When you are choosing your wedding colors you will most likely be faced with an extensive palette to peruse. Think of the confusion that ensues when your neighborhood paint store gives you a book of home paint colors. Now magnify the pressure by ten for your wedding colors, because you are not the only person who will have to endure your choice. Here are three unique wedding color combinations that may help narrow down your selections.
Burgundy, Chocolate Brown, and Light Blue
The first two colors in this color combination are deep, rich, and reflective. They are similar and create the same feel. The light blue freshens up the look and should mostly be used as an accent.
When choosing your wedding colors, take a few swatches and press them up against different areas of your venue such as the floors and the tables—even consider how the color combinations will look on your cake. You want to integrate each hue in an optimal way. No one color should overly dominate the scene. For example, you don't want everything to be chocolate brown with just a light blue punch bowl on the table. Maybe a burgundy hardwood floor with chocolate brown table coverings brushing against the floor and a shorter, sheer light blue fabric on top of that.
Use your imagination, and when choosing your wedding colors, don't be shy about buying actual fabrics and other decorative items in the colors you've chosen to get a better idea of how they will fit into your design.
Basic Black and White
Choosing your wedding colors doesn't have to be complicated. You can save a lot of time looking through swatches by simply choosing two basic colors for your wedding such as black and white.
Another basic combination to consider when choosing wedding colors is silver and white. But in this case you really have to accent the silver throughout your wedding ceremony venue and reception hall to make the color combination work. The silver can be a little hard to distinguish from the white in certain lighting.
Silver and Gold
A silver and gold decorative presentation for your wedding is distinctive because it combines two colors that would usually be paired with other colors.
Think of ancient Roman times, when money was in the form of silver and gold coins. Maybe you could offer guests specially press silver and gold coins as party favors. (Get ready to pay a pretty penny due to the increased price of gold however.) Think about belly dancers with silver and gold decorated outfits. Now think of how these two striking colors can come together to make your wedding a sight to see.
After going through the first steps of choosing your wedding colors, narrow your color choices down to no more than three. Get another opinion (or two or three) about which combinations look the best and personify you and the groom. It is your wedding, and you want the wedding colors chosen to reflect who you are as a couple.
