Pick Your Palette: Choosing Your Palette Tips
Photographer(s): Elisabeth Millay and Robin Roemer, Daria Bishop Photographers
Can't decide on colors? These simple suggestions will get you started.
- Answering a few basic questions can help you pick a direction. Do you have a favorite color? Or a favorite flower? Will you be married in the spring, summer, fall or winter?
- To fine-tune your selection, try to come up with two or three words that describe the overall feel of the decor you want to achieve - "sophisticated," "dazzling," "earthy," "elegant," "whimsical," "vintage," "bold," "simple," "chic". When considering possible color combinations, ask yourself if they fit the description you've come up with.
- Decide on any special objects or collections you want to include in your wedding decor. For example, do you have your heart set on using your great grandmother's collection of antique glass bottles as vases for your table setting?
-Make sure to spend some time with your partner, identifying any definite no's or yes's. He may have imagined his wedding day a certain way, too.
