Weddings are defined more by color now, than the while dress the bride wears. I was not necessarily a bride that knew right away what color scheme I wanted. I wavered back and forth for a while between wanting traditional fall colors - bright yellow, dark orange, hunter greens, splashes of red and purple for the pop of color. Like this wedding below:
My Favorite colors are purple and blue (odd combo I know). But I am also a girl who loves her pink. So I realized I was cheating my self by basing the wedding colors off of just traditional fall aspects. I also wanted to incorporate the beach into the colors to help everything flow. I began looking for inspiration:
Very close, but no purple...
It seems the best I can do for my color inspiration is show you just how ahead of the fashion and trends I can really be. I picked our color scheme (back in September of 2010) because it was what I liked best, it related to the beach, and it made me truly happy inside thinking of all the wonderful things that come in the colors. I love the world of fashion and Pantone (a leading color company) puts out a report of the top color trends from the runways at fashion week. The colors they are reporting are "hot and new" for 2011:
I know that honeysuckle is the color of the year, but from phlox on over - I'm in loooooove. Perfect for the feel and look of our wedding. Natural, but bold, elegant but still fun. So excited!
Did you have any trouble deciding on your color scheme? Was it easy to find inspiration?
