

We were married in 1997 – wow! 13 years…what a great journey!
Our colour was a pale pink. Thank you for sharing your wedding pics.
We were married in the day before digital – so reproducing those treasured imagines is a bit more difficult.
I still keep a wedding pic (just 8×10) up in our bedroom – as a reminder of where we have come from.

I had a very simple wedding ($5K budget) so I chose very little decorations for the church…it was already beautiful as it was. We had Red potted Tulips wrapped in dark blue fabric (which we gave to our guests).

Tweeted!

My colors were Hunter Green just because it’s one of my favorite colors and I knew it would go well with the wildflower/sunflower theme that we had going on with our flowers. Sure enough, it was beautiful!

My wedding is coming up on 3.19.11!!! Our colors are celery green, ivory and black. I love love love your jewelry and am going to give the Pewter heart to my SOON TO BE HUSBAND for our wedding.

oh how i love remembering this day … silver and blush – to symbolize our new, yet solid beginning.

The jury is still out on this one…but my thoughts are deep, deep purple (eggplant/amethyst), and greens in the form of flowers, succulents, and plants.
Beautiful wedding and love the budget!!

I had a sage green and ivy theme going. Our wedding, too, was very low-key and a truly fantastic, wonderful day.

i would have lime green and chocolate brown! love the combination..and I love your blog!

I chose pale pink… would choose it all over again, and would ABSOLUTELY choose the same guy over and over and over and over again.
