There are so many variables to take into account: how much to spend? How bright to go? For the whole bridal party or just the bride and groom? However tempted you may be to throw in the towel and just pick a mishmash of colours, having a palette is important: a unified colour scheme looks professional and well-considered, simplifies picking clothes and accessories, and leaves guests with a vivid memory of the day. At its simplest, a colour scheme should be:<\/p>\n<h2>Something You Can Both Agree on<\/h2>\n<p>Because there\u2019s nothing worse than a grumpy groom in a lime-green tie. Your husband-to-be might be the least fashion-conscious man in the western hemisphere, but it\u2019s important that you\u2019re both equally comfortable with your choice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8278\" title=\"Achieving the Perfect Colour Co-ordination for Your Wedding\" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-uk.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2014\/06\/4806_1a0aaf1d6f5623d3b.jpg\" alt=\"Achieving the Perfect Colour Co-ordination for Your Wedding\" width=\"313\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/4806_1a0aaf1d6f5623d3b.jpg 313w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/4806_1a0aaf1d6f5623d3b-194x300.jpg 194w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Something Contemporary<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s a reason powder-blue tuxes were popular in the 1970s and never again. Classic colours like rich purples and light spring yellows look timeless and sophisticated, so your wedding photos won\u2019t date.<\/p>\n<h2>Something That Will Look Good on Everyone<\/h2>\n<p>Do you have two redheaded bridesmaids and a passion for hot pink? They\u2019ll be wearing it too and they won\u2019t be happy about it. Tread carefully before making a very bold colour choice if there\u2019s a risk it might not suit everyone who will be wearing it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8279\" title=\"Achieving the Perfect Colour Co-ordination for Your Wedding\" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-uk.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2014\/06\/86_19b7b8ce0d794bd39.jpg\" alt=\"Achieving the Perfect Colour Co-ordination for Your Wedding\" width=\"322\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/86_19b7b8ce0d794bd39.jpg 322w, https:\/\/weddingdates.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/86_19b7b8ce0d794bd39-216x300.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 322px) 100vw, 322px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Something That Won\u2019t be Impossible to Work With<\/h2>\n<p>Choosing an attractive rich brown for your colour scheme might seem like a lovely choice initially, but is it likely you\u2019ll find flowers to match? If you\u2019re using it on your wedding invitations, will your guests be able to read all the information on them? Choose a light to mid hue for maximum versatility.<br \/>\nBesides the d\u00e9cor and the venue flowers, aspects of your wedding to colour co-ordinate include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\">Stationery and invitations<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Establishing the colour scheme at this point fixes it in the guests\u2019 minds from the very beginning. Have the graphics and font on your invitation in your chosen colour and make sure to choose matching stationery: <a title=\"all colour envelopes\" href=\"http:\/\/www.allcolourenvelopes.co.uk\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">All Colour Envelopes<\/a> have a phenomenal range for you to choose from.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\">Bouquets<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here\u2019s your chance to get creative with your flowers. You could choose a wildflower bunch of similarly-coloured blooms (this stunning bouquet from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commonfarmflowers.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Common Farm Flowers<\/a> provides some autumnal flower inspiration), or go for white with a few coloured flowers mixed in; the sky\u2019s the limit.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\">Bridesmaids\u2019 dresses<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What\u2019s a prettier sight than a group of matching bridesmaids? For this option you\u2019re best off picking one style of dress for everyone to wear rather than letting them pick their own: this allows for better colour matching and eliminates the possibility of clashing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\">Groomsmen\u2019s ties and handkerchiefs<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The same advice goes here as for the bridesmaids\u2019 dresses: pick them all at once and make sure the colour suits everyone who will be wearing it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Images via Every Last Detail, <a title=\"Glamour and Grace\" href=\"http:\/\/www.glamourandgraceblog.com\/2012\/tangerine-and-turquoise-rustic-shoot\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Glamour and Grace<\/a>, Santa Barbara Chic<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Choosing the perfect colour scheme for your wedding can seem like a daunting task.
