How to Choose Your Wedding Theme or Colors

You’ve been waiting for your special day for a long time now, planning every little feature from the shoes to the color and theme of your wedding. With infinite options from which to choose, you can explore the idea of a barefoot beach ceremony, an English romance theme, or maybe even a winter wonderland theme. With so many options, how do you know which is right for your wedding?

Use Your Favorite Color: You should always start with what you love. For example, if you’ve always loved Barbie pink then start there. You can incorporate different hues into the decorations to enhance the theme. Head over to theperfectpallet.com for help selecting complementary colors. 

Consider the Setting: However, when it comes to the setting, you might want to take the décor of the location into consideration before settling on a permanent color or theme. Venues with bold patterned carpet or wallpaper may clash with that pink you originally had your heart set on. If this is the case, you may need to choose a different theme or explore other venue or color options. Decide which you can’t live without and move from there. 

Consult the Season:  Now this doesn’t mean that if you are getting married in October that you should only stick to rich, dark colors or neutrals BUT you should take into consideration the foliage that is available during that time of year. You want to compliment the season, not clash.

The Bridal Party: Some brides envision their bridesmaids matching head to toe in one bold color, which is perfectly fine as long as it is flattering on everyone. Style variations of the same color might even look better than you first imagined and will keep some self-conscious bridesmaids happy – which is always a win-win. Also, don’t forget the groomsmen. Keep the theme flowing, even with the gentlemen! Tie colored accents into buttonholes and cummerbunds.
