Summer Wedding Colors- What's in Style?

                If you're planning a wedding for this upcoming summer, you've probably already booked your venue, found your dress, and at least thought about your music options. What about your color scheme, however? Summer is also known as "wedding season" so how can you stand out from the crowd and make a statement? This article includes a few ideas about colors that might complement your summer wedding event.

 Green

 

                Green is a widely underused wedding color, but it really pops in photographs. It's also very friendly to a lot of skin tones, which makes it a good choice for bridesmaid dresses. Green works well with black as well as yellow if you're looking to pair colors (or add sashes to dresses, for example), so you can really make an impact with your wedding by threading some green into the color scheme.

 Yellow

                Most summer weddings are held outdoors, under the sunshine. Add even more light to your special day by weaving yellow into your patterns. If you're using white table settings, yellow can offset the white and add a punch of color. Yellow also stands out in centerpieces, especially when paired with other bold colors like purple.  As a complementary color, yellow fits in well to many wedding themes. Keep it simple and focus on adding it into details rather than big pieces (a yellow corsage, for example, makes a more subtle statement than a yellow bridesmaid gown).

 Blue

 

                Most beach wedding planners will at least consider blue. Like green, this color pops out in photographs and stands strong against blue skies and ocean waters. Even if your weddings not at the beach, however, blue can be a powerful choice. Bridesmaids will thank you if you choose a forgiving color of blue (such as teal or royal, which tend to look best on multiple skin tones). Blue also makes a stark contrast in your bouquet or hairpieces walking down the aisle (and meets your "something blue" requirement!).  Another great thing about blue is that it stands out against the majority of reception walls and ceilings whether you're in wood paneling or white walls. It can make a beautiful statement no matter where you hold your ceremony and reception.
