Your Color Problems... Solved!


After consulting with a bride last week, I came to a realization that us women tend to think along the same lines. Well we think alike in so many ways, but I'm refering to our color wheel and particular taste in color schemes. My bride was telling me how she was having a few color issues and wanted some advice as to solving them. I figured- why not share it with all of you in case you run into the same issue!

Her biggest "issue" (I put quotes around it because I didn't really find it to be a big issue- more of etiquette per say) was whether or not to go with her personal taste in color or coordinate with the season. Her wedding is in the Spring but she loves Fall colors and didn't know which one took priority over the other. I told her that although richer, darker colors went better with cooler months, she didn't have to settle for anything less. By choosing a pastel color to offset a deeper Fall color, she'd get the best of both (her) worlds. She now can't decide between a deep plum and lilac or navy blue and seamist! Oh too many choices!

She also mentioned that telling her bridesmaids that they were going to wear purple or yellow (yellow was another color she was deciding on at the time) was going to be too big of a shock to them and that they'd want to back out of her wedding. To me, a rich plum bridesmaid dress sound gorgeous! Not to mention, yellow dresses would definitely make you feel right at home for a Spring wedding. The reason those color of dresses will certainly pass any bridesmaid's "back- out- or- not- back- out" test is because there are so many shades! Let me emphasize the simple fact that "yellow" can mean anywhere from goldenrod to pale yellow to lemon chiffon. Ask them how they'd feel about sorbet-inspired pastels to liven up the Spring feel. It would contrast quite nicely with the darker Fall shades even more :)
