OK so we have chosen our colour scheme and it will be various shades of blue with a mix of other pastel colours too. Why? because Alice in Wonderland's dress is blue and most of the Wedding things don't match in a very vintage way, so having the option of many colours helps with our theme.
But did you know?
The colours you
choose for your big day reflect your personality and style. You can
create a sophisticated environment or a whimsical escape. Colours can
influence moods and exude sensuality, cosiness, earthiness and
youthfulness. With tasteful variations from vibrant to pastel and
shimmery to matte, your wedding day colours speak volumes about you and
what you hold dear. Whether you choose your favourite colours for your
wedding or select hues to complement the current season, we have
compiled a list of some wedding colour choices and what they say about
you.
Black:
A conservative choice, black complements almost any colour, especially
lighter hues. Dignified and mysterious, black denotes sexiness and
sophistication with a modern twist. Black is classic, never trendy,
alluding to a modern bride. As an opulent choice, black is timelessly
elegant.
White:
Symbolic of purity and innocence, white has strong connotations of
youth and perfection. White aficionados seek excellence and
enlightenment, as simplicity and recognition are constant ventures.
White is a glorious hue (or lack thereof) that denotes a clean palette
or fresh start for those who seek serenity and peace.
Red:
A passionate, romantic choice, red is impulsive and outgoing. Depicted
as zealous and ambitious, red symbolizes love and rage. Whether it
denotes joy, celebration, happiness or prosperity, red elicits a
dramatic response from both sides of the emotional spectrum. Red lovers
tend to be restless and optimistic and go along with people with
uncomplicated natures. A powerful selection, red is sure to represent a
fiery hostess with 'look at me' flair.
Pink:
A softer, girlish choice, pink is the sweeter side of red. A delicate
hue, pink represents a sensitive heart that is affectionate and
nurturing. The bride surrounded with pink has a maternal grace and
compassion and a desire for protection or shelter. The rosy hue fan may
also have a strong personality, but one that is willing to share.
Orange:
Spontaneous and daring, brides who choose orange are bold. Because
orange is a happy and trendy hue, orange enthusiasts tend to be popular,
have excessive energy and are part of a large social circle. From a
bright and happy backdrop to an exotic, spicy richness, brides who
prefer orange tend to be fearless and curious, with a zest for life.
Yellow:
The colour of a sunny day, yellow denotes happiness and hope. Exuding
warmth and vitality and usually possessing a great sense of humor,
people who love yellow have cheerful spirits and optimistic values. You
tend to look forward to the future and are intellectual, creative and
idealistic. Yellow represents enlightenment and spirituality, lending
itself as a great color on your day of matrimony.
Green:
Green shades symbolize life, freshness, nature and fertility. A common
choice for eco-friendly brides, green shows that you value your health
and the environment. A harmonized and balanced colour, green is a mixture
of warm yellow and cool blue, just like its admirers. A calming and
tranquil hue, brides who select green are affectionate, frank and
responsible. You seek stability and balance, yet remain fiercely
principled and refined
Blue:
Soothing, compassionate and cool, blue is the colour of tranquillity and
royalty. Blue belles are deliberate, introspective, conservative and
patient, tending to be sensitive and wise. Serene and cool, blue denotes
cautious partners who are faithful but require a calm and harmonious
existence. From watery aqua to a deep shade of midnight, blue can be
soft and sweet or strong and bold.
(That'd be me!)
Purple:
Often associated with both royalty and luxury, purple is a passionate
color. Choosing purple symbolizes dignity, tolerance and value. Violet
lovers tend to be unconventional and observant, with a multifaceted
personality. Tolerant and witty, purple devotees are likely to achieve
authoritative positions. From light lavender and lilac buffs, who tend
to be charming, witty and cultured, to deep eggplant lovers, who are
creative and talented, purple can be provocative or sweet.
Brown:
A natural, neutral colour of the earth, brown represents wholesomeness
and dependability. Symbolising comfort and contentment, brown represents
honesty. Just right for your wedding day, brown is substantial, steady
and responsible. From rich chocolate and dark coffee to cream and soft
beige, this earthy shade can be intense or pale, dramatic or modest.
FYI
The aforementioned colour synopses are not strict rules or character
definitions, but rather are designed as an indicator of what is
important to you. Whether you select a spicy orange to match the falling
autumn leaves or a peony pink simply because it is your favourite colour,
choose what looks and feels good to you. Your natural selection is
indicative of your true self and innate style.
