Neutrals for Winter
Wedding Colours
Neutrals work well for formal winter weddings, too.
You can use black and white or black and champagne for
everything from the wedding party's attire to the
reception hall. Black and white or black and champagne
work beautifully for night time weddings because of the
opulence they emit when paired together. Another option?

Sample Colour Schemes
Want some more specific colour
schemes to use in your quest for the
perfect winter wedding colours?
Consult the colour wheel. In your
wedding colour scheme, you can use
complementary colours, split
complementary colours, related colours,
or even monochromatic colours for a
theme you'll love. Here are a few
suggestions to get you started:
-
Royal purple and rich green
with gold or silver accents
-
Blue, teal, and blue violet
with white accents
-
Navy blue, sky blue, ice
blue, and silver
-
Apple red and emerald green
with silver or white accents
You can use anything from the
palest, most delicate baby blue to
the richest chocolate brown you can
find. The best thing to keep in mind
when choosing your winter wedding
colours is to stay on the cool side
of the colour spectrum.
Try and make sure cool tones
flatter your bridesmaids as much as
possible. You can still use the same
colour palette you'd hoped for, but
you might want to tweak it a bit,
adding depth to a dress colour or
switching up where you use each
colour. For example, if you want to
use silver, but not many of your
bridesmaids can pull off the colour
well, consider using it in the
reception hall while opting for a
different colour for the bridal
party.
One word of caution: check with
the venue to find out what kinds of
decorations will be present at the
time of your wedding. Since it will
be the holiday season, there's a
good chance there will be something
there. While white lights can add a
hint of magic to your ceremony and
reception, poinsettias may clash
with the red colour you hope to use
in your wedding. Know what you're
working with before you jump too far
into the planning. |
