Wedding Colors for 2008 ...
Nine Colors and White: The Supreme Wedding Color
 Particularly popular for coming spring is Golden  Olive (1), Spring Crocus (2), Rococco Red (3), and Pink Mist (4). “The spring ‘08 color palette perfectly reflects the cheerfulness of the season,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, the leading color formula authority respected within the fashion, advertising and the printing industry. These colors are variations on classic combination colors, with Pink Mist an especially durable and wearable purple, and Rococco Red a provocative splash color.
Strong Snorkel Blue (9), a favorite with spring designers, is a traditional navy, but with an animated flair.
The earth tones of Daiquiri Green (8), a bright complement to popular earth-tone shades is in contrasts with invigorating Freesia (6), an uplifting and inviting color with a wide appeal; it is also a hue that translates easily to accessorizing opportunities with jewelry and shoes.

WHITE:
The Supreme Wedding Color
Elegant white dresses; white cakes; white formal announcement stationary: it all says wedding in a way that transcends every color arrangement and color accessory. Here are ideas on making a dominant white central to your planning:
Black is the complement to white in an easy, dramatic way. Use vintage-style back and white stamps on wedding announcements to keep the color theme unified and strong. Add to this with black or grey envelope liners.
Silver on ribbons or as metallic string binding together gift boxes shows off white wrapping and detail without competing for attention.
Clear Glass place settings on white maintains the cool, clean elegance of formality. Take it even further with sculpted ice settings and silvery stainless-steel plates and bowls.
Gray and Silver together as accents make white glow with purity and warmth. The combinations are endless and experimentation can reveal your best choices.
A wintery Vermont is a perfect showcase for a truly white wedding.
