Portrait of a Pink Wedding
Dreaming about your wedding is one thing, planning it is another. From wedding dresses to cakes, to tuxedo, to flowers... Every aspect of your wedding must be carefully planned to "fall in place" on the big day! So, what are you going to do to ensure you will have a color-perfect wedding ?

If you've been to several weddings, you probably realize the importance of wedding colors. Everything about the wedding is planned according the colors the bride chooses. So, here's a quick guide to help you plan your wedding colors so that you can achieve your dream of a beautiful color-perfect wedding.

1- Choose the Right Color for Your Wedding Dress
Many brides use their favorite colors for their wedding dresses - pink, red, fuchsia, burgundy, plum, mauve, purple, or blue. But before you choose colors, try to find some photos of various weddings from the past. Look at a variety of color patterns and combinations before making your choice. You might find colors that you like much better than your usual favorites.
Next on the road to fulfilling your color-perfect wedding dream, consider how the color of your wedding dress will look with other colorful items once it is all put together for the big wedding day. The bridesmaid dresses will be matched with flowers, tuxedos, mother of the bride dress, flower girl dresses, accessories, and even the reception decor.

2- Color-Perfect Wedding Dresses with a Touch of Color
A growing trend is to add a touch of color to the bride's wedding gown. This is perfect for the bride who wants more than the traditional wedding gown. Some brides have color sprinkled throughout their wedding gown with embroidery. The beautiful embroidery patterns come to life on the wedding dress when color highlights are added. These are usually available in a variety of colors painted on an ivory white wedding gown. If this part has been beautifully handled, then you're right on track to your color-perfect wedding.

3- Test Wedding Color Combinations
Don't be afraid to match unusual colors before making your choice. Some color combinations might surprise you. For example, not many would choose bright peach, bright yellow and white, but these are actually beautiful when coordinated together in wedding flower arrangements with yellow dresses! Try out a variety of combinations to find the right wedding colors for you. After all, your color-perfect wedding will only be perfect if you're absolutely happy with your choices.

4- Choose Colors that Complement You
It's your special day. Choose colors that complement your hair and skin tone. You'll want colors that make you look wonderful on your wedding day. If you normally look great in red, then you'll probably look fantastic amidst red decor and red bridesmaid dresses. Maybe you can even add some red embroidery colors to your wedding gown. Whatever color suits you will work fine for the wedding. Remember you are the star of your color-perfect wedding!

Other Considerations for a Color-Perfect Wedding

Other things to consider before choosing your wedding colors include the colors of the church or building where the wedding will be held as well as the reception hall, the types of flowers available for that time of year (if using real ones), and the availability of wedding dresses in those colors.

Once you choose colors for your wedding dresses and flowers, you're ready to start planning the wedding. To save time, you can find a wide variety of wedding dresses, mother of the bride dresses, and bridesmaid dresses online. Be sure to choose the colors you love. After all, it is your wonderful color-perfect wedding, it is your very special day!
