Complimentary Approach

A bride or wedding planner will make use of this to draw that contrast between the chosen colors. In this approach, the colors have no similarities to each other. Black and white is a good example of such. Also, consider the likes of purple and yellow, green and red or even blue and orange

But there is also a trick to choosing the color that doesn’t set a quizzical mood among your guests. The guild lines below will ensure that you choose the best color to go with your wedding and still maintain what you want for your wedding as well as maintaining what the environment detects after you get that color wheel on the table.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Theme Color

Wedding location.

Having your wedding in a garden, indoors and at the beach called for different shades of colors. This is because of the compliments you are likely to get from the environment. Therefore, your choice of theme color should keep in mind the location of the weddings.

For instance, bright colors like orange, yellow and pink are suitable for outdoor weddings while aqua, turquoise, and teal will do well with beach weddings as they complement the colors of the sea beautifully. For indoor weddings, bright colors combined with black, silver, or gray are appropriate.

The colors for the season

What you wear during the bright seasons is not the same thing you wear during the cold seasons. Although most of us tend to favor warm weather for a ceremony, because of all the dancing and the feasting, sometimes we want a change of the regular scene. Therefore, if you fall in this category, know what you want, and that will only be possible if you understand how color schemes work best in regard to the season.

A wedding that takes place during hot, sunny weather can have either bright, flowery colors or their toned-down versions. If you expect to have your wedding ceremony during the rainy or cold seasons, choose colors that will brighten up the grayed-up atmosphere.

Go With What You Love.

To some of us, we have been planning our weddings since the day we knew what a wedding is. And most of the time, we incorporate our favorite shades of colors. That is actually the best idea, going for a theme color that is so familiar to you will save you a lot of doubts and will allow confidence to rain. We all love familiar tastes ad sounds, and going with your favorite as your color scheme may just win you the day.

If you and your partner have a favorite color or a favorite flower, use either as a basis for your wedding color scheme. Also, you can choose a similar color if the exact color you want is not wedding-friendly. Remember that the guests should see your personality in your color scheme.

Pick an Easy To Find Color

How have you ever encountered those situations where you can’t actually tell the difference between colors? Or those occasions whereas a bride you find your bridesmaid adorned in various shades of a color that you wanted them to find but it was impossible. So they go for the alternative of the color that is easy to find.

To ensure the consistency of your color scheme all around the venue, pick an easily available color. You do not want to find that your bridesmaids are wearing different shades of your favorite color. Also, picking a standard based color with a hint of unique color shade in it lessens the effort in finding the chosen color

Put Your Ideas to a Research Test

Don’t just into a color scheme because it looked good in the wedding show you watched online. Or maybe because the color is your favorite shade. Have your ideas yes, but put them to a research test. This is where you research more on the wedding color schemes and how they naturally and effortlessly combine. There is plenty of online information on color combinations. View the different color combinations, and check out the trending colors for the season when you intend to wed.

Maybe through that, you will get something that is outstanding and at the same time not far away from the scheme.

Don’t Choose More Than Four Colors.

Hello, this is literally a warning I bold red and italicized. We don’t want a wedding looking like a disturbing event. Two colors are fine, but you can pick other complementary shades that don’t exceed the, limit. While too little color appears boring, too much color disturbs the eye. Choose your base color and its complement, and then use additional colors sparingly.
