The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Your Wedding Color Pallet

Where do you even start when deciding on a color palette for your big day? This may seem like a small decision, but it is overwhelming how much of an impact your wedding colors have. It can affect the décor, flowers, dress code, and much more. Here are a few ways to find what colors speak to you:

Choose your style first

To make this process easier, first choose what style you want for your special day. Once you choose a style, it will be much easier to find color palette inspiration. For example, Bohemian style weddings typically use warm browns and vibrant colors. Rustic weddings tend to have greens and more earthy tones. Once you have your style decided, Pinterest and wedding blogs will have loads examples that you can look at just by searching your style.

Utilize your favorite colors

If you are starting from scratch, meaning you have not picked out florals or bridesmaid dresses, think about your favorite colors. Incorporate a darker or more vibrant version of your favorite color and then use a few softer versions of the color to create a cohesive color palette.

Consider the season

If you truly want bright summer colors in the fall, go for it. But you can never go wrong keeping it traditional and utilizing warm reds and maroon in the winter, and brighter yellows, pinks, and blues in the spring/summertime.

Keep it Classic

If you don’t love the vibrant colors and want something more timeless, you should go for a more muted color palette. Black, white, beige, and lighter shades of pink can make a gorgeous and elegant color palette.

Consider a pop of color

Many brides like to have neutral tones for most of their décor, but add in a few pops of color with flowers or smaller detailing. This is a great way to incorporate color without it being too overdone or tacky.
