Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Color Scheme

You’re planning a wedding! CONGRATS! Now you have to pick your wedding color scheme… where do you even start? The task may seem daunting at first – but don’t worry! We’ll be sharing four tips with you that will help you pick a perfect color scheme for your big day.

Pay attention to the season:

This is a good place to start. Different seasons call for different color schemes! If you’re getting married in the winter, statement colors will stand out against the snowy backdrop of your bridals. Pretty pastels will be sure to capture the new growth of spring and the blossoming of new life. Summer calls for beachy pallets or bright colors! Bright yellow pairs perfectly with the summer sun. Take advantage of the autumn leaves with deep reds and rusty oranges. Take inspiration from the season!

Pick out some paint swatches:

If you’re wondering what colors might look good together, it’s a good idea to go to your local paint store and pick up some paint swatches! That way, you can find the perfect pallet for your dream color scheme. Don’t be afraid to try out different shades of colors, too. Once you compile your perfect color scheme, you can grab extra paint swatches to give out to your family members, friends, bridesmaids, and groomsmen so everyone matches your scheme perfectly.

Pick out eye-catching florals and go from there:

There are so many options when it comes to bouquets! It’s a good idea to look up different bouquets and find a few that you absolutely love. Once you narrow down your favorite florals, you can choose a color scheme based off of those! Your bouquet should capture the beauty and essence of your personalized color scheme.

Pick what YOU like:

At the end of the day, your big day is about celebrating you and your fiancé. It is important to pick out colors that you both like! You’re going to hear a lot of different opinions about what you should or shouldn’t do or what is trendy or not. Choose a color scheme that you love! If you want to use the brightest colors to make a statement, do it! If neutrals are more your thing, that’s okay too. Choose what you love.

We hope that you enjoy planning your wedding and that you fall in love with a color scheme that perfectly fits your personality!
