Take chances with your wedding colors
Who says you need to stick with combos like white/lilac or chocolate/pink or ivory/mint? I vote for more dramatic wedding color themes, like the sage/orange combo that Tony and Melanie rocked at their amazing 2004 wedding in California.
The entire photoset is pure magic. Colors are just the beginning of the great inspiration you'll find over here.
(Thanks to skyvillain_events for the photo!)

Hey, thanks for linking to my photos! Their wedding was magical, and was achieved with the help of many friends for under a few thousand dollars. It was perfect.

Ahhh! So jealous. Beautiful pictures, beautiful dress. And jealous of the price tags. . . I check the offbeat bride site all the time to be inspired by pictures like these! Mika

Those two just look so perfect together. And the bride stands out so much with all the orange, it's fabulous.
