Colors you choose for your wedding day set the style and tone for your event. You can use color in decorations, the cake, favors, the flowers, lights, table linens, sashes, runners, bridesmaids’ dresses, and the invitations. Choose colors you love and also consider the following:
Where is the wedding/reception? Choose colors that complement the venue. Consider the carpeting, drape and the decor of the space.
What kind of mood would you like to create? Vibrant colors can add drama; soft colors can give a more romantic feeling.
What time of year are you getting married? Seasons can influence your wedding colors. Spring and summer colors tend to be lighter shades, while fall and winter colors are darker shades.

Tip: Limit your main colors to two or three and try to stay consistent with your colors throughout the entire event. Use a few subdued colors to add an elegant look.
