Wedding Color Scheme
Ideas and Themes

Selecting a wedding color scheme to base your marriage ceremony and reception around is a very simple and elegant way to plan a wedding. You are not tied to a particular object, but can use many different items that reflect the colors that you have chosen.

Wedding color schemes can range from vibrant and deep shades, to light and airy, soft pastel tones. Usually, the deeper shades are reserved for fall and winter weddings, while the lighter shades are used in spring and summer weddings. However, this is not a hard and fast rule.

For example, winter wedding colors look crisp and dazzling with their bright white and ice blue shades, while summer wedding colors integrate mid-tone to deep greens, woodland browns, and bright yellows.

The key is to use colors that not only appeal to you, but work with the ambience of the theme that you are trying to create.

Inspiring wedding color ideas & combinations:

But you don't need to limit yourself to different color combinations. Sometimes just varying the shades and hues of one colour can produce a dramatic effect, such as white on white (using different tones of white). Another example would be very light grey, medium grey and very dark grey or black.

If you need additional inspiration, head down to your local home hardware store and scoop up a selection of sample paint card chips. They also have booklets showing combinations that work well together for various rooms, which should give you some wonderful ideas wedding colors and themes.
