Trying to Combine Colors

I've been working on putting a new mood board together now that we've found our venue. But I'm having a hard time sticking to a color scheme. Originally I wanted to do pink & orange. But now I'm feeling like that limits the feel of the wedding. Pink & Orange are bright and fun. I want that, but I also want the more elegant feel that comes with pink and gold, or pink and chocolate. So, I'm wondering... can I combine all of those colors? Can I go with several different shades of pink and orange and use gold and chocolate as accent colors? I think it could be really pretty, but I'm having trouble pulling together examples. Here's what I've come up with so far.

The Right Fit

Ok, call me crazy... but I have some new and different ideas for our wedding. Yeah I know, I thought I had it all figured out. Well, to no surprise, I didn't have everything figured out.

I found my dress last weekend. THE dress. Now that I have that, I feel like the style of the dress adds a little bit of a different feel to the wedding. Its a very princessy style, so I thought maybe we should swing that way and add things like hanging crystals, candelabras, bubbles. Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to go super cheesy and turn it into a Disney's Cinderella theme. (Although I wouldn't mind arriving in a pumpkin carriage, just to say I did it.) But my ring is princess cut so why not add a little enchantment into the evening? Mood board to come! (Man, I love those things.)
