Wedding Color Scheme Help by A&A Photography

Thursday, September 04, 2008 Posted in Colorado Wedding Photographer

Picking colors for your wedding can be both exciting and scary at the same time. The colors you pick will help to set the tone for the wedding. You can use color in so many places including, bridesmaids dresses, flowers, centerpeieces, cake and favors. Andy and I will share a few things that might help your decision process.

1. What season or month will your wedding be in. If you picked a particular season imbrace the colors that are most associated with it. Spring and Summer colors tend to be lighter and more vibrant than winter colors.

2. A lot of research has been done on how colors make people feel. I don’t subscribe to much to this theory and think that you should pick colors that you really are drawn to and speak to you. Different cultures and regions of the world view them differently which also makes it hard. If you choose colors you like others will like them too.

3. What mood do you want to set? Vibrant Colors can add excitement and drama. A more muted soft palette can bring a more romantic feeling.

4. What colors already exist at the venue. Are you going to compliment them or do you have a palette than can take whatever color scheme you pick for your wedding.

5. 2008 Color Trends Platinum will be more popular than brown and will be the most used accent color. Colors that will work well with Platinum will be pale pink, bright aqua, and yello.

Color Suggestions for Seasons

Winter/Fall: Wine, Purple, Navy, Emerald Green, Turguoise

Summer/Spring: Aqua, Platinum, Soft Pink, Pale Yellow, Coral

Tools to help you pick a Color Scheme

Color Wheel

“Complementary” colors means choosing colors that are opposite each other on the wheel, such as red and green.

“Analogous” means the colors lie next to each other on the wheel, such as red, red-orange, and orange.

“Monochromatic” means variations of the same tone, such as bright red, dark red, etc.

Any of these methods will result in a great color scheme. Reading more about Color Theory will help in this process.

My favorite way to help pick a color scheme is a Color Picker Application.

Best advice andy and I have is to have fun with this and add your personal flare.
