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.

Ideas for cute and creative Save-the-Date fliers are dominating social bookmarks like Imgfave and Pinterest. You can look for hours and still find fresh, unique ideas for sending out notifications to your guests. Ensure that you visit these websites if you’re engaged and excited! Once you pick out your favorite style, you can quickly personalize it to your needs with just a few photographs..

These cutesy little reminders are the first written announcement of your wedding, and they deliver the first impression of your big night - so nailing them is crucial. Make sure the aesthetics and function work in synergy to set the appropriate mood and style for your reception.

Aesthetics

Color, designs, and font should remain consistent through your notifications, invitations, and décor. Ensure that the color and style of your notices match the season and colors of your wedding. If you send out pink fliers, guests will assume that pink is one of your wedding colors. Similarly, if your wedding dress has intricate lace designs, a lacey themed notice would be a cute addition- so consider every fragment of your event.

Function

Your Save-The-Date fliers exist to let your guests know which days you’ll need them available. Most people keep these as keepsakes, instead of actually using them. If your save the date notifications make it easy to mark the calendar right away, the recipient may mark their calendar immediately. A great idea is to give them a photograph of the newly engaged-couple, along with a sticker for their calendar. This gives your guest a keepsake and a quick way to save the date!
