Color Palette Conundrum

I'm at a total loss for our color palette. After changing venues, we're back to the drawing board. Our new venue has a gold ceiling, just like the Cathedral- so I'd like to keep gold as an accent color. I'm drawn to the warmth of a gold/champagne/peach palette, but I've always loved blues and I'd like to incorporate that on our wedding day. Here's some palettes I'm into right now.

I'd love to hear your opinions. Can I do teal/gold/royal without looking like Mardi Gras or too gaudy? Would peach/apricot/gold be too muted for the end of summer? Please help me out. Any suggestions for palettes using gold would be greatly appreciated!

{Gold, Peach, Apricot}
{Gold, Royal Blue, Teal}
and perhaps accents of purple
{Gold & Navy}

I think you should do whatever color palette makes you happy. Don't worry about the season. Think about what flowers you love or how the reception tables will look with each individual palette. Something will jump out at you :)

Gold and navy all the way - you know I'm such a fan of that deep blue!

I love them all, but I love the muted color palat the best. I did muted at my late July wedding and somehow I felt that the soft colors helped to offset the heat and humidity of the season.

I LOVE that middle palette. LOVE IT.

I think you can totally do it without looking ridiculous. I'll even help ;) That is how in love with it I am.

i love all three. i think you should look for a specific item (invitation/bmaid dress/etc) with colors you love & go from there. it would suck to pick out colors, then find an invite or a dress that don't go.

I really like the Gold, Royal Blue, Teal. You have more room to play with colors and find the things you really like!

Wait, did I miss something? WHERE is the new venue. Are you eff-ing with me? Do not toy with a bride a mere 39 days from her wedding! Do tell!

I refuse to vote on said color palette until I am properly informed of the locale. ;)

I'm loving the gold and navy, i think it's classic and not too trendy either :)

we just did an aqua, gold and ivory color palette for a july wedding and it was gorgeous. I'm drawn to your apricot palette but honestly I'm curious to know your venue to know what exactly kind of colors and style translate with that.
