Colorful Choices – The Color Scheme

The color scheme is one of the early decisions that you have to make when planning your wedding.  It comes up in so many aspects of the planning — attire, linens, flowers, and many other planning parts.

There are unlimited options, of course! You can pick one color (or color pair) or a color scheme (like Fall colors) or you can just pick out random colors.

Recently, some of the most popular color schemes include: pink & brown; pink & black; blue, turquoise, & chartreuse; aqua and red (or poppy, as Martha Stewart apparently calls it); mustard & blue.

Having trouble deciding? Here are 3 good sources:

First, The Wedding Bee tells us about the Pantone Mood Selector which matches your mood to colors and might give you some good ideas.  Pantone Mood Selector is located HERE.

Second, there is Multicolr – which gives you images of various wedding things based on the colors you select. Multicolr is located HERE.

Third, Snippet & Ink is a fabulous blog that discusses all kinds of color ideas! Snippet & Ink is located HERE.

Fourth, you can check out photos from weddings in all different colors and see what you like: real, colorful wedding photos!

How did you pick YOUR wedding colors? Let us know!
