Very few persons will argue that color codes on wedding days are one of the interesting elements in any wedding occasion. When chosen carefully and intelligently, color code can lighten up the ceremony and get people excited. However, if the wrong choice is made, it can practically set the tone for a boring, dull, and better-forgotten wedding occasion.

Certainly, you would not want your wedding occasion to fall in the same category as the latter mentioned above.

TIPS IN CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLOR COMBO FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY

While there are no set laws as to what and what should be the chosen color combo for a wedding ceremony, the following tips can help in choosing the right ones that go well:

• Consider Your Favorite Color: Perhaps you are low on the idea of where to start in choosing your wedding color code, what better way to start than from your wardrobe. Just consider what color is your best. This can have a major say on the other colors you choose to go with. Colors that complement that color you’ve chosen will go well.

• Take Note Of The Season: Of course, the season has a major say on the choice of color. As a principle that has been proven, darker hues of color works best for the cold winter season while for the warm or hot season (summer), softer shades of color look nicer. You will also want to be very careful with colors associated with holidays.

• Have Your Reception Setting in Mind: One of the very first things you should decide from the word; GO for your wedding ceremony is the reception venue. The color of the venue and its design can also inform your choice of color. Consider the color of the walls, the carpets or rugs there, and other details. Very important is also the decorations that will be done, the color of the cake and the toppings, flowers, ribbons, balloons and table linens. You want your wedding to have the same color tune all the way; therefore, this is very important.

• Consider The Bride’s Maids And Groom’s Men Attire: Consistency is very key in the chosen color theme for the big day. Therefore, remember to attune the color of the day with your bride’s maids and groom’s men's attire. The groom and his men’s tie, pocket filler, waist belt e.t.c must go with the theme for the day. Same with the maids' shoes, dresses, jewelry, the bride’s flower, make-up, shoe, and other chosen accessories.

• Consider The Mood You Want To Create And The Environment: Colors are closely related to moods. For example, soft colors have been matched with romance. Also, you must consider the environment you are in. A color combo you find nice might be offensive to most of your guests, or might be associated with other things. For example, while black might be a flattering color, it is associated in many places with funerals and you will want to consider it before making it a major color in the color theme.

• Do Your Research: The web is already stocked with wedding planning websites and blogs that you can visit for ideas. You can make good use of this. You can also talk with a wedding planner as you make the decision. You can equally speak to color lovers and get ideas. Committee of friends also comes in here. They can give you nice suggestions to pick from.

• Keep It Few And Simple: As a general rule; the simpler the better. Avoid the temptation of choosing too many colors. As a principle, 2-4 colors maximum are generally suggested. Also, for simplicity, ensure to have at least one neutral color e.g. white in the combo. Remember, if you are printing an invitation card, then the colors must also be included from the off.
