Never underestimate the importance of selecting the correct colours for your wedding day. In order to achieve a desired effect it is necessary to select ‘base colours’, and to build up the tonal palette from there. Don’t forget, everything should be coordinated; from the dresses to the flowers, the cake… the list goes on.
You may well already have an idea what your dream wedding colours will be like; they may hold a special meaning to you, or perhaps it will be based around your favourite colour. But aside from that, there are other aspects to consider.
