So many colors so little time! When choosing shades for your wedding, you have a whole palette at your disposal. So which color scheme is going to show the world that this is your summer wedding?
The best colors for summer weddings reflect the bold and beautiful flowers and foliage that bloom during the summer months. Keep pastels for spring, unless you have your heart set on sky blue or carnation pink. Yellows, purples, bright pinks and deep blues are best for summer. Pick a favorite flower and design your color scheme around the hue of its blossoms. Or let the colors you choose express your personality; each color has its special meaning. Red represents beauty, strength, passion and good fortune. Yellow is associated with intellect, friendship and compassion. The perfect summer color, orange, is connected with knowledge. Green represents fertility and purple creates an aura of royalty.
Once you have selected a base color, create a combination which will be the recurring color theme that coordinates every aspect of the wedding. Think of the color scheme as your special signature which will mark everything from the invitations to the tablecloths at the reception. For example, sunny yellow and gold combines well with orange and white to create a cheerful summer atmosphere. Gold and lavender are elegant summer options with magenta to spice up the combination. Instead of making the bridesmaids¡¯ dresses absolutely identical, design them to be variations of your color scheme. One bridesmaid can wear a lavender dress with a gold and magenta belt and trim. Another bridesmaid can wear a magenta dress with gold gloves and lavender buttons. The menus and programs can be printed on lavender paper with magenta print and decorated with gold ribbons. Another great color scheme for a summer wedding is Teal, silver and white, which creates a cool yet dramatic effect. Mix and match the colors in every wedding detail.
Summer weddings suit every mood, from whimsical theme ceremonies to trendy or traditional weddings. Beach weddings are a fun opportunity to use bolder, tropical color combinations such as passion fruit pink, papaya or banana yellow. Or, if you prefer a vintage 80s wedding, the best color scheme is black, white and gold with red rose trimmings to reflect the elegant opulence of the decade. Metallics like platinum, silver and copper are popular all year round.
A good traditional color scheme for summer wedding is centered around navy blue. For an evening wedding, navy should be the dominant color with other colors such as gold and white complementing it. For instance, a bridesmaid¡¯s dress can be navy with gold and white trim. The tablecloths at the reception can also be navy, and the table can be set with gold candles, and a centerpiece of white flowers with ivy garlands sprayed gold. If the wedding is taking place during the day, let white and gold set the tone and use navy as a complement. The aisle can be decorated with golden-eyed daisies adorned with white and navy ribbons. The reception tables can be covered with white table cloths and navy and gold napkins. White candles can be surrounded with navy and gold ribbons.
Most importantly, the color scheme you choose should express your personality and taste. Colors that were once considered no-no¡¯s for summer wedding, such as forest green, can be made summery by softening the effect with pink or yellow. Alternatively, use bold green with floral shades as part of a lovely pattern for bridesmaids¡¯ dresses, perfect for a country or garden wedding.
