Ideal Wedding Colors for Spring


Spring weddings are full of flowers like roses, tulips, daisies and peonies. Are you fond of one in particular? A great way to get inspiration for your spring wedding colors is from your favorite flowers or other spring scenery. Find a photograph of some spring scene that you really enjoy - the key is to pay close attention to detail of it. Take note of colors that aren't obvious in a photo or setting and use them as accents for the bolder shades that stand out.

Take, for example, a sunflower. The main color that pops up in your mind is yellow, right? Well you can pair it with a soft color like ivory to make it pop, and accent it with a dark brown to pull the look together. Don't go overboard with the brown, though! Use it as an accent colors in things like shoe colors for you and your bridesmaids or the ribbons used to tie the bouquets. Also great as an accent color for your table scapes, centerpieces and favors.

Still stumped? Here are some different spring wedding color ideas to help get you started. Pair either of these with a bright white or a soft ivory for the perfect look on your special day.

Browse the area for flowers that are going to be flowering at the time of your wedding. Look for things with bright, pretty colors that stand out and make sure they smell nice, as well! You can even pull your colors into the food, drinks and favors you give out for your wedding as well.
