Colour series part 1 – Picking the perfect wedding colour palette

colour palette

This week I’ll  be doing a series of special blogs on colour to help you choose the perfect colour scheme for your wedding day.  If you have any questions throughout the series please leave a comment and I will try and answer them.

The colours for a wedding are one of the first decisions a couple will make that affects the whole look and feel of their wedding day.  So it understandably is an important decision and shouldn’t be rushed into.  Take time to think about the how you want your wedding to feel and the mood you want to create.  Below is a short guide to the moods different colours can create.

Red is the warmest and most energetic colour it can help make a winter wedding feel warm, inviting and romantic.

Orange stimulates and warms, it also evokes excitement matched with darker earthy tones.

Yellow represents sunshine, happiness and joy it is perfect for a spring wedding to bring the sun inside

Green has a calming and relaxing influence, it gives a very simple yet sophisticated look mixed with whites.

Blue is peaceful and tranquil, pale blues mixed with silver and whites give an icy cool feeling.

Purple, the colour of royalty, luxurious and opulent.  It can look very rich and dramatic mixed with deep reds in autumnal weddings.

Pink is a tranquil and romantic colour, often used in shades from pale blush pink to deep cerise in summer weddings for a country garden feel.

The next blog in this series will look at what flowers are in available at the different times of year and which colours are best suited to the seasons.
