Multi-color Wedding Photos & Themes


Most weddings consist of a two to three color pallet. I've seen more than a few weddings, and one of my favorite color schemes is one that includes more than the average. The peacock-wedding theme is vibrant, unique, and surprisingly easy! The pictures turn out phenomenal, and bridesmaids love the sense of individuality they get to have. 

The Peacock Color Theme

 This pallet consists of three main wedding colors: emerald, purple, and royal blue. Think of all colors in a peacock tail though; include the turquoise and the yellowy golds.

So, how can you execute this theme to look exotic and vibrant, not confusing and busy? The trick is having consistency throughout the wedding. For example, if your napkins vary in color, then refrain from doing the same with tablecloths.
 



Guest Tables

A great idea is to keep the tablecloths uniform, consider gold or emerald tablecloths with contrasting napkins and stemware. Consider peacock feathers in vases for the centerpieces

Bridesmaid Dresses

The bridesmaids set the theme, with varying dresses. Ideally, this is where you mix things up, because your bridesmaids will kill it in whatever you ask them to wear! Traditionally bridesmaids have the same color, with sometimes a different cut. To put a unique spin on your theme, keep your bridesmaids in the same style dress, but assign them each a “peacock” color. That will be her theme for the night. Their jewelry and bouquets should match their dress color as well.


Head Table

When most people think peacock, they think purple, green, and blue. You may include various peacock décor through the night, but your head table should consist of these three colors.
