What Kind of Wedding Do You Want to Have?

First, focus on the essence of the two of you and how you want to present yourself, and remember the day. There are several main wedding types, including:

Romantic

• Unique and Untraditional

Trendy

Dramatic

Destination / Beach

Seasonal (i.e. fall wedding colors)

Romantic Wedding Color Ideas

As you can see from the below samples romantic colors don't necessarily have to soft and light. It's perfectly natural to mix a passionate red with a gentle green, or add a rich brown to perfect cream or beige. Here are some great romantic color combos:

• A rich red with a soft green
• A gentle pink and green with a richer red of pink
• White and Cream combination
• Dusty Pink and greens

UN-traditional and Unique Wedding Color Ideas

Are you a fun couple looking for a more upbeat and perhaps less traditional color scheme? If so, your options are endless! Strong hues like yellow or green are wonderfully vibrant and perfect for energetic couples. Softer hues like turquoise, red and gray are equally unique, but perhaps less intense than the latter.

Yellow and green

Blue and orange

Blue and Red

Blue, Yellow and Brown

Pink and Orange

Green and Red

Orange and Purple

Latest Trends in Ideas for Wedding Colors

Are you looking for the latest trends? If so, there are some really great trends emerging. One of my favorites is a combination of silver and yellow! Imagine a silk silver wedding gown and your maids of honors clad in fun yellow dresses! Other great trends include:

Tiffany Blue

Pink and Brown -- with or without green

Pink and brown

Purple and green

Blue and Brown

 

Dramatic Wedding Colors

If you're a sassy and strong couple looking for a rich and exotic or dramatic wedding color scheme, black and red is one of the more obvious, beautiful choices.

If you are looking for dramatic, but are also fun, hot pink or hot pink combined with orange is your ticket to the perfect color combo! Here are a list of great dramatic color combos:

Red and black

Deep Purple with earthy green

Hot Pink and Red

White and Black

 

Destination Weddings

If you're planning a destination weddingyou might be like many people and can only think of a blue color theme! In reality, there are a slew of great colors to draw from! Inspired by nature, it makes sense to include the shades of the sand, leaves, sky and waves. As you'll see below that mixtures of blue and beige are great ideas. While a purely green combo is an exotic choice!

• Blue, cream and green
• Shades of green
• Blue and sandy brown
• Shades of blue

Common Wedding Color Ideas for Seasonal Themes

If you're planning a spring, winter, summer, or fall wedding sometimes it's most simple to stick to colors of the season. It's beautiful and you just can't go wrong. It simplifies the purchase of favors, invites, and more when doing it this way!

You can also draw color themes from above to inspire your seasonal theme.

Summer Colors

Summer is a time of relaxing in the sun, napping under the willow tree, and enjoying the wonderful blast of all of the summer colors surrounding us. This gives you the excitement of going for a completely calm combo or soft hues, or mixes gentle colors with great splashes of color.

Green and pink

Gentle blues, whites and hints of pink

Terra Cotta and Violet (for a Mediterranean Theme)

Shades of pink with Blue

A Variety of blues and purples

Shades and Tints of dusty pink

Why Color and Theme Choice Matters

I hope you have some new ideas. Now learn how to make your choices make good budget sense. In my wedding guide "Perfect Weddings Without the Debt" I talk a lot about themes and colors, and explain how the right overall choices (including colors) can save you thousands. I also talk about how you can save on everything else related to your wedding.

Wedding Math and Wedding Color Ideas

Considering that 140 guests is the average wedding size, did you know you can spend $400 on table cloths alone?

"Perfect Weddings Without the Debt" advises on how to bring this superfluous cost down with wise color choices, and focus it on those things you care more about (your dress...or pocketing the savings for your new, debt-free life).
