Wedding Color Ideas
It's perfectly fine to use your favorite colors for your wedding, but you'll also want to select colors that complement both the wedding ceremony and reception locations. You won't want your bridesmaid dresses and decorations to clash with any carpeting or curtains. Wedding color choices are often influenced by the season in which you're getting married: spring and summer brides tend to choose lighter color schemes than brides who say "I do" in the fall and winter. One other thing to keep in mind is the mood you want to create at your wedding. Dark colors often symbolize elegance and formality while bright colors can imply that the event is fun and casual.
However, the most important thing remember as you browse through our wedding color ideas is that this is your wedding and nothing is set in stone. If you have your heart set on pastel bridesmaids' dresses but you're getting married in the fall, make the choice that's right for you and not the choice that's dictated by a set of unspoken rules.
Here are some other wedding color suggestions that may come in handy as you pick the perfect colors for your big day:
