Color Trends for Weddings in 2008
Anyone who reads my blog or articles knows that I love color. Color brings out the couple’s style and personality and color is so much fun to work with.
I have really enjoyed working with chocolate brown over the past couple of years, but chocolate brown is going to have to step aside for slate this year. The rich, gray-color is going to take over as the hot accent this year. Flowers of all colors will really pop against this color. Like black, it is flattering to the figure, but it isn’t as severe.
For those of you who like color — fear not, orange and yellow are still very hot. Yellow is so bright and lively. Using it is like bringing sunshine into the room.
Monochromatic combinations are very popular this year. Pick two or three shades of your favorite color and use them in combinations around your room. Perhaps use deep orange linens combined with a pale napkin and chair tie and then yellow flowers.
White flowers are also going to be a popular choice this year. What could be more stunning then a room full of white flowers and candlelight?
These are just a few ideas of what is hot for 2008, but you don’t have to stick with the trends, choose colors that you love. Your wedding should be a reflection of your taste and style. Have fun with color and texture and create a look that is all your own. We use the Just Marry! Color Wheel with our clients. It helps to choose colors that compliment and highlight.
Happy designing!
