Color Combination: Fuchsia & French Blue

This vibrant color combination—fuchsia & French blue—came to me from one of my best friends. She was married in September at her family’s cottage off Lake Maxinkuckee in Culver, Ind. The pink and blue hues accentuated the clear blue sky and lake, which was the perfect backdrop for her reception on the lawn.

The fuchsia and blue ties paired with navy suits, along with the J.Crew bridesmaid dresses, added a preppy twist. After the wedding, the bride said her colors weren’t quite what she had initially envisioned. It was beautiful nonetheless! As is the wedding below by table 6 productions.

Not crazy about the brightness of fuchsia? Try pairing your favorite blue with mauve or cranberry.

    This is a great color combo and I love the idea of blue in the groom’s shirts! The flower ideas are endless and it’s a great blend of masculine and feminine. Thanks for putting this together!

Not only is Caron Cooper Weller a self-employed writer/graphic designer/jack of all trades, but she is also a newlywed! She was born in Michigan, raised in Florida and “followed” her high school sweetheart to Texas, where she was educated in life and love (and academics on the side). After earning her degree from SMU and realizing “happily every after” wasn’t in the cards just yet, she followed her heart to Los Angeles, back to Dallas, then to Raleigh, before returning to her home in Florida—home is where the heart is, after all.

Caron and her husband reside in the Orlando area with their dog, Abbey Road. Read More…
