Here you will find the most common pitfalls and how to avoid them.
1. Ignoring Your Venue Colors
When deciding on your color palette, take a look at your venue. For example, if you’ve chosen a reception space with yellow and green walls, a color scheme of burgundy and gold will surely clash, and there’s really no way around it.
The solution: You can choose a venue that lacks a lot of color. Or just use the space's decor to help guide your color palette choices.
2. Neglecting to Order Mock Florals
Color can be subjective — your imagination of bright orange roses might not be exactly what your florist shows up with on the Big Day. Or pink bouquet might turn out to be dark coral. If you're ok about it and it doesn't bother you - that's good. But for some brides such moments can ruin the wedding day.
The solution: Request that your florist put together a "test" bouquet and centerpiece. That way, you know that you're on the same page when it comes to color and there won't be any surprises on your big day!
3. Waiting Too Long to Make a Decision. Selecting your wedding colors is one of the most exciting parts of the planning process. But your "dreaming period" can be prolonged. It's not so easy to choose an ideal wedding palette.
The solution: Give yourself a deadline! Just realize that you need to start putting your dreams into action and without a color palette, not much can get accomplished.
4. Forgetting About the Importance of Contrast. Here's what happens: you decide to choose a dark green wedding, so you wish to get dark green rable settings, then dark green wedding bouquet. bridesmaid dress for all of your friends to wear. Then, without thinking, you turn around and order the same color bridesmaid dresses. You will not have any contrast and your wedding will look boring.
The solution: Choose at least a few varying shades of your favourite color. Keep contrast in mind when choosing your bouquet, invitations, table settings and more. Think about the big picture of your wedding.
