One of the fun parts to planning a wedding is choosing the wedding colors. However, this can be a daunting task. You want to be true to yourself and your passions, but you also don’t want that “oh my goodness, what were they thinking” reaction from your guests. (Or, maybe you do!) :)
Below are some tools to get you on the right track to wedding color bliss.
The Color Scheme Designer is a great tool to get you started. Make sure to pay attention to the top left of the screen where you can adjust the different types of color combos you would like such as “mono”, “contrast”, “triad”, etc.
Martha Stewart has some more information about the color wheel here.
Brides features a Color Studio with a “spinner” tool that you literally click to spin and it shows different fun color combos.
Another fun way to choose your colors would be to explore the paint swatch section at a home store.(Fendi Bauguettes from Ragstyles)

A couple of tips to keep in mind:
-
Your wedding color scheme should bring out your best features. Since your wedding décor will serve as the backdrop for many of your wedding photos, it is essential that you select a scheme that won’t clash with your complexion.
-
Choose a strong color that can stand up to the competition of the other elements of your color scheme. A color selection with a darker value makes for the ideal primary color selection.
-
Think lighter or darker when selecting accent colors. Small touches of brown, black or cream in your color scheme will draw more attention to your chosen color scheme.
-
Paste your paint-chip palette to a piece of paper and stash it away in your wedding planner. You can use it to help you in selecting linens, stationery and other decorations for your event. (tips from ehow.com)
