Are you planning a spring wedding and searching for the ideal color palette? You’ve come to the right blog!
There are many details to consider when planning your wedding, and the spring wedding color palette is definitely one that requires considerable thought. There are so many different shades that work perfectly together and we have found some very unique ways to incorporate them into your wedding decor! Let’s jump in and get to finding your favorite color theme.
What Is The Theme?
Spring is the perfect season for a wedding with the new blooms popping, the days getting longer, the warmer weather. These color combinations can be used for any theme and style, although understand that some may be better suited for the formality of the event. For instance, are you planning to have a formal Saturday night event or a sweet and casual Sunday afternoon brunch? While all colors will work for the season, they may not be appropriate for the theme.
A formal, modern event lends perfectly to bold shades and bright colors like purple, turquoise, raspberry and coral, whereas an outdoor wedding works for the softer shades and pastel colors like soft pinks and powder blues.
Your Dress
Then consider your dress. Do you have a white gown or ivory? Is there any color in it such as a blush or mocha layer, a hint of blue, or perhaps colored florals? A white or ivory wedding dress will work with anything, however, if your dress has color you want to make sure to build around that.
Choose A Main Color
You can choose a bright color for your base color, such as tangerine, denim blue, ivy green, or hot pink, then a few complementary colors to weave in throughout your decor and attire. Don’t forget about metalics – warm golds and coppers can be an amazing addition to your decor.
