Wedding Color Combination Basics

Colors are the first element you need to decide when planning your wedding. Colors contribute greatly to the whole theme and atmosphere of any event. Thus choosing the right wedding color scheme is very important. Many brides tend to hesitate to combine colors themselves and stay in the safe side: going for all whites and pales or combining their favorite colors with whites. However combining colors for your wedding should not be seen as a challenge, you should be able to have fun with it and be confident with your choice.

There are usually 3 types of wedding colors combinations to choose from：

The monotone colors

You stick with one main color only. It will be an elegant and cute look if you play with one color of different hues. For example if you’re a big pink person, you can combine different shades of pink, from baby pink to bubblegum pink. The pink theme is everywhere: your bouquet, your wedding cake, your centerpiece, your bridesmaid dresses, even your wedding dress.

The analogous colors

The combination of 2 colors next to each other that in a color wheel. This is another easy color combination for you. Perfection on combining two colors can enhance your wedding charm, leaving you and your guest a everlasting memory. Such colors like red and orange, blue and green, etc.

The complementary colors

Their names are “complementary” but actually they are not complementing each other at all. These are colors that are opposite to each other on the color wheel. Or, in another word, they’re contrast colors. They can easily stand out and catch your guest’s attention. Such colors like purple and yellow. The further the colors are away from each other, the more contrasts and strong impression the combination will create.

How to Address Your Wedding Invitation

You must have heard so many different rules about addressing your wedding invitations and still can’t get it straight. It seems so confusing to you, right? You’re right! Addressing wedding invitations can seem a bit confusing, but the rules are relatively simple for most of the people on your guest list. Hope this post will inspire you.

Spell out titles and degrees (“Doctor”), and always use “Mr. and Mrs.” for married couples. If a couple is unmarried but living together, or is married but uses different last names, put their names on separate lines in alphabetical order. Unmarried couples who do not live together should receive two separate invitations. And, if a guest is in the military, the title of an officer whose rank is equal to or higher than a captain in the army or a lieutenant in the navy is placed next to his or her name with the branch of service below.

You should also include titles for retired high-ranking officers, inserting after their names. And the branch of service should always be listed below the names of reserve officers on active duty, noncommissioned officers and enlisted persons.

As for children, it is unnecessary to include their names on the outer envelope of a wedding invitation. Instead, list them on the inner envelope with their parents. The absence of a child’s name altogether implies that he or she is not invited. However, many guests may not realize this and assume their children are invited.

If you don’t want kids to come, be sure to spread the word that you can only accommodate adults at your reception, and do not leave a space with “Number of guests” to be filled in.

Finally, inner envelopes should be addressed to “Mr. and Mrs. David” without first names or addresses. And if a single person is invited with an unspecified guest, add “and Guest” to the inner envelope to indicate that he or she may bring a date.

Great Gatsby Bridal Ideas

I love the 1920s for many reasons. It was a time when women tossed their corsets, hiked up their hemlines, chopped off their long locks, and wore noticeable makeup and fabulous headpieces. Their style was gorgeous and daring. It is timeless, revisited often in fashion.

The 20s’ women also won the right to vote, supported themselves, and were a force to be reckoned with. Having said all of the above, what’s my point is that you can add the gorgeous new “Gatsby Collection” to her wedding accessory collection.
