COLOR HUES
"What is color? Color is the byproduct of the spectrum of light, as it is reflected or absorbed, as received by the human eye and processed by the human brain."
Having the right wedding colors can help give a visual unity, and create your wedding to seem more elegant, and even more expensive than it really is. Choosing your wedding colors may seem a bit daunting, especially if you are not particularly visually oriented or your partner is color-blind and absolutely no help. We at Alpha & Omega can surely help in creating the right color combinations for that big day. We have our clients base their wedding colors on a favorite shade or favorite flower choice. Maybe a style of clothing they might wear, or even what their home design may look like . You’ll want to choose one primary and one or two accents. Try not to choose more than two to three, it can cause such an over powered design or confuse the overall look. We are here to provide you with the best there is to offer in color style to make your day such a success.
CHOOSING YOUR WEDDING COLORS:
•Consider going monochromatic; many shades of one color. A bride I worked with used blue for her ceremony by the sea. Each bridesmaid had a different shade of blue for her dress, and the bouquets include irises, lilies, and delphinium, along with several white varieties of flowers.
•Consider having related tones; ones adjacent to each other on the color wheel. A bride I’m assisting now has green bridesmaid dresses with blue sashes. You might also consider green and yellow, or red, purple and blue.
•Consider having complementary shades- located opposite each other on the color wheel. For example, lavender and pale yellow, or forest green and burgundy.
•If you really love one hue in particular, you might want to highlight it among neutrals. So, bridesmaid dresses might be cream with purple sashes, groomsmen might wear off-white tuxedos with purple boutonnieres, and bouquets might be stephanotis, white roses, and lavender sweet pea.
