Choosing Your Wedding Colors
by Shaan Randow
Wedding dress, flowers, church, reception, cake topper,
decorations, music AND wedding colors. Although it sounds
daunting, choosing wedding colors is really quite simple.
When choosing your wedding colors think about the different
colors that you like most. You may want to choose a main color
and one or two accent colors for visual beauty. If you really
don’t have a favorite color, think about the season that you’re
getting married in. If you’re planning a spring or summer
wedding go with pastels and brighter colors. For winter
ceremonies try darker purples and burgundies. You can also use
red and silver for a more Christmas themed wedding. For a fall
wedding, oranges, yellows and even reds can give a warm harvest
feel.
One thing to remember when choosing your wedding colors is not
to overdue black. Although it is perfectly acceptable and
popular to incorporate black into the wedding, over using it
can give the feel of a funeral rather than a union of two
hearts.
Once you have chosen a main wedding color, you can always use a
color wheel, which artists use to accent colors in paintings.
Using a wheel will help you choose another color or two that
will compliment your main scheme.
Another way to simplify choosing wedding colors is to visit a
wedding boutique store with your bridesmaids. Choose a dress
that looks good and everyone is comfortable in. Then ask the
clerk what colors the dress comes in. By doing this, you will
be narrowing down the colors to choose from. Once you decide on
a color for their dresses, use this as a main color for your
wedding.
No matter what you choose for your wedding colors, this is a
detail that will stick out the most with your guests. It will
be the center and focal point of flowers, dresses and
decorations. So, be sure when you choose a color, you choose
carefully and be sure it is something that compliments your
wedding party and the atmosphere that you want to set for your
wedding.
Other possibilities to help you choose wedding colors are team
colors, if you are a sports fan, colors that you saw used in
your favorite movie or book, or maybe a time period that gives
you that “loving feeling”. You don’t have to have a ‘wedding
theme’ to have a ‘color scheme’. Be comfortable in the colors
that you choose.
Another idea to help in choosing wedding colors is thinking
about what the colors represent. For instance, blue is cool,
relaxing and offers a calming vibe. Red reads vibrant and
energizing. Green is comforting, refreshing and tranquil, and
yellow offers happiness and brightness, giving off an uplifted
spirit.
Choose colors for your wedding that will relate back to who you
are and what mood you are trying to set. Be happy with what you
choose because after all, this is your wedding.
