Choosing the right colors for your wedding can be tricky because sometimes you don’t know how the colors will affect the feel and mood of your wedding. Unless you’re color savvy, you probably don’t know how colors go together and what each color means. Well, here are some simple color rules that will help you plan your wedding. As a general rule of thumb, you can use different shades of the same colors to create a monochromatic scheme. This can always work and that’s just so love·lee.
Reds and Pinks
The combination of red and pink can create a rich and warm atmosphere. It is the symbol of love and passion.
Oranges
Light oranges are warm and inviting. It will give you a fresh summer feel. Just be sure to use the darker oranges conservatively because it can become too overwhelming and dark.
Browns
Because brown is a neutral color, it can work well with any colors. If you have an autumn wedding, you can combine browns with oranges or reds to create the fall season look. Try not to use browns alone because it can become too boring. Add an accent color here and there. I’m a fan of colors.
Yellows
Yellows work very well with greens and oranges. The citrus burst effect creates an upbeat, lively environment for your guests. Just try not to use neon yellow unless you’re planning an 80’s theme.
Greens
Green is perhaps one color that almost everyone likes. Using any shades of green especially soft sage is a great main or accent color to any event because it can go with almost any other color.
Blues
Because blue is a cool color, the mood will be calming and soothing. Think of the sky and the ocean. Isn’t that what zen is all about? This is definitely one color that can go an extra mile for you.
Purples
Many people are afraid of the color purple because they are not sure how to use it. In apparels, purple will work well with all skin colors. When using purples in decors, try combining it with different shades of blues and even pinks. Green will work beautifully because they are complementary colors but be careful not to make your wedding look like a Mardi Gras celebration. Try a darker purple with a lighter green or vice versa. The contrast can be bold and daring.
