Re: Wedding Day Color Schemes
ivory and gold is always gorgeous and classic- you really can’t go wrong with those two. you can add in a lovely deep eggplant and/or turquoise to it to give it some more oomph if you want.
the bride should stand out from the banquet hall for sure. if she matches, it can be a bit much! for my bro’s valima, his bride was in champagne and a rich turquoise. you can see the end result for the decor here- http://www.facebook.com/SaraBaigDesigns#!/album.php?aid=18459&id=116635611700743&fbid=138140269550277&ref=mf
we basically kept it as light and neutral as possible but added in gold for richness and the peacock feathers tied into her jora’s turquoise. a little touch here and there matching to the bride’s dress is always nice, but i’ve seen entire halls decorated in the bride’s outfit colours and i feel like it takes away from her wow factor if those same colours are everywhere, you know?
if chocolate brown isn’t your thing, go with navy blue. or charcoal grey. grey would look beautiful with pale pink and/or hot pink flowers, for example, if her jora was pink. the charcoal or pewter makes it manly, the pink adds just a light touch of femininity. how dark the pink is depends on preference and the colour of the jora. if she’s wearing dark pink, i’d do pale pink flowers. if she’s wearing pale pink, i’d maybe add in some pale green to the pale pink flowers for depth. there is a beautiful variety of rose called the fashion rose. its outer edges are pale green and it fades into a pale pink towards the center. its absolutely stunning!

if you let us know what colour/s the bride is wearing, i’m sure we could do up design boards for you!
