Find Your Wedding Style: Simplistic Chic

Choosing colors and manipulating them into your style!

by Amrta Kenner, Wedding and Event Designer

 

Finding your wedding style can be very difficult. There are so many options as well as ideas out there to choose from. You may have your mother wanting you to go with a traditional white wedding, and you may have your girlfriends wanting you to think outside the box and have an upbeat wedding. All these different opinions may clutter your sight of what you really want. Take a step back, discover your taste and just go with it. Some of the best ideas come from mistakes.

This is by far one of my favorite color schemes, I call it Simplistic Chic. The color pallet is made up of many different tones of yellows like, peanut butter, honeysuckle, caramel, sunshine yellow, hickory, honeycomb, ivory, creams and white. 

If you want to add a little color I would suggest a deep plum for a fall wedding, tiffany blue for a winter wedding, pale pink or fuschia for a spring wedding and Grass green or sea green for a summer wedding. These accent colors can be nice to add on escort or table number number cards, the ribbon on your bouquets, bridesmaids dresses or sashes or my favorite place is a flower on a folded napkin. However, this pallet speaks so much that you could even just keep it these color of yellows. If you are more of a homey bride, a cute favor idea could be mini glasses of honey or peanut butter and jelly! Add honeysuckle to the centerpieces or to a coktails and give the guests a sweet surprise!

The way I would use these colors is to alternate them on table clothes and napkins. Give a few tables peanut butter table clothes with white napkins, some a honeycomb table cloth with a caramel napkin and make the head table all white with a yellow napkin, add a splash of color in the centerpieces whether it be the color of the ceramic vase or in the flowers.

There are so many options to add depth and texture to your event. Explore all options and know no boundaries!!!
