I want to have my wedding in may and I am positive I want a beach wedding and I want it to be classy and not a lot of bright colors. Any color combinations? Pictures?

Azure blue, peach, yellow, parrot green, tan
think about what kind of coulors you see people wearing when youre down the beach. im not a real big beach guy. i would say some white flowers and some blue colours.
a friend of mine had her wedding on the beach and she went with a cream and aqua colored bridesmaid gowns and they carries coral colored bouquets, it was so pretty against the beach setting. I was kind of gritting my teeth when she first told me about the colors because you think aqua would be really bright but it was so soft with a cream colored sash around their waists and the coral colored flowers just set it all off. Beautiful
I dont exact pictures but the aqua color was sort of like this one:

A good idea would be to go to a paint store and look at the color charts and paint chips that they have to see if you can come up with a nice combination that would be classy and yet subdued. Usually if there is a woman working in that department she will be able to help you out a little.
Another idea is to go to the fabric store and look at the different colors of fabric and the salesperson should be able to help you match some colors. Maybe you might want to buy a small strip of several colors to match. You can ask if they sell small strips.
Make sure you know if the water is blue or blue/green or some other color so there isn’t a color contrast with your colors.
By having the visual of the colors it will be much easier to make a decision that will be pleasing to you and your future spouse.
I recently saw a bride and groom on the beach getting married and she had on a simple light pink long A line type summer dress and he had on a lightweight casual white jacket and pants with a light pink shirt to match her dress and it was very pretty and classy looking. They looked like they should be on top of a cake.
Oh! Manolobrides.com posted about this great color tool a while back.

I don’t believe it was originally intended to be something to pick out wedding colors with, but it’s a lot of fun to play around with and look at how the colors look in pictures. I like to pick a shade of green for the first color so that most of the images that show up are flowers and flower arrangements.
Sorry I can not send you a picture but if you wanna keep with the spring fever and add a little bit of beach party craze in there then I would suggest going with peaches and whites. Then it’s traditional that means class and it’s got that spring beach flavor with the peaches.
How about a soft yellow, like canary yellow? It would go well with the beach atmosphere, but isn’t as bold as a bright blue or green. I think yellow and white would be great together, very simple but beautiful.
Just click on the canary yellow to view the dress in that color: http://www.davidsbridal.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplayView?storeId=10052&catalogId=10051&categoryId=-49998973&colorName=Canary&subCategory=-49998976|-49998975|-49998973&top_category=&catentryId=6097107
Both orange/brown and red/brown would remind me of autumn, although the latter could also be a robin. =P
Oh, I loved this, Paula – so funny! And I guess a beach wedding in July would be better than a Brooklyn wedding in July!
Although I think I'd prefer my Brooklyn wedding in the AC than one in the vineyard in the baking sun – yuck! Like you said, what's wrong with the fall or even the spring? Let's encourage our kids to have spring or fall weddings one day… in the distant future. 
It's gotta be L.A.
I've never seen such a blue sky and the green of the palm trees..
and the beige sands and all the colourful shops.
Very nice.
Belly made life seem cooler than what it actually was. Hype uses color combinations flawlessly.
Thank you so much for the encouraging words! It’s truly amazing how someone whom one has never met can make a difference in another’s life just by kind words. Bless you! I love the first pix in the third row…the one next to it is unique but a little freaky…and I love the bright colors in the middle pix in the fourth row. You really find amazing photos!
