The Meaning Behind Wedding Colors<\/a><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n
A Kaleidoscope of Color<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
There’s no question: choosing wedding colors can be one of the trickiest tasks a bride has to cross off the list early on in the planning. Or if you let it, it can be one of the easiest decisions you make.<\/div>\n
I always tell the brides who write to me to simply go with colors you love. Because the truth is- you can make virtually any color palette look great, its just a matter of determining what feeling you are going for.<\/div>\n
When trying to determine the perfect color palette for your wedding day, have you ever wondered what the colors you’ve chosen mean? What energy do they give off? What themes do your colors work best with? What about the season?<\/div>\n
I’m going to try to answer that. You see, the meaning behind wedding colors really lies within the energy that certain colors give off. Some colors are bold and intense which make them better suited for elegant atmospheres whereas other colors are bright and cheery and more often than not make them better suited for creating a casual, fun-loving and happy atmosphere.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a> GOLD<\/span>
\n{Gold Palettes}:<\/a> Gold evokes elegance, luxury, warmth, & tradition. Gold is a color that is primarily used in weddings where the couple is trying to create an upscale atmosphere. Gold is rich, it’s intense and it definitley gives off that old world kind of vibe. Gold works fabulously in Winter & Fall weddings as a compliment to a richer hue.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>

RED<\/span><\/div>\n

{Red Palettes}:<\/a> Passionate, dramatic, and packed with personality, this romantic hue can really be used in different ways to create entirely different looks. Depending on how you pair it! Red looks gorgeous with aquas, grays or even greens. The perfect color for Summer and Winter weddings.<\/div>\n
WHITE<\/span><\/div>\n
{White Palettes}:
\n<\/a>When brides around the world think about having a classic wedding they picture this color. White is associated with purity, simplicity & modernity. Its clean, and it’s minimalistic. In some contexts, white can be considered traditional. However, suprisingly white can also be considered very modern if you use large amounts of it by itself.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a> PEACH<\/span><\/p>\n

{Peach Palettes}:<\/a> This soft and feminine hue is nothing but dreamy. Perfect for a bride who wants to create an atmosphere that is charming & pretty.
