When you get married, deciding your wedding colors is one of the first major decisions you’ll make. Instead of going with tired colors that have been used over and over again, take inspiration from fashion trends and use a different color palette to make your wedding look fresh and up-to-date. An unusual color or combination of colors will give your wedding a little more originality and spice.
Some of the hottest colors for weddings right now are:
Decadent Chocolate Brown – Brown sounds a little odd for a wedding color, but right now, brown is a very popular for weddings and for the fashion in general. Medium to deep toned chocolate is being used with several combinations of colors. Depending on which color you pair it with, brown can add either a rustic or a trendy touch to your wedding. Brown with orange, brown with sage green, brown with sky or turquoise blue and brown with pink are some options that will make your wedding stand out.
Sizzling Citrus Yellow – When you think of yellow, it may not immediately strike you as a fresh color. You may be thinking of yellow as a dated pastel, but that’s where you’re wrong. The hippest yellows are bright (think lemon meringue pie.) Yellow comes alive when it’s paired with white and black, gray, pale muted blues or neutrals like camel or khaki. There are several ways you can use this citrus themed shade. Bright yellow with white and black striped accents has a chic European feel.
Cool Cobalt Blue – Cobalt Blue was splashed all over the runway and red carpet this year. You can easily bring this electric color into your wedding by pairing it with another color that’s a bit understated. The motto here is to keep it simple. You don’t want to use any color that tries to compete with the blue. Cobalt looks fantastic when it’s paired with white or soft gray and silver also gives it a classy vibe. Stick with blue as the main event and you can’t go wrong.
Fruit Punchy Orange – Orange is quickly becoming a hot color for weddings and it’s no wonder. Orange naturally evokes feelings of lightness and energy. Many couples want an exciting wedding, so they want to use an exciting color. Orange definitely fits that bill. The best looking oranges to use are either yellow toned or red toned. Both types of orange fit well with pink as an accent color, muted pink for yellow toned orange and fuchsia pink for red toned orange. Mixed together, orange and pink give your wedding a fun update.
A new color combination will give your wedding the originality and style that you want it to have. It’s your big day, so why not make it fun and unique? By choosing any one of these hot new colors, your wedding palette will be transformed into something truly fresh and exciting.
