You can put your own spin in these summer wedding colors and how you incorporate the colors into your wedding attire and decor. Here are some wedding colors for 2009 and some ideas.

Pink and red. You may have never thought to put pink and red together, but you'll be pleasantly surprised how well these two colors would work together in your wedding attire and decor. This color combination is good for ultra feminine women that want to have a delicate quality to their wedding theme. Consider having the bridesmaids wear pink dresses with red sashes for a pop of color. Or the bridesmaids could wear one color dress-- pink or red-- and mix up their bouquet with a bundle of pink and red roses. To make the perfect pink and red bouquet visit www.bhg.com. Give your groomsmen solid red vests or cummerbunds as they most likely won't want to wear pink. You can go with a floral theme for your invitations and place settings.

Blue and brown. The next color wedding color combination, blue and brown, you may have seen incorporated in home decor. Now the color combination of blue and brown has made its way to the summer wedding 2009 list as a hot color combination for bridesmaid dresses, groomsmen attire and the other wedding decor that goes along with a woman's special day. To make use of brown and blue in as your wedding color theme, give your bridesmaids a brown tea length dress with a blue sash. The best shades of blue would be aqua or a soft powder blue. Groomsmen can wear blue vests and/or cummerbunds to carry out the theme. Invitations, place settings and wedding favors can incorporate both colors with very modern shapes, such as squares, on solid colors.

Pink and Brown. Your wedding will really stand out if you choose pink and brown as your wedding colors. Make sure that you have the flair and style to pull it off. Brown and pink wedding colors aren't for the faint at heart or the self conscious. You can execute this wedding color combination by making use of solids and patterns. If you choose to use both colors if your bridesmaids dresses go with a pink dress and perhaps a brown sash or shawl if it's an evening wedding affair. For the invitation and place settings you could use pink and brown polka dots to make things really stand out. You can also get really creative with the wedding bouquet by using pink flowers and tied by a distinctive brown ribbon.

    I bet pink and brown would be a very interesting combination. I like the idea of those colors, but as you say, they are not for the weak of heart!

    ps the brown, blue and cream combo that I saw also had a touch of apricot in it, for color. Great article. I enjoyed.
