How to Choose the Perfect Color for Your Look
Now that you know the trending shades, how do you pick the right one? Here’s a quick guide:
Match the Wedding Aesthetic – Check with the couple on their color scheme. You don’t have to match exactly, but choosing a complementary shade creates a seamless and polished look.
Consider the Season – Light pastels and floral prints work beautifully for spring and summer, while jewel tones and metallics shine in fall and winter.
Think About the Venue – A beach wedding? Flowy fabrics in soft blues or greens look stunning. A black-tie affair? Rich tones or metallics bring the glam.
Coordinate (but Don’t Match!) – You don’t have to twin with the bridal party, but a cohesive color palette makes for gorgeous wedding photos.
