Consider the season of your wedding. Different colors are associated with different seasons, so choosing colors that complement the time of year will create a cohesive look. For example, pastels are popular for spring and summer weddings, while jewel tones are more common for autumn and winter weddings.



Think about your venue. The colors of your venue can also influence your color palette. For example, if you're getting married in a garden, you might want to choose soft, natural colors like greens and blues. If you're getting married in a ballroom, you might want to choose bolder colors like reds and golds. If your venue has lots of wood panelling, think about light airy colours to lift the rooms, or embrace the warmth of the wood with strong, rich colours.



Pay attention to your personal style. Your wedding colors should reflect your personality and style. If you're a classic person, you might want to choose timeless colors like black, white, and navy. If you're more adventurous, you might want to choose brighter, more unexpected colors. I always knew I would never wear a white wedding dress, it just isn't me. so mine was burgundy velvet with gold celtic knotwork embroidery which fitted perfectly with our November wedding.



Don't be afraid to mix and match. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to wedding color palettes. You can mix and match different colors to create a unique look that's all your own.


Get inspired. There are many resources available to help you get inspired for your wedding color palette. Look at magazines, websites, and Pinterest for ideas. You can also take a trip to a paint store or fabric store to see different color combinations in person.

Take your time. Don't rush into choosing your wedding color palette. Spend some time thinking about what you want and what will look best for your wedding. Once you've found a few palettes that you like, ask for feedback from friends, family, or your wedding planner.
