How to Choose Your Wedding Colours
Wedding dress, flowers, church, reception, cake topper, decorations, music AND wedding colours. Although it sounds overwhelming, choosing wedding colours can really be fairly easy.
If you are having bridesmaids, then choosing the bridesmaids dress is extremely important. One way to simplify choosing wedding colours is to visit a wedding store with your bridesmaids. Choose a dress that looks good and everyone is comfortable in. This is very important, too often the bridesmaids end up in an uncomfortable dress that fits poorly. Now what you do is just ask what colours the dress comes in. You just eliminated all the colours the dress doesn't come in. Once you decide on a colour for their dresses, you can use this as a main colour for your wedding - that's the easy way !
When choosing your wedding colours think about the different colours that you like most. You may want to choose a main colour and one or two accent colours for visual beauty. If you really don't have a favourite colour - or if it really isn't suitable for a main wedding colour, think about the season that you're getting married in.
If you're planning a spring or summer wedding go with pastels and lighter, brighter colours. For winter ceremonies you might want to consider darker tones like purples and burgundies. Or you can also use red and silver for more of a Christmas theme wedding. For an autumn wedding, using yellows, oranges and even reds can provide a warm harvest-time feel.
Once you have chosen a main wedding colour, you can always use a colour wheel, which artists use to accent colours in paintings. Using a wheel will help you choose another colour or two that will compliment your main scheme.
No matter what you choose for your wedding colours, remember that this is a detail that will stick out the most with your guests. It will be the centre and focal point of flowers, dresses and decorations. So, be sure when you choose a colour, 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.
Another idea to help in choosing wedding colours is thinking about what the colours represent. For instance, reds read as vibrant and energizing. Blue is cooler, more relaxing and offers a calming vibe. Greens are comforting, refreshing and tranquil, and yellows offer happiness and brightness, giving off an uplifting spirit.
Other possibilities to help you choose wedding colours are team colours (if you are a sports fan), colours that you saw used in a favorite movie or book, or maybe dominant colours from a time period that gives you that "loving feeling". You don't have to have a ‘wedding theme' to have a ‘colour scheme'. Be comfortable in the colours that you choose.
However you eventually choose the colours for your wedding, make sure that they relate back to who you are and to the mood you are trying to set. Don't let anyone talk you into colours that you don't like - you need to be happy with what you choose because after all, this is your wedding.
