Are you the type of bride who always wants to be on the cutting edge of fashion? If that sounds like you, then you will want to be sure that your wedding is as fashion forward as you are. These are some of the hippest and freshest looks for wedding color schemes right now.
The key to creating a really great color scheme for your wedding is to choose an interesting pairing of colors. The right colors, when used in combination, can really make everything pop. Instead of traditional gold, white, or silver, think about using bright colors in fresh new ways.
Hints of lime or chartreuse green are one of the top color trends for weddings. Pair the bright green with another strong color, such as aqua blue or a bold red. It may sound a bit garish at first, but when done well, the end result will be very stylish and unique.
Another big trend in wedding colors right now is shades of brown used in combination. If brown sounds a bit drab and unfestive to you, picture rich mocha used with dark espresso, and a soft cream. It sounds delicious, doesn't it? And it can look just as tasty, especially for an autumn or evening affair.
If something on the brighter side is more your style, then consider the color combination of pink and red. This is another one that might make you pause at first - weren't we always told that pink and red should never go together? That old rule is out the window, as brides are discovering how great those two tones can look together.
Once you have decided on a color palette for your wedding, the next step is to figure out how to put it all together. If you are working with one of these strong new color combinations, don't be shy. The overall effect will be best if you really go for it. In other words, if you have chosen pink and red for your colors, don't do a pink centerpiece on half of the tables and a red one on the other half. The idea is to layer the colors right on top of each other, so mix pink and red flowers within the same display.
There are so many creative places to employ your color scheme. To really make it work, you will want to carry it throughout the wedding in large doses. This will give your décor a unified look, and really make the bold colors pop.
Definitely plan on using your chosen colors in the centerpieces. That is one of the easiest places to make an immediate impact. You can use flowers in both colors in your arrangements, or you could choose to pick flowers primarily in one of the colors with a vase or vessel in the other color. When using such strong colors, keep the lines of the vases clean and simple.
You should definitely plan on using your chosen colors in the bridesmaid dresses. For instance, you could do an aqua organza dress with a chartreuse sash for a fresh summer wedding look. Mixing shades of brown would be rich and elegant for an evening wedding at any time of the year. To keep the theme going, give your attendants bridesmaid gifts in your wedding colors. There are lots of ways to do this. You could give them tote bags in lime with a red monogram. Or order custom bridesmaid jewelry as their gifts; combine red and pink Swarovksi crystals for a fabulous effect.
Whichever color you choose, be sure to own it. Using one of these hot new color pairings will give your wedding a fresh and hip style. Expressive use of color is a wonderful way to make your wedding unforgettable.
