Ideas & Inspiration

Classic choices for winter wedding colors usually include combinations that reflect the holidays: red and green; red, pink and white; burgundy and gold, or silver, white and other shades of ivory. However, if you want to do something different, try coming up with a color combination that is more unique and less holiday-focused. Here are some tips on finding a unique color scheme to accent your winter wedding decorations.

• First of all, do not think of traditional winter wedding ideas and colors; instead, think of your favorite color in the world. Then, consult the standard decorating color wheel for corresponding colors.
  
  
• For example, if your favorite color is a bold color (such as midnight blue), use this color as the focal point and other, lighter colors as the accents. Your color combination could be midnight blue, a paler shade of blue, silver, and ivory.
  
  
• If your favorite color is yellow, you could choose a mustard-yellow and pair it with shades of peach and chocolate browns. To give this color combination a more wintery appeal, add earthy, foresty elements such as branches or pine cones to your centerpieces.
  
  
• Otherwise, you can also add extra flair with feathers or rich fabrics such as satin or velvet. Sometimes accents of plaid are the perfect way to pull together your winter wedding colors.
