3 Cool Color Tips for Your Wedding Day
The idea of picking “wedding colors” may seem a bit dated. However, many couples still pick a color palette, and with good reason. The colors you choose can set the tone and feel for your ceremony. So, with that in mind, choose them with care. And, if you’re feeling stuck or unsure, don’t panic. These three simple tips can help.
Tip #1: Don’t Go Overboard
There are a lot of beautiful colors in the world. However, you don’t need to use all of them in your wedding décor. Too many clashing colors can turn your beautiful ceremony into a big mess. So, for best results, keep thing simple when it comes to color. Ideally, you should have no more than four central colors, and they all need to complement each other. Pick any more than that, and your wedding can easily become a not-so-elegant eyesore.
Tip #2: Choose Your Colors Early
As mentioned, colors set the tone for your wedding. And, if you want to set the right tone from the start, you’ll need to choose your colors early. For best results, even your wedding invitations should be in your color scheme. Colors can influence everything from what guests wear to your wedding to how they behave. Cool, neutral colors, for example, make a wedding seem more serious, while whimsical or fun colors bring out the lighter side. There’s not really a wrong type of wedding, but you should promptly choose colors that suit your style.
Tip #3: Consider Your Venue
As a final tip, try not to choose your colors until after you’ve chosen you’re venue. That can be tricky if you’re having a hard time securing a spot. But, if you can manage it, do it. Many venues have distinct colors and styles of their own. If you pick colors after the fact, you could be in for clashing colors and an overall look that’s not at all what you envisioned.
Your wedding represents you, your partner, and the life you are building together. As such, plan it with care, right down to the color scheme. It’s sure to make your big day all the more special and meaningful.
