The good news is that you don’t have to stick to just one, find the palette that works for you and go for it. Here are 5 tips that can help steer you in the right direction.

1. Choose the main color

This is the color you want to be showcased throughout your wedding decor, the main color if you will. It can be on your wedding cake, stationery, linens, wedding party attire, the ideas are endless. Once you decide on your base color, then you can select complementing color palettes to accent for the rest of your wedding decor. These colors tend to be more neutral so that it can be used as accents throughout, such as the florals, plate settings, favors, and candles. The undertone for your wedding color needs to be bold, something that really helps stand out. You can display this on the accent florals on your wedding cake, centerpieces, maybe even the ribbon on your bouquet. Don’t overload with options, stick to 3-4 colors/tones at most. Consider this: Main color, neutral color(s) and statement color.

2. Consider your season

Need help choosing a palette? Feel inspired by your season. Select accent colors that enhance the season you’ll be getting married in. Lean towards warmer and bright tones during the summer, blush tones during the spring and use more bold statement and deep colors like orange, fuchsia, and copper tones during the fall. This is also something to discuss with your florist. You may have your eye on some flowers which can be nearly impossible to get or can cost more than you’d expect.

3. Be inspired by your venue

Does it have a lot of greenery, or are there a lot of white walls? All of this will contribute to the decision making. You want your wedding decor to stand out and make a statement. So, if you have contrasting patterns, or decor from the venue in place, choose your colors according to that. *Bonus tip: When choosing colors for your wedding party consider things like this: Does your venue have a lot of greenery, then having your wedding party wear green might not be the best fit.
