Spring is in the air!

Well spring is now here and wedding season is definitely underway! With all the fun colors floating around I wanted to share some of the top color combo's for 2009!

Of course you can always stay true to the 'classic' wedding and go with whites or cream colors and add a touch of platinum or bronze. If you're going for a more vintage look this is always a good color choice. It's also fun to pair just one solid color against a white or cream color. This can give your wedding the classic style and also spice it up a bit, making that one color POP a little more!

Pink is often a girls favorite color and it can be used in so many ways! From light pink to bright pink this will definitely add a little color to your wedding! You can concentrate on having an arrangement of different pink flowers and choose solid color accents for your decor to tie it all together. By using bright flowers and bouquets, you can use silver or pewter accents such as candle holders or napkins. Accenting your table linens with your bright bouquet will really make your colors pop! Use a lace detailed tablecloth or table runner and spice it up with lots of candle light to get that feminine, romantic feel. Or you could also do just the opposite, and have light solid neutral colors for your florals and add bright colorful accents in your decor. Either way pink is definitely a color that screams SPRING!

Now if you are really wanting to add some color to your wedding you can go a little bolder and bring out some real bright colors! Greens and oranges are really in this Spring and Summer and the ones that are really daring to be bold are bringing out the fuchsia and blue colors! With bright flowers and accents you can really spice up a reception and give it that all around fun feeling. If you are having your reception in a room or outdoors where you know you are going to need a lot of help decorating and spicing up the area a bit, bright flowers and arrangements are definitely what you need! You don't want to do a color overload, but pick your three or so fav colors and roll with it! If you choose bold, bright flowers then you may want to stick with solid not so bright table linens to tone down the room some and make your florals really stand out. You can add color through the tinest details. You could do colorful place cards or table numbers, use a color to tie a bow around the seat cover at each table, or use color napkins at each place setting. One important thing to remember when you are using these bold colors, is to not use too MUCH of them at once! You want to make sure they tie in together and that you use just enough to create that fun feeling, but not be too much to where it is a color overload in your reception area. Basically, color is a fun way to explore and it really helps to define your overall theme for your wedding- we love it!
