Beautiful Colour Pallettes for a Summer Wedding

 

1. Do I Need a Colour Scheme for My Wedding?

Strictly speaking you don’t need to define your wedding colours. 

But, having a set scheme makes it much easier to create a beautiful look for your big day

Your chosen color scheme helps you create a wedding theme, which gives your celebration a specific feel, such as fun, formal, or chic. For example, pastel color combos might feel romantic and soft, whereas jewel tones feel bold and dramatic

The colors you choose should complement the venue where your wedding will take place. For example, if you are getting married in a church with white walls and dark wood accents, you might want to avoid using stark white in your wedding décor. Instead, you could use a light ivory or cream color. This will help to tie the room together and create a more cohesive look. Similarly, if you are getting married in a ballroom with marble floors and grand chandeliers, you might want to steer clear of busy patterns and stick to classic, timeless colors. Once you have considered the venue, take some time to look at wedding color inspiration online or in magazines. This will help you get an idea of what colors are trending and what shades will work well together. With so many options to choose from, it’s important to narrow down your choices early on in the planning process. Otherwise, you could end up feeling overwhelmed and stressed out as your wedding date approaches. So take your time, do your research, and pick wedding colors that you love!
