Wedding colours

Here at Something Kinda Cute we love colours, but we also know that sometimes it can be difficult to pick them. The truth is that defining a colour pallet will help you to keep the decoration, the stationery, the dresses and the overall mood of your big day under the same theme. So here are a couple of tips that will guide you towards finding the perfect colours for your wedding!

I have so many favourite colours, where do I begin?

You can get inspiration for your colour scheme from various places. Here are a few examples: 1. think about colours to which you feel particularly attracted and mix them using online tools such as kuler (check out the amazing colour matching tool!); 2. consider your venue and study it - sometimes the venue location or its architectural features can help you to find your colours; 3. think about your favourite flowers - if you are particularly fond of poppies maybe you could incorporate red in your scheme either as the predominant tone or as an accent; 4. get inspiration from the season - nature itself can be a great inspiration!

Now that I've found my colours how do I know they match my ideas?

Professional designers normally use mood boards to convey ideas and concepts. A mood board is a collection of textures and images that can be used as a reference point to plan your wedding's overall mood. Start with a base surface, preferably a rigid kind of card, and decorate it with photos and pieces of fabric. As your composition grows you will be able to determine whether or not your ideas and colours work together. Or, if you would rather not get gluey fingers, you can always resort to digital composition tools like the wonderful Pinterest.

Have fun playing with colours!
