One of the most exciting parts of the wedding is choosing the colour scheme. The colour often represents the personality of the bride and groom, as well as sets the theme and tone of the wedding. Some colours indicate that the wedding has a more serious tone, while others indicate the wedding is a fun and very light-hearted event.
Often times, the time of year and season will play a large part in the colour choice of the wedding. For instance, if the wedding takes place near Christmas, many brides will choose to go with a shade of red. When a bride chooses to have her wedding in the fall, she is likely to choose cool colours such as purples and dark blues. If the wedding is to take place during the spring months, many brides will choose very light pastels to coordinate with spring.
Although brides are becoming much more adventurous when choosing the colour scheme for their wedding, the current trends in wedding colours are lilacs, pale pinks, ivory, baby blue and gold. Brides are choosing colours that are both delicate and feminine.
One of the first big decisions as far as colour goes, is picking a colour for the bridesmaid dresses. Often times, this will set the stage for the rest of the wedding colours. After picking out the dress, the bridesmaids will then have their shoes dyed to match the colour of the dresses.
The bride will also want to coordinate the flowers of the wedding with the bridesmaid dresses. It is not vital that the flowers are the same colours of the dresses, but rather that they coordinate and compliment the bridesmaids' dresses.
Most brides will choose a white wedding cake, with accent colours that coordinate with the other colours of the wedding. Icing flowers as well as real and artificial flowers can be added to the cake in order to incorporate the colours of the wedding. Other small accents can be sued to coordinate with the colour scheme.
Some brides will choose to colour coordinate their invitations with the rest of the wedding. Invitations come in a variety of styles and colours and can be found just about anywhere. The invitations are generally the first glance will get into the colour scheme of the wedding. The invitation will give guests a sneak peak of the overall tone of the wedding. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider the style and colour of the invitations.
