Secret Language Of Wedding Colors
January 15, 2009
There is a rich history of symbolism and meaning attached to colours, and this is no exception for weddings, where each color can help to set the mood of your big day, and can help you to emphasis the style of your wedding.
Diamond-White – this glittering brilliant white has become the favourite colour of modern white weddings, and is typically used in elaborate ‘fairytale’ and ‘princess’ dresses. This bright white is perfect for youthful and first time brides, and those that want to make a big impact on their big day.
Ivory White – this more traditional color is elegant and understated, and the traditional color for a white wedding. Perfect for more mature brides, or those who are having a second wedding.
Champagne – this is another traditional, refined color, and has a rich, soft and more conservative look, which is perfect of vintage themed weddings and more mature brides.
Lavender – this has become popular again in recent years, and is a very soft, ladylike color that is traditional and understated, and will suit both youthful and more mature brides who want to add a subtle, gentile dash of color to their wedding day.
Pale Pink – the lightest of pinks speaks of youthfulness and fun, and is ideal for young brides. Even though this color is very soft it can be overwhelming, so combine with a more neutral colour such as white and use sparingly throughout the wedding décor just to highlight the themes of youth and playfulness.
Hot Pink – this striking energetic color is daring and bold, but it also a very pretty, feminine color and can be very becoming when used for the right wedding dress. Combine with other striking accents such as vibrant greens and blues and a grounding dark colour such as black or brown to make a really strong, but controlled statement.
Red – this is the color of both passion and romance, and can be combined with whites and blacks for simply gorgeous decorations and flower arrangements. Red roses are the symbol of everlasting love, so are the perfect flower for a wedding bouquet, and as red tones can be overwhelming and even clash with each other unless arranged very carefully, it is easiest to use red sparingly to create simple, dramatic moments in your wedding.
