I am using ivory and silver for my wedding this August. For my third color, either pink or lilac. Which will.?

I am using ivory for myself and flower girl, bridesmaids are wearing silver and my husband to be is wearing a gray suit. The reception wall painting is ivory, and we are using white linen and ivory roses for the centrepiece. I want to use either lilac or pink for my third color and i would like to know which one will complete well. As the linens are white, i would like some suggestions on what color to use for my favors, disposable tissues and the best petal colors to decorate the table.





Any suggestion on my husband to be shirt and tie color would also be nice.





Thanks

they both go well but if you choose pink go for a pastel shade because it will go better. Pink it more traditional but if youre not that kind of person lilac it cute too.
Reply:Lilac. !
Reply:Lilac would complement everything. Royal Purple would look beautiful also.
Reply:lilac!
Reply:Well lilac is very nice, and goes well w/ the ivory and silver. But my question to you is, does your husband mind wearing a pink or lilac tie or shirt??? It's a bit feminine....other colors that go really well w/ the silver and ivory would be pale yellow or perhaps just basic black. If those colors are too boring for you, you could spice it up a bit by adding very brightly colored floral arrangements around the room and tables. For instance bright yellow daises w/ a hot pink flower to go w/ them, mixed in w/ some pale pink flowers would look nice. Congratulations by the way!!

petals pink or red?





nd husbands shirt....let him decide....its his weddding also ;)
Reply:I think that lilac will offset the silver and ivory really well. It is soft and romantic without being overly girly or Barbie looking. You could also consider using both lilac and deeper purple shades. IE, use some deep purples in a few distinct areas, like in centerpieces, etc for some contrast and panache, but use the softer lilac shade for tissues, petals, etc. I have seen too many weddings where they went totally overboard on the pastels, everything looks like a big Easter egg, lol.





As for your husband, I think a traditional white shirt with a solid purple tie would look very nice. Just make sure it is a very good quality silk tie. If your husband is uncomfortable with a purple tie, you may be able to find a multicolored tie that has purple accents in it.





Good luck! Hope your wedding turns out great!
Reply:I suggest lilac. If you DO end up going with pink, choose something very pale and kind of...Eh...Metallic looking, for lack of better words. Not a bright punch-to-the-cornea pink.
Reply:If you want something that POPS! go with a bright pink. If you don't want it to POP! go with lilac. (:
