Colors: Raspberry Pink and Navy Blue
Motif: Raspberries and Blueberries
On Friday - Kim {from The Event Essentials blog} posted about fuschia and navy weddings as she is now a matron of honor for her dear friend who wants a blue or deep purple and the fiancé wants a raspberry pink color. She posed a question wondering if anyone would help her create some fun color palettes with the magenta/raspberry/fuchsia pinks and aqua/navy blue scheme. So, here we are. This is my inspiration board for the wedding and the more I thought about it, I realized why not actually incorporate raspberries and blueberries into the overall theme. I absolutely love the bright pink centerpiece arrangement {from Table Settings with Pictures}. Adding candles that float atop blueberry filled cylinders with small galvanized pails that are filled with fresh blueberries would complete the table setting. The perfect favor for your wedding guests would be homemade raspberry jam. Add your guest names to the lid and you have both a personalized favor and place card. {favor image from Martha Stewart, the recipe for Red Raspberry Jam is also available on her site} The navy and pink wedding invitation from Custom Programs is the ideal invitation to introduce your color scheme to guests. The wedding dress {from David's Bridal} features a ribbon waist accent (in your choice of colors) and comes with sleeve options (if desired). The bridesmaid dress is a crinkled chiffon A-line frock with a ruffled halter neckline and a navy sash from Alvina Valenta. The finishing element for those who wish to serve their guests an alternative to the wedding cake is a Very Berry Cupcake {from Ana Henneberke's flickr gallery}.

Oh my goodness. That's AWESOME!! I'm absolutely in love with this color combination and also that Alvina Valenta dress with the blue shoes. That's HOT and I'm "stealing" it to show my friend!!! Thank you kindly! :) Happy Monday Brenda!!
OMG I LOVE the A.Valenta dress!!!!
Great post, dont you just LOVE this color combo!!
I love this! I'm getting married next month (October), and having an outdoor fall wedding in the mountains. I'm pretty non-traditional, so my wedding dress is a short navy blue number. Now I just have to figure out shoes...seeing this made me think....what about fuchsia strappy sandals?? Any thoughts?
I have decided to go with this combination for my wedding, and was planning to have the bridesmaids wear navy dresses. However, we looked at tuxes this weekend and black tuxes with navy vests really don't look that great. Does anyone have any suggestions for me about the groom's and groomsmen's attire?
I love this color scheme. I was looking for the Bridesmaid dress on A. Valenta's website, but was unable to find it. Does anyone know the style number?
Found the information for you: it's style number AV9838. On the site, it's shown with a black sash. http://www.alvinavalenta.com/alv_bm/display_dress.php?imageno=9838&multimatch=x" REL="nofollow">Here's the direct link
Thank you for the link! Where did you find the invitations at on the website? I have looked at the website but can not figure out which part to go to. Also, we were either thinking pink and navy or pink and aqua for our summer wedding. We will be having an outdoor ceremony in the evening. Does anyone have an opinion on which color combination to use?
For the invitations - if you click on photo gallery - the featured invites are on page 17 - but http://www.custom-programs.com/gallery.php?gall_id=41" REL="nofollow">here is the direct link

About the color: I love both choices. Since I haven't done an aqua blue and pink inspiration board yet, please look for this one next week. I would lean more towards the pink and navy as the wedding is in the evening, especially if you are looking for a more formal affair. But, I think the aqua and pink could be just as spectacular, especially since it's a summer wedding and being held outdoors.
thanks for the link!!! fantastic. I'm always in need of more inspiration. As for the question with tux color, we were thinking tan or gray :)
Are there any other dresses that are light pink with navy sashes or invitations with the same color theme? I am having a hard time finding more types.
