Dare to color your wedding bold



Colors and color tunes paint the ambiance and character of weddings. The subtle and subdued colors of white, ivory and pale pink give weddings the traditional and classical feel and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. However, to create a color ensemble that is uniquely memorable; wedding planners must dare to infuse the wedding with in bold, sassy and attention grabbing combinations of bright lively colors such as, for instance:

Royal purple with bright orange
Olive green with sky blue
Chocolate brown with lime green
Metallic grey with canary yellow
Pitch black with blood red
Aqua turquoise with deep scarlet
Lively tangerine and celadon green
Navy blue with golden yellow
Hot pink with purplish lavender
Eggplant purple with corral red


For ideas and inspiration of unusual color blends, wedding planners need to look around their own world of nature; at wild and domesticated flowers, at insects, at fish and at all other animals, as well as at sunrises and sunsets, and at clouds and rainbows. Of course, inspiration for wedding palettes can also come from the world of vogue and its countless fashion magazines; from the world of art and its multitudes of paintings; as well as from holidays such as Christmas with greens and reds; Easter with bright yellows, oranges and pinks; St. Valentine’s Day with various shades of pinks and reds; Hollowing with pumpkin orange and bewitching black; and St. Patrick’s Day with Kelly greens. The truth is that wedding color palettes can come from any external source as well as from one’s own imagination.

Once the decision about the color scheme and their combined blend has been reached; it is time to decide how, where and when to use them. The most logical ways to used wedding color combinations are in the flower arrangements of the bride’s and her bridesmaids’ bouquets, in decorating the ceremony and the reception sites and in the table centerpieces. But the same color combinations can also be applied to the bridesmaids’ dresses and their hairpieces, to the flowers in the lapels of the groom and his groomsmen, to the table linens and the table settings, to the chair coverings and, of course, to the wedding stationery.

In conclusion, if you want your wedding to stand out and be remembered and talked about as having been particularly special, exceptionally lively and uniquely interesting; make a statement by daring to decorate it with bold and out of the ordinary colors.
