Picking Wedding Colors
We all have favorite colors. When we’re choosing a pair of socks
or a belt, it’s easy to pick out the shades we love, but when it
comes to picking wedding colors, things get a bit more complicated. There
are so many factors to consider. Suddenly, you have to start thinking
like a designer, and it’s not enough to just pick a color, any bridal colour.
Discover wedding color themes and view photographs of the color combinations applied to ceremonies and silk wedding bouquets.
Good wedding color schemes, or palettes, will tie together all the decorating choices you make for your wedding. You have to choose a primary color, and one or two secondary colors. Don't pick more than three because it will make your wedding color palette look busy. Try using our wedding color tool! Some designers will even tell you that only one complimenting color should be used. However, two shades of the same color can work, or combinations of different primary colors.
On the other hand, a popular trend in wedding design today is to pick
two popular wedding colors that contrast dramatically, like baby blue and chocolate brown,
or lavender and mint green. These wedding color ideas work well for contrast. “Visually, the effect of these contrasts
is stunning,” says design expert Le Rhee. “Brides who really
want to make a statement about their personal style love our Sunflower
and Spur Bouquet, which combines yellow sunflowers with blue larkspurs
to amazing effect.”A great fall wedding color combination is burgandy and orange.
How to choose the perfect wedding color combinations
Because wedding color schemes so often start with a favorite flower, many brides consult with floral designers like Le Rhee in order to help them develop their palettes. A designer may begin this process by asking you to look within yourself to find the colors that best represent who you are, and that best compliment your personal colors (hair color, eye color, etc). For example, blondes should stay away from yellows that make them look washed out, however, if you have dark hair and dark skin, yellow can be a radiant addition to your palette.
Just as important as reflecting who you are is reflecting how you feel.
Color can set a tone and strike a mood, so you must, must, must pick
a palette that is going to put all your guests in the same mindset as
you. For example, reds and oranges and yellows create a mood of excitement
and fun, while pale blues and greens create a mood of peace and harmony,
and metallic colors bring cool elegance to the event. By choosing the
right wedding colors, you will actually be able to direct the feel and flow of
your ceremony and your reception. Also, try taking a look at popular wedding colors that brides and stars are using. Get a list of the top wedding colors.
Picking Wedding Colors
If the introspective color search isn’t cutting it, designers suggest that marrying couples look to their surroundings to find inspiration. For example, each season has colors that compliment it best. Consider metallics and brilliant reds in the winter, and green and yellow – the colors of growth and life for summer wedding colors. Oranges and reds of changing leaves with their Persimmon Fall Bouquet work best for fall wedding color schemes. One of the most popular wedding colors is red mixed with black and white. This works great for winter theme.
Location will also be a consideration. Maybe you’re getting married
in the lodge where you first met and your reception is across the street. In this case, browns and greens should
make up your palette. Or maybe the ceremony is at the butterfly conservatory
where he proposed. In this case, tropical pinks, like those found in Le
Rhee’s gorgeous Hawaiian Wedding Bouquet, will turn the scene into
a slice of paradise. The beach? Perfect for pearly whites and cool blues,
like those found in Le Rhee’s Pool Blue Colorful Bouquet.
The Bouquet at the Heart of Your Palette
There are as many places to start designing your palette as there are
bobby pins holding your veil in place. But often, as mentioned above,
the wedding color schemes that work the best start with something as simple as
a flower. The brilliant orange of a tiger lily, the passionate red of
a perfect rose, the sultry shimmer of lilac, or the vibrant blue of delphinium.
When you walk down the aisle with bouquet in hand, you are the center
of the universe. “The bouquet is the point where the entire color
and design scheme of a wedding radiates out from,” says Le Rhee.
“That’s why I work, so the memory of that moment will
last forever.” And that’s why it’s so important to pick
the right wedding colors. Choosing top wedding colors and your theme is one of the most and creative parts of planning. If these memories are going to last
forever, on film, and in photographs, then they had better look
amazing!
