The color scheme of your wedding is likely a facet you’ve put some thought into, perhaps even while growing up. Often, engaged couples want to evoke a particular feel from the color palette they elect to utilize throughout their wedding day: it’s one of the more pervasive wedding ideas and decisions you’ll make in the wedding planning process. Thus, it’s important to pick colors that not only represent you as a pair, but coordinate well together for your wedding theme in a variety of wedding day elements. Some brides and grooms go for a more bohemian weddingvibe with an array of jewel tones, such as purple, dark pink, and deep red, while others feel more inclined to host a whimsical garden party with soft pastel wedding décor. Others choose to go with a more timeless wedding theme with colors in neutral tones like gold and white.
If you and your beloved are looking for a more regal, refined wedding concept, the combination of ivory or white and gold is surely the way to go, whether subdued or glittering. The white wedding has always been extremely popular –and the gold wedding, too – but combining white and gold is a wonderful way to add some warmth to your big day. This blend will elevate your ceremony and reception, creating an air of royalty around your wedding unmatched by other hues. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the key to pulling off a stunning color scheme – whether a gold wedding, white wedding, or a white-and-gold wedding, lies within the details.
