Wedding Colors
It's one of the biggest decisions you'll make about your wedding: COLOR! Your wedding color (or colors) will determine so many other important elements of your wedding, like your bridesmaids' dresses, which flowers you will carry and decorate with and even the style of your wedding cake.
But how do you begin choosing your wedding colors? Read on for some helpful hints and pointers for deciding on the best and most beautiful shades for your day.
The Dream
Are you the bride who has had your wedding planned since you were 4 years old? Go back to those dreams and pick out the colors and details and apply them to the dream come true! If you always envisioned a pure white gown, red roses and bright silver accents, then by all means make that your wedding color palette.
The Favorites
As in, your favorite colors. Have you always been crazy over pink? Are you a classic dresser, favoring black and white or cream with a touch of showy color like lime or yellow or blue? Translate your great style and your favorite colors into your wedding. Guests will see right away that your event is so "you!"
If you're stuck on choosing wedding colors, let Mother Nature do the work for you! Consider the season of your wedding and take your color cues from what's blossoming or showing up in nature. Think pastels and greens for spring, bold and bright colors for summer, rich browns and rusts and jewel tones for autumn, and icy blue and silver or traditional red and green for winter.
Keep your heritage, history and family traditions in mind when you're choosing wedding colors. Brides of Asian heritage may want to choose an elegant combination of red and gold to represent good fortune. Brides with an Irish lineage could incorporate shades of green to call to mind the Emerald Isle.
The Fashion Forecast
If you're a fashionista, you're surely already ahead of the fashion colors trending for the next season. Look ahead to your favorite style guides, fashion magazines and color experts like Pantone, who release their top color picks for the upcoming seasons in plenty of time for you to plan a wedding that's right in color style.
