Wedding Color Selection

Brides on their wedding colors really help to set the tone for the entire event set. After all, everything we know that a silver and golden wedding will be formal, a pink and green preppy, and a red and green wedding Christmas. But not every bride knows the secrets to choosing a wedding color palette that really works. These tips on wedding colors will you to a good start.


The first thing to remember is that people are tired of seeing the same old, same old. Although there is something to be said for the marriage of classics - roses, pearl bridal jewelry, limousines - you do not want your marriage to be quite predictable. A good way to avoid this potential pitfall is choosing wedding colors, which is unexpected. So maybe instead of decorating a decrease in the standard wedding perfect autumn leaf colors like orange, yellow and red, you may decide to eggplant and sage green color palette to have. It would be equally suitable for the season, but your marriage will not like the other fall wedding. The same idea can be used as a springboard to break with the most predictable wedding color schemes.

Another good tip when choosing your wedding colors is to prevent the pallets that are visually shocking. Very high contrast combinations like black and white can be difficult to live with, and can not be seen best in the wedding photos. It's fine to choose a high contrast design duo as your main focus, just a third accent shadow that falls somewhere in the middle. For example, a monochrome palette softened with the occasional hint of blush pink with a vintage romantic feel, or accents of apple green to a new contemporary style.

For vibrant color palettes with caution. Although the festive fun and optimistic tone for the wedding flowers and decorations have too much of a good thing can be overwhelming. Always build some visual points for the eye to rest. If your color scheme is hot pink, mango and lime, mix it with lots of crisp white. A yellow color scheme can be toned with gray or creamy tones. This way you retain the dynamics of your signature colors, while a color scheme that is easy to live with.

Another thing to remember when choosing colors for your wedding is that they should reflect who you are more than what the latest trends are. Every few years, a color is so popular for weddings that are done to death and ends up feeling very unoriginal. The Tiffany blue wedding trend is one example. You're much better off designing a wedding color palette that's meaningful to you personally, than slavishly follow what you see in bridal magazines. If you like romantic vintage look of lace and beautiful pearl bridal jewelry, choose a combination of soft apricot, cream and dove gray.


Or maybe you have a sentimental connection with a color like your grandmother's favorite shade of Wedgewood blue. This can be a great source of inspiration for your wedding color scheme are. If the colors have meaning for you, the whole wedding design feel more personal.
