Choosing a colour scheme for a wedding can be quite tricky. Whilst some couples will have always wanted a certain colour or colours, others are literally starting with a blank canvas and lots of coloured paint pots from which to choose!
Choosing a colour scheme for a Wedding is not an exact science – sure it is easy to say that lilac is a good option if you are getting married in the Summer and Burgundy is an ideal option for a Winter wedding, but on the whole a colour scheme if implemented well can be suitable for any wedding, with any theme at any time of year.
So where should you start? Well first of all we would suggest that you choose anywhere between three and five colours. Of these, one should be a white/ivory or similar, one should be metallic (gold/silver), one should be your main colour (free choice) and then if you like choose up to two supporting colours that complement your main free choice. If you are struggling to visualise what colours work well together, why not pop along to any large DIY store and get hold of some paint colour charts – this will first of all help you to identify favourite colours and shades, and secondly allow you to see what colours are suitable matches.
When deciding upon your colour scheme, think about the theme for the wedding that you have chosen and the time of year you are getting married to help with the decision. Involve your partner, ask friends and family, choose your favourite colours or even book a personal consultation for the bride, groom and even the bridesmaids to see which colours best suite your skin tones.
If you have not already, we suggest that you read the theme suggestions that we have put together which may give you some ideas as to what colours will work well with your chosen theme. Additionally, the eight colour pages will show you potential shades and suggest how and where to best use them.
Whatever you do when choosing a colour scheme, keep focussed on the fact that there is not a right and a wrong answer - it’s not what colours you choose, it’s how you well implement them in the day’s proceedings that is most important.
