Top 5 Wedding Color Mistakes + Ways to Avoid them!

Want some tips on how not to pick your wedding colors?? I know it may sound weird but a lot of people make mistakes when choosing colors to use for their big day. The Perfect Palatte made this list of the Top 5 Wedding Color Mistakes and gives us some tips to avoid them. Did you or anyone you know make these mistakes when picking wedding colors??



#1: IGNORING YOUR VENUE COLORS!
When deciding on your color palette, I urge you to seriously consider the reception space! For instance, if you’ve chosen a reception area with burgundy and gold carpets, a color scheme of lime green and fuchsia will surely clash, and there’s really no way around it. That’s not to say you have to choose colors that perfectly match the surroundings.  - See more at: http://www.theperfectpalette.com/2013/09/top-5-wedding-color-mistakes-ways-to.html#sthash.lxWrS4m9.dpuf
#1: IGNORING YOUR VENUE COLORS

SOLUTION: Use the venue's decor as a guide when selecting your color palatte. Or choose a space that lacks a lot of color so you don't have to worry about a potential clash!


#2: NEGLECTING TO ORDER MOCK FLORAL'S

SOLUTION: Request that your florist put together some test bouquets so that way you'll know that you are on the same page with the florists concerning colors. Then hopefully there won't be any surprises the wedding day!


#3: WAITING TOO LONG TO MAKE A DECISION

SOLUTION:  Give yourself a deadline! Without a color palatte not much else gets accomplished, so think hard about it and make a decision!


#4: FORGETTING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF CONTRAST

SOLUTION: Think about contrast when you're selecting your attire, invitations and table linens. Think about the big picture and note that each of these layers should not be the exact. same. color. Add contrast by selecting varying shades.


#5: SELECTING AN UNFLATTERING BRIDESMAID COLOR

SOLUTION: When selecting bridesmaid dresses think about the varying skin tones and body shapes. Not everyone will be able to rock the same look. Take them to the bridal shop and narrow down colors and styles that compliment each girl.
