Congratulations! You’re getting married and are busy planning your big day. There are so many details to consider. How do you know where to get started? You might consider beginning by selecting your wedding colors and theme. The colors you choose set the tone for the entire event. You can use color in your bridesmaids’ dresses, decorations, cake, favors, flowers, accessories, table linens and even the invitations. Try to limit your main colors to two or three so there is consistency throughout the wedding. 
Select colors you love, but also consider the following:
- Wedding and reception location: Choose colors that complement the setting. Consider the room decor including carpeting and draperies.
- Mood: Vibrant colors add drama, while soft colors evoke a more romantic atmosphere. Use a few subdued colors for an elegant look.
- Season: The season may influence your color scheme. Spring and summer colors tend to be lighter, while fall and winter colors are usually darker.
Chevon or Zig Zag is popular these days in home decor and weddings.
- Complementary colors are colors that are opposite each other on the wheel, such as blue and orange.
- Analogous colors lie next to each other on the wheel, such as blue, blue-green and green.
- Monochromatic colors are variations of the same tone, such as bright red and dark red.
