Wedding Wednesday: Choosing Your Color Scheme

Source

The colors you choose for that day set the style and tone for the entire event. You can use color in your bridesmaid's dresses, decorations, cake, favors, flowers, accessories, table linens and even invitations. Choose colors you love but also consider the following:

1. Where is the wedding reception? Choose colors that complement the setting. Consider the carpeting, drapery, decor, etc.
2. What mood do you want to create? Vibrant colors add drama, while soft colors evoke a more romantic atmosphere.
3. What time of year will you get married? The seasons can influence your color choices. Spring and Summer weddings tend to have lighter colors, while Fall and Winter colors tend to be darker.

Although much has been written on how colors can affect moods, colors mean different things in different cultures, so avoid focusing on them too much. The following tools can help you choose a coordinated color scheme.
