Color
One of the primary design elements to every wedding are the colors. They help cohesively tie everything together from the very beginning with the invitations.
Color is a tricky thing because there are some definite rules that can be followed when it comes to selection for a wedding. Using the aid of a color wheel is sometimes very helpful. Especially if you are at a loss for what colors will complement each other. But nowadays rules are quite often thrown out the window and couple's let their instincts guide them when choosing the colors for their wedding.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your colors:
The location- Where will the wedding be and what will the prominent colors at the location be? Keep these things in mind when choosing the colors because you don't want to clash with your location.
Season- Many times seasonal colors can help as you decide on your colors. Red, burgandy, navy blue, teal, champagne, and magenta are common colors seen during winter and early spring. As warmer weather comes it's very normal to see lavender, sky blue, yellow, orange, pink and coral. Also you may be somewhat limited in your floral colors during certain times of the year so keep that in mind as you choose your date and as you choose your color scheme.
Mood- The colors you choose will impact the mood of your wedding so pick wisely. If you are going for a tranquil event choose muted, less intense, tones. While if you are wanting a regal feel for your wedding don't be afraid to pick more bold and rich colors.
Personal Taste- What are your color likes and dislikes? A recent bride told me she was definitely not going to have some specific colors but was open minded to others. It was wonderful becasue she and I were quickly able to narrow down our color choices just based on her opinion.
Try to have two or three main colors that are complementary of each other then feel free to blend monochromatic (colors that are similar but only slightly different) tones throughout your design as well.
Many times the bride's attendants will be wearing one of the colors, typically the primary color, she selects so some bride's consider what will look best on their ladies as they think about the wedding colors.
Where should you add these colors at your wedding? Start with the attire, invitations, flowers, cake and favors. As you progress through designing your day see if there are any other areas you can add in your colors without it becoming 'too' much. Keeping your table cloths and place settings simple in color (white or black) allows you to have more color fun with the centerpieces, napkins, and even the food.
Color is a great way to express yourself and your personality. Have fun, and hopefully using some of these tips as you select your colors will allow your instincts to direct you as you design your big day!
