I am getting married in May 2012 at this venue (Union League) in downtown Philadelphia.
Before I knew the venue of my wedding, I had pretty much nailed down my colors. My absolute most favorite color is green and I want to use a clover-like green as my main/accent color. My dress will be an off-white/ivory (definitely NOT pure white! I don't have the dress yet, but I know that I really love the ivory dresses I've seen) so I want to incorporate that in my palette as well. Lastly, since my wedding is in the spring, I think it is appropriate to add a pink-ish color to the mix for other accents, decorations, flowers, etc. - plus it goes great with the clover green! Then, after looking at hundreds of green/clover bridesmaid dresses, I came to terms with the fact that I can't deal with finding the perfect green color for my 'maids and really prefer a dark grey (a cool grey - with blue undertones - rather than a warm grey) and a light grey to top it all off.
Here's what I've come up with so far:
It is rough, but I really like it so far! I'd LOVE any feedback or revisions from y'all. Also, should I try to be working with Pantone colors or Spot colors? Advice on that?
The biggest problem, I think, has to do with my venue. The Union League of Philadelphia (as I mentioned with a link above) is an extremely old building and its colors are dark and earthy. It exudes patriotism with red, white and blue pretty much everywhere. The outside is brick and the ballroom is very brown and wood-y. Pictures below...
Does this make my theme/color palette obsolete? As much as I don't want to start over, I feel like my colors will be VERY strange in this space. I don't think my parents are willing to pay for a whole bunch of draping and large ticket items that would help cover up/mask the original space. Again, any advice on this would be IMMENSELY appreciated. I'm stuck!!
Lastly, if any of you are still reading :), does anyone have any ideas for a theme using the original colors I mentioned above (or new colors, if applicable)? What I mean by theme is, like a pattern or image or iconic representation of the wedding that I can try to incorporate throughout the wedding (including save the date notices, invitations, decorations, place settings, table numbers, etc.). I am trying to come up with something but I can't settle on any one thing because of the venue being such a drastic contrast to my original color palette. I could do something iconic from Philadelphia (like the Love Statue or the Liberty Bell, etc.) but I'm not a graphic designer and I just want people to bounce ideas off of each other and hopefully I'll find some inspiration!!
Thanks in advance to those of you who put up with my long post and took the time and energy to help me!
