Picking out the colors for your wedding is one of the fun
things you get to plan. The task may sound daunting, but it’s really not. Just
follow these three rules and you’ll be headed in the right direction.
Your First Color: This will be your dominant color, the one
that will appear more than any other in every aspect of your wedding from
invitations to tablecloths. This color will be the one that carries the most
weight.
Your Second Color: This color is your subordinate color. It
must complement the dominant color. This color should also appear along with
your first color in most of your wedding aspects.
Your Third Color: This color serves as an accent. It should “go”
well with both your first and second color choices. It will make little appearances
in the details of your wedding such as flowers or accessories.
Because colors affect the ways people feel and evoke
different responses, it’s important that you select your dominant or base color
carefully. The types of responses you can expect are proven by research. Use
what’s been learned about colors to make your choices. Use colors to bring out
your personal taste and the kind of emotional reaction you’re looking for and,
most importantly, have fun!
