What are your wedding colors?

The exciting color combinations a Bride can choose are endless and set the tone and backdrop for your entire event.

To gather ideas and begin creating your wedding colors, a great idea is to visit fabric and paint stores. View different shades of color combinations that catch your eye. If there is one particular color that you are absolutely in love with, using paint swatches and color wheels will help you decide what other colors will complement your favorite choice.

Choose colors that you love, not just what the trend is. Think about what colors you most likely wear in your clothing or decorate in your home?

Metro Luxe Events Candice Vallone can help to develop a palette that makes your wedding day vision come to life.

Prepared with a color wheel and fabric swatches, the season of the year your wedding falls in, knowledge of your venue's lighting and any lighting you will use, the color scheme at the venue and ceremony site along with the personal style you want to create, Metro Luxe Events will implement your color selections and design your wedding with a personal touch and unique ambiance.

One very important decision, make sure that your color palette doesn’t compete with the venue’s design. For example, if your venue has deep rich colors and heavy brocade fabrics such as dark greens, golds and burgundy, using bright pastel pinks and purples won’t work; the colors will not blend or convey the overall look you are trying to achieve.

Next, what type of atmosphere would you like to create?

• Formal & Regal
• Romantic & Soft
• Modern & Chic
• Urban & Fun
• Rustic & Al Fresco

Lastly, what type of color scheme are you going for?

• Monochromatic: Different shades of one color. Examples are different shades of Ivory and White, Pale pink and Blush, Purple and Fuchsia. The monochromatic look can give a formal or romantic vibe.

• Analogous: Colors next to each other on the color wheel. Examples are Blues and Greens, Reds and Purples, Reds and Oranges, Yellows and Greens. Analogous color schemes produce a rich and vibrant atmosphere.

• Complementary: Colors located across from each other on the color wheel. Examples are Turquoise and Coral, Lavender and Pastel Yellow, Blush and Dusty Green, Brown and Teal,  Black and White. Complementary colors create maximum contrast and set a bold look.

Metro Luxe Events Candice Vallone believes in using similar and harmonizing color schemes throughout your wedding day’s events. Have a harmonizing color scheme for the ceremony, another for the cocktail hour and finally another for the reception.  Using this approach is a great way to create separate environments; your guests will be in awe of what’s coming next!
