Hot Bridal Decorations and Next Year’s Color Trends
Hold the pastels, and keep other low-key colors away; new bridal decorations are going to explode with bright hues next year! Although popular colors for 2008 were subdued lilacs, chocolate browns and monochromatic blacks – next year’s brides will be going for a splash of bright colors to celebrate their dream wedding. What colors do fashion experts recommend?
Go for Glowing
Luminous colors are the new ‘it’ colors for the coming year. Think tropical – bright yellow and turquoise, or a splash of orange to make your guests feel they are heading to an exciting holiday event. Light blue forecasts for the coming year include tiffany blue and light aqua. They go perfectly with green florals, yellow, red, lavender and orange colors.
Orange color schemes will call for bright shades complemented by softer peach hues. You can use bright orange flowers or cute keepsakes like peach boxes and orange cameras for your reception. Orange motifs also go well with purple, burgundy, sky blue, gold, chocolate brown, lilac and hot pink.
Be Pretty in Pink
Pink colors are also making a big statement in 2009. For your wedding cake, use a cup-cake motif with fun pink icing, together with mini-cakes topped off with fancy trimming. Try pink and white flower combinations to add a hint of color to your wedding party.
Be as Colorful as the Seasons
If some of these new trends are too loud for you, try seasonal colors to brighten up your wedding day. Spring colors in vogue are: lilac, tangerine, cream and lavender. You can also opt for summer colors like red, coral, lime and blue. If your favorite season is the fall, use navy blue, gold, silver, plum and taupe. A winter wedding will look good with cream, purple and gold accents.
The Right Way to Do Color
Since its all about color, this does not mean you will have to paint the whole affair wall to wall pink, orange or yellow. Just use a few bright colors as accents to liven up the décor. Include a bit of color in your trimmings, table centerpieces and flower arrangements.
Keep some part of your wedding in classic styles and traditional colors. Stay with white wedding gowns and formal colors for the bridal entourage. Color should spice up your special day with trendy details, so try not to overwhelm your guests.
If you are planning a more personal wedding, try using the latest color trends to bring out your own style. Bright yellows, blues and orange can give your guests a tropical impression that they will never forget. Luminous pinks can also transform any wedding into a fun, memorable event. You can also do seasonal colors to make your party an eye catching success. Just remember colors should be done tastefully. Make creative bridal decorations with next year’s glowing color trends!
