When you are choosing wedding colors, you're setting the tone for the entire wedding. There are as many choices as there are colors in the rainbow but it may be that you can automatically filter out some choices once you start to think about details.
Do you have a favorate flower? If so, you might want to base choices around that color. When picking wedding colors think about your bridesmaid dresses. Invitations are another aspect to consider. When your guests receive their invitations, it is their first clue as to what kind of wedding they'll be attending.
Next you'll want to think about which season you're getting married. Spring suggests soft, gentle colors. Planning a summer wedding? Try bright, bold colors. Fall weddings are the perfect time to embrace harvest hues, and winter weddings are beautiful when centered around rich reds, silver, deep blues and burgundy.
Another direction to go when choosing your wedding colors is to consider the meanings behind individual colors.
- Red represents beauty, strength, passion, celebration and luck.
- Light blue in your wedding suggests health, happiness, patience and creativity.
- Yellow symbolizes intellect, friendship and cooperation.
- Green is the color of fertility, nature, peace and harmony.
- Pink is the hue of love and friendship.
- Orange stimulates, creates energy and is the color or knowledge.
- Purple represents royalty, mystery, spirituality and growth.
- White reflects peace, protection, purity and fairness.
