Dreaming about your wedding is one thing; planning it is another. From wedding dresses to cakes and tuxedos to flowers – every aspect of your wedding must be carefully planned to “fall in place” on the big day! If you’ve been to one wedding or several, you probably realize the importance of wedding colors. Everything about the wedding is planned according the colors the bride chooses. So, here’s a quick guide to help you plan your wedding colors.
Choose the Right Color for Your Wedding Dress
Many brides use their favorite colors for their wedding – pink, red, fuchsia, burgundy, plum, mauve, purple, or blue. But before you choose colors, see if you can’t find some photos of various weddings from the past. Look at a variety of color patterns and combinations before making your choice. You might find colors that you like much better than your usual favorites, after all the color isn’t all about you, you need something that will look good all round.
Consider how the colors of your wedding dresses will look with other colorful items once it is all put together for the big wedding day. The bridesmaid dresses will be matched with flowers, tuxedos, mother of the bride dresses, flower girl dresses, accessories, and even the reception decor.
Flowers are particularly important. Many brides choose to carry a calla lily wedding bouquet, hence your choice of wedding colors could be built around the colors of calla lilies, flame orange, red, burgundy, deep purple, black, white and many shades of pink. One of my favorites is yellow, a wonderful color filled with sunshine; for an unusual effect team with yellow flowers with black and white striped bridesmaids dresses.
