Weddings, Bridal Planner, Wedding Planning, Wedding Shows, and Bridal Magazines

I find that in going back to basic High School Art Class lessons is greatly helpful in choosing colors. Did you ever make up a color wheel? If so, you know that complimentary colors are opposite each other, analogous (or harmonious colors) are next to each other, and monochromatic colors are actually one color with various amounts of tint or shade. Go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_wheel#Analogous_color_scheme for more details. To give you a better idea of how this concept is applied, for a winter wedding, here are some examples: complimentary scheme: pomegranate red, chartreuse & gold gilt (add a little chocolate brown for depth) analogous scheme: lavender (purple), pale blue (blue) & white w/ silver accents monochromatic scheme: royal purple, violet, periwinkle Your colors can also be an expression of you, the season or a favorite hobby. An autumn wedding just bekons for tints of orange. You may grow sunflowers, so choose various shades of yellow. Sports fans may quietly incorporate team colors. There are so many places to gain inspiration. A Planner can help you decide how much to use of your chosen colors, and where to utilize them.

Here is an example of monochomatic pinks.
