Wedding Colours - Coral

Coral and variations like peach and apricot were big colours in 2013 and will continue to be massive in 2014.  It can be combined with other colours like grey, mint, gold or white or you can go all out and have it as your main colour.  It also lends itself well to beach weddings which are becoming more and more popular with couples (including myself and my other half!) who are opting for a more relaxed and informal wedding.

 

 
Coral can work well whether you have dark hair or fair hair, have a light skin tone or a dark skin tone, it's a very versatile colour.
 
 
Perhaps one reason why it lends itself so well to weddings, is that according to colour psychologists coral is just one of the colours we associate with romance.  The shades of coral which have more pink in them are more associated with love and the shades with more orange in them suggest fun and playfulness. 
 
 
To me, coral and the colours that pair well with it suggest relaxing and peaceful and when I look at the different coral shades I feel a warmth coming from them.
 




 
If you are looking for gift tags, table confetti, or placecards to see your coral theme through, then head on over to the etsy shop to have a look at the range or coral coloured products in stock

Are you having coral in your wedding? Are you combining it with other colours or just having the one main colour - let me know!
