Perfect Palette

Choosing the Picture Perfect Palette

Aubergine. Blush. Aqua. Charcoal. Apricot. Navy. So many colors so little time. Determining the colors of your

wedding palette play into much more than one would assume. As we’ve discussed before, a theme carries throughout a wedding day, and your color palette should as well. So, what things should you consider when choosing a perfect palette for your wedding day? We have a few ideas!

Time of Year

It’s important to consider the season when choosing wedding colors. For example, would you pick hot pink and lush

green in the dead of winter? Or how about a burnt orange and mocha during spring? That isn’t to say you can’t do these things but it is helpful to have a perfect palette to blend things together.  This doesn’t mean you’re stuck with prissy pinks or greens just because it’s spring, but you can consider Mother Nature as a helper that can somewhat dictate the perfect palette.

 

Perfect Combo

It’s nice to consider colors that you both find equally pleasing. Keep in mind your palette can be many more than just

two or three. Choosing shades that lift your mood and you are drawn to make the most sense. Trust your gut!

Consider the setting

Look at the colors your venue has. Do you absolutely love the gold embellishments on the door handles or chandeliers? Using metallic colors like gold, champagne,etc will bring these adornments out. If your venue has

white and black carpeting, fixtures, etc keeping with that theme and adding pops of color such as red, purple, pink, or any other inspirational shade!

Create an Inspiration Board

A color wheel or picking out images that you find inspirational can be your first step to helping guide you through

picking the perfect palette. There are many tools out there that can help including:

– Color Scheme Designer

Finding the right balance and complimentary colors is what to keep in mind. If color matching isn’t your thing, then you can always consult a wedding coordinator or stylist. Friends are always a helpful sounding board as well! They can help you choose your perfect palette for your wedding day!
