Hot Winter Wedding Color Palettes

The trendiest colors sure to invigorate a winter wedding decorating scheme are depicted below on invitations.   As you can see, these colors are great alone or paired with complementary colors:

Tangerine Tango   -    this red-orange hue pairs well with neutrals such as khaki or chocolate brown.

Mustard Yellow   -   this smile-inducing shade is guaranteed to brighten your mood. Pairs nicely with navy, charcoal, black & white.

Cranberry   -   isn't just for the holiday season.   Pair with metallics, mocha or sienna.



Gold   -   as a base color instead of accent color.  Pair with navy, or grey for a clean aesthetic.

Celadon   -   for a calming effect.

Sodalite Blue (Navy)   -   is the perfect background color to playful colors like mustard yellow or pink.

Grape    -   pair with grays, frosty blues or metallics.

Camel  -   as the emerging neutral for 2012.   Adds stability to a vibrant color palette.

Soft pink   -   Use as a new neutral, alongside black, chocolate or camel, or emphasize its feminine qualities alongside fuchsia.

Tiffany Wedding Theme with Filigree & Crystals

The Tiffany wedding theme below was inspired by the stunning filigree and crystal bib necklace shown in the center.   Selecting a wedding theme often involves more than a choice of palette.   For instance, the filigree design in the necklace suggests more filigree and lace patterns in the decorating scheme as in the cake, favor card, ring pillow, guest book pen and candle.   The crystals ask for more of the same as shown in the bouquet pin and ring pillow.

A Grecian styled bridal gown with a simple neckline is ideal for highlighting the necklace.    The color choice of Tiffany blue could have easily been pewter or black.    Resources below.
