Color Board
Our Colors are Navy and Apple Green. We're using Granny Smith Apples in a lot of our decorations throughout the ceremony and reception. I can't wait to see how it all plays out!
We are going for a crisp, clean, classic look for the reception. All white flowers, navy linens. Almost preppy.
What your wedding colors say about you
Navy
Soothing, compassionate and cool, blue is the color of tranquility and royalty. Blue belles are deliberate, introspective, conservative and patient, tending to be sensitive and wise. Serene and cool, blue denotes cautious partners who are faithful but require a calm and harmonious existence. From watery aqua to a deep shade of midnight, blue can be soft and sweet or strong and bold.

Green
Green shades symbolize life, freshness, nature and fertility. A common choice for eco-friendly brides, green shows that you value your health and the environment. A harmonized and balanced color, green is a mixture of warm yellow and cool blue, just like its admirers. A calming and tranquil hue, brides who select green are affectionate, frank and responsible. You seek stability and balance, yet remain fiercely principled and refined.
