Choosing Your Wedding Colors.
What Color Says About Your Wedding Personality.

Color and the choices we make regarding the use of it, reflect our personalities. Likewise, the color or colors you choose for your wedding will also reflect your style and personality. To choose your wedding colors, you may go with a favorite color, or you might pick colors which harmonize with your seasonal palette. Spring and fall weddings fall into the Warm color category. Summer and winter weddings fall into Cool color palette.

Color meanings for your wedding


White

Brides have been wearing white since the Victorian times, with white now being the traditional color for wedding dresses. To the human eye, the color white is brilliant and bright. It’s no wonder that wearing it on your wedding will make you stand out. White symbolizes purity, cleanliness, and innocence.


Ivory

Many brides opt to have an ivory gown for their wedding. Ivory, like white, represents quiet, pleasantness with a touch of luster. Ivory is a soft, neutral color which has a touch of earthiness of brown hues. It carries the same pureness, softness, and cleanliness of white but is slightly richer, a touch warmer. This is a great color choice for brides having a spring or fall wedding, as the traditional seasonal colors compliment ivory.


Gold

Gold is a precious metal and the color gold is associated with wealth and prosperity. Gold is eye catching and lends richness and warmth to your color palette. Add a golden glow to an earthy palette of browns, orange or greens. Reds, burgundy and purple are warmed with hints of gold. A wonderful accent color to fall weddings, and a traditional hue.

Silver, especially bright silver, is cool like grey, but is lively and playful. It is sleek and modern while still adding the feeling of riches. Adding silver to your wedding will add glamour and will make your day sparkle. This is a versatile color which pairs nicely with almost any color.
