• Start with Base Colors – The base colors, or main colors, of your wedding help determine many other big wedding decisions from lighting to jewelry and more. Most weddings have two or three base colors. To narrow them down, try looking at other weddings online for inspiration or just make a list of some of your favorite hues. 

• What Colors do You Like? – Your wedding is all about you and your future spouse’s personalities. So, think about what colors you like! Make sure both of you like the colors you end up choosing as no one wants there to be colors they don’t like at their wedding. 

• Think About the Season – The season in which you hold your wedding plays a big role in your wedding colors. Use the season as inspiration. For example, winter is all about clean whites, icy blues, and glittering metallics while summer calls for bright colors like yellow, pink, and bright green. What about fall and spring? Fall weddings look best with warm colors like burgundy and deep green, while spring weddings are all about pastels like baby pink, soft blue, and lots of cream. 

• Look at Your Venue – Some venues are better suited to some color palates than others. Take a look at your event center to see if it necessitates certain colors as you don’t want your colors to clash with the space. For example, if your venue has big windows that look out over green trees, maybe bring some greenery into the room as well. 

• Add Other Colors with Accessories – You’re not stuck with your two or three base colors. You can always add in pops of other colors with accessories. For example, your wedding might not be all about pink, but you can have pink flowers in your centerpieces or pink plates on the dessert table. Accessorize colors in pieces like bow ties, silverware wraps, lighting, napkins, or even your wedding shoes. 

• Check for Holidays – If you’re stuck, you can also use holidays as inspiration. Halloween lovers might want to add some orange or black touches, while Christmas fans can add red, green and white. Just don’t go too over the top with holiday colors as you want your wedding to be timeless.
