Designing Your Wedding Color Palette
A well-chosen wedding color palette will really help to create the ambiance for your celebration. A great idea is to design the color palette based on the mood you are trying to create, such as seasonal, elegant, natural, or dramatic. These are some tips on how to mix and match colors to create the perfect palette for your wedding.
Elegant: neutral and metallic colors are ideal for very elegant weddings. For a graceful and upscale effect, combine bronze with blush, gold with ivory, and white with silver. The wedding cake, table linens, bridesmaid jewelry and dresses, and even the wedding flowers are all different aspects of your wedding that you can incporporate these beautiful color palettes with. Use your metallic and neutral palette with fancy elements such as baroque or scroll patterns (great for invitations and the cake), crown motifs, and ornate calligraphy for the programs, invitations, and menus. The effect will be very beautiful and impressive.
Natural: If you love the great outdoors, a natural wedding color palette is ideal for you. Choose your color combination based on the part of nature you especially enjoy. Your color combinations could include green and brown for forest colors; blue, white, and sandy for beach colors; and mushroom,green, and wheat for neutral colors. Play up the natural side of your wedding colors with layers of matte textures. Think woven raffia chargers under stoneware dishes for the reception tables, bark vessels for centerpieces, and handmade paper leaves for the escort cards. As for the wedding attire, fabrics such as shantung or linen will work better than shiny satin for both the bride and the bridesmaids. Choose outdoor or beachy bridesmaid jewelry in one of the natural colors, or in organically shaped keshi pearls.
Seasonal: Celebrate the time of year with a seasonal wedding color palette. Wedding flowers are beautiful when designed in pretty pastels for the spring. Spring palettes are well represented with lilac hyacinths, pink tulips, and yellow mini-daffodils and would create a beautiful effect. Seasonal colors are brighter for the summer months and include lime and hot pink, fuchsia and orange, and sky blue and yellow. For a fall wedding, highlight the season with classical autumnal hues: harvest gold, russet, deep orange, cranberry, and mocha. Play up the theme with details such as a falling leaf design on the wedding cake and Swarovski crystal leaf pendants for the bridesmaid jewelry. Tree and forest green, elegant red, and pure white are all winter colors that share a common characteristic: they are all so crisp. Another wintry color palette can include a snowflake theme celebration with white, silver, and pale ice blue.
Dramatic: Be brave and bold! A dramatic wedding color palette could include combinations of eggplant purple, gurgundy, and gold. Royal blue with a bronze tone is another beautiful color combination. Imagine how stunning your bridesmaids would look in royal blue silk dresses with bronze crystal bridesmaid jewelry and ivory bouquets with bronze ribbons. High contrast colors are also an excellent tool for creating drama; this has a lot to do with the popularity of black and white theme weddings in recent seasons. Add an unexpected pop of a bright color to a high contrast palette, such as lime, magenta, or taxi-cab yellow, for a unique design.
These are just a few ideas for your wedding color palette. Anything that captures your fancy is really what to go for including a preppy style, a whimsical feeing and a retro vibeIf you are looking for wedding color palette inspiration, begin by looking through magazines and browsing the internet.
