Your wedding is a celebration of the love between you and your spouse-to-be. It is likely that your love story is uniquely yours, so your wedding should reflect that. What better way to do that than with some color! While you do not have to add color to each and every aspect of your wedding, just a few splashes of color can make a huge difference. Here are a few ideas:

Wedding Color Scheme Tips

1. Before the big day - Wedding Invitations

This is where you can get very creative.  When sending out your invitations, add some color with the paper or the font. You can even get envelopes that correlate with your wedding colors to make things pop. Use the colors you intend to use for your wedding to make things consistent.

2. Your Wedding Dress, Bridal Party or Accessories

(a.) Wedding Dress

Though many brides still opt for the traditional white dress, many brides are choosing colored wedding dresses that showcase their unique styles. If you do not want your whole dress to be in color, you can choose one that has a few splashes of color. See Daalarna 2019 Wedding Collection for more ideas

If you are still wanting to wear a traditional white dress, you can have your bridal party and flower girl wear colorful dresses. There are so many options, and you can always tie the flower girl dress in with the bridesmaid dresses.

(d.) Accessories - Garter or Shoes

This could be where you add your "something blue". As the bride, you are likely to be wearing a headpiece of some sort. Whether you opt for a tiara, a floral headpiece, or a veil, you can incorporate your "something blue" into whatever you choose to wear. If you choose to wear pieces of jewelry, such as bracelets or necklaces, try and pick something that compliments your entire wedding vibe. If you opt for a garter, you can add your "something blue" or add your wedding colors.

4. Your Ceremony + Reception 

Depending on your venue, you can make your entrance colorful. Entertain your guests at the same time while adding a splash of color here. Add live statues with a long aisle runner that features one of your wedding colors. Also, if space allows, you can use arches of flowers along the walkway for a unique look and a splash of color.

5. Your Wedding Cake

Your wedding cake provides ample opportunity to add color. You can also opt for a candy bar if you don't want to add color your to your cake. Your cake can be a neutral color and have candy that represents various colors (ie. your wedding color(s)) to make it more colorful.

6. After the wedding

Once your big day has come and gone, you will want to send thank you cards to those who gave you gifts or helped you prepare for the celebration. To tie things up, use thank you cards to mimic the wedding invitation envelope to complete your wedding vibe.
