Colors like Turquoise, Amparo Blue, Violet, Aurora, Fusion Coral, Tomato Puree’, Pink Champagne, Tuscany, Dried Herb and Eucalyptus are on the scene. I say what happened to blues, yellows, reds?
Below is a color palette I created in Turquoise and Aurora. Photographs from The Knot.
When choosing your wedding colors, you're setting the tone for the entire event. There are as many choices as there are colors in the rainbow but it may be that you can automatically filter out some choices once you start to think about details.
Another direction to go when choosing your wedding colors is to consider the meanings behind individual colors.
Red represents beauty, strength, passion, celebration and luck.
Light blue in your wedding suggests health, happiness, patience and creativity.
Yellow symbolizes intellect, friendship and cooperation.
Green is the color of fertility, nature, peace and harmony.
Pink is the hue of love and friendship.
Orange stimulates, creates energy and is the color or knowledge.
Purple represents royalty, mystery, spirituality and growth.
White reflects peace, protection, purity and fairness.
Once you've selected a color or two, you'll want to decide what color pattern you'll use. For instance, for a monochromatic wedding you would use just one color, but many shades of that color. If you're using related colors, you'll use colors next to each other on the color wheel. If you really like one color in particular, you might want to accent that color by using it among neutrals.
There are online tools on the internet that can help simplify the process for you. Brides has a color studio that you can create your color palette. And Dessy lets you create a color palette and an inspiration board. This has to be one of the best tools out there.
For those who need feel and touch, your local Lowe’s or Home Depot, hit the paint swatch section. There you can find any color imaginable to help you make your decision.
Have fun!!
