Wedding colour scheme - am I dumb cause I don’t get it?

So obviously I have heard of wedding colour schemes. It was among the first things I thought of when I got engaged. But beyond a small detail on my wedding invite and my bridesmaids dresses I can’t really think of where else to incorporate it. I don’t want finance’s tie to match the colour of the bridesmaid dresses for example as I think that is too matchy matchy. Df is doing a navy suit no waistcoat (something similar to attached) so he can rewear. I would have liked a black tux but oh well.

I guess I can tie a bit of ribbon in our colour on the menu that will be at the place setting.

What am I missing???

My flowers are various shades of white, cream, blush pink roses.

I might do the name cards in the colour. But it doesn’t feature a lot. Worried it looks half arsed.

Ours was a soft light pink (not too far from white tbh!). The things we had in that colour were: bridesmaid’s dresses, groom/groomsmen’s ties, flowers, chair sashes, the welcome sign, table number signs and wax seals on invites & favour boxes.

I mean I don’t want everything one color. But equally would like a cohesive look where there is a family of mixed/complimentary colours. But I haven’t found many places to achieve this.

Ok, I get that. In that case would you do maybe all pastel colours so it has like a “soft” look? Your tables and flowers look lovely so you could use those colours as a base.
What’s your cake like? Could you add some flowers or a bit of colour to match on that?
