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.

Wedding colours - Brights / Multi-coloured

Over the coming months I am going to look at different wedding colours and themes to give you some ideas for your upcoming wedding.

First up, I thought I would start with something fun and cheery for what is quite frankly a dull and miserable day outside so we are looking a bright coloured or multi coloured weddings which was a trend in 2013 and will continue in to 2014.

If you are feeling brave you could go full out and have bright colour everywhere, from table decorations to cakes, to wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses, and even have *shock horror* clashing colours:

If you aren't that brave you might consider using white as your main colour and add splashes of colour here and there in the shape of your nails, gift tags, flowers, shoes or paper lanterns...and maybe you can convince your groom to where a pair of outrageously bright socks or a multi-coloured tie:
