Color Scheme Help!

So the other day my fiance walked in as I was watching TV (unrelated confession: lately my TV has been locked on bridal shows) and asked if he could help with anything with the wedding

I KNOW RIGHT!!!!!

YES he offered and NO it wasn't a sneaky ploy so he can get the big TV to play Xbox-- he genuinely wanted to help!

So after I shook myself out of shock and picked myself off the floor and checked for the apocalypse we started looking at color schemes.

I think he got a little in over his head as color choices started dwindling down. None the less, I'm pretty sure poor fiance won't be offering his helpful services willingly again.

I did mention I was dramatic right? I hate everything I slightly dislike and the adjectives get more colorful from there. :D

I know I talk too much so here are my questions?

I would love some advice from people with a tad more experience or who can relate.

Our wedding is in August which is apparently a Summer/Fall type season in Canada. We've narrowed it down to 3 color schemes that we think is unique. We're young (not too young) and we're fun and I'm artsy and quirky and he's just goofy and fun so I'd love a scheme that's going to reflect our youthful nature but still have that autumn feel, is still elegant and innovative.If that makes any sense.

As we pull out the palettes, however, I'm concerned that we're getting too in depth with the colors. I normally see people stick to a two color scheme- but these are 3 and four colors at a time.

If I get more in specifics with the colors and add hues and shades like "champagne" , and "cerulean"is it harder to match that exact shade? Should I just stick to the basic two color scheme and go from there? Or is it better that I be specific after all I am planning my whole wedding and I have enough time to really search for colors? Do I limit myself to a box when I pick a palette this specific? I'd love some advice also your thoughts on the three color schemes that I've picked! Any response would be lovely.
