How to choose your wedding's color scheme...


A very exciting part of planning your wedding is choosing your color scheme. There are so many beautiful color combinations, so how do you know which one is right for you? The colors you choose will set the tone for your entire event; so much consideration needs to be given in making this decision. Popular wedding color choices are always changing, but later in this article I will touch on most popular color choices for 2010.

Obviously, when trying to decide on a color scheme for your wedding you should first consider colors that you love. Your wedding should be a reflection of your tastes and your distinct style so choosing colors that you love will automatically start you off in the right direction. However, there are other tips and strategies for making the most of your wedding color scheme.

First, I strongly recommend taking into consideration the venue you have chosen for your ceremony and reception. Consider the scenery that is already present. Look at the carpeting, décor, walls, etc. for ideas about what will coordinate well with the colors you love.

Second, think about the mood and the atmosphere that you want to create. If your style is bold then I suggest colors that are also bold and vibrant. If you are a timeless romantic, softer colors set the mood for romance. Traditional wedding colors also work well to create romance.

Third, you may also want to consider the season in which you plan to marry. Spring and summer weddings tend to have lighter colors while fall and winter weddings tend to lean more toward the darker shades.
Each year brings new trends, and there are new and exciting colors and combinations for 2010. The hot color choices for this year are all bright....Forget about pastels. And black is the new black; forget about chocolate brown! Good luck choosing:)
