When You Can't Choose One Color, Paint the Bar

One couple couldn't settle on a single wedding color, and their designers told them not to. They used several pastels, and the bar became the one solid statement: painted by hand in periwinkle, with soft florals massed around the room. For a couple stuck on swatches, it's a way out. Pick one strong piece to carry the boldest shade, and let the flowers do the blending. A painted bar also gives guests a color they will see all night, since everyone ends up there at some point.
