Colors play an important role in a wedding. It sets the tone and personality of an event. Bright colors such as orange and yellow give you a more fun and vibrant ambiance. Neutral colors such as beige, sage, or gray give you a more earthy and natural feel. Pastel colors such as blush, peach, or mint give you a soft and light mood. Dark colors such as navy and maroon give you a dramatic atmosphere.
It is ideal to keep your colors limited to two to three colors only. Choose a primary color then combine it with colors that are either (1) complementary, or (2) monochromatic.
Complementary colors are colors that are opposite the color wheel, like red and green, yellow and purple, blue and orange. This creates maximum contrast and makes the colors stand out.
