5 Wedding theme Mistakes we tend to overlook

Haven’t you looked forward to your wedding day since you were a little girl and all that movie jazz of practicing you walking down the aisle. As the reality and your dream day approach, there are countless details involved in planning the perfect wedding day. With so much going on, it is easy to be ignorant to some small yet important parts that could ruin the whole set up. You will get tons of ideas about colour pallets, you can refer to our previous blog, but sometimes you just need the clearer idea on how to actually decide the theme should actually go. Here are some amazing facts that you need to consider at your wedding to avoid a hideous turnout.

Complementary shades are a big no!

Using complementary colours can make a pretty questionable choice at your wedding. The combination of 2 complementary colours can result to a loud and gaudy colour scheme which may not be suggestive for an occasion like weddings. This bold colour palette will absolutely attract too much attention and will make the iconic white wedding gown look pale and boring and surely out of place. So, unless you are trying to build a funky vibe of the circus theme, we suggest trying to refrain from using complementary colours as the basis of your wedding theme.

Don’t keep it dull

Although we recommend not using complementary colour scheme and may it can be too bold of a choice for your wedding, but having said that we also think incorporating at least one bold colour will perk up your wedding décor. If you are looking for a dash of energetic colour at your elegant wedding, try using the classic bold wedding colours like purple, salmon, and orange. Rich and powerful colours such as these can add a certain charm to your big occasion without taking away the grace of the day. If you aren’t hell bend on traditional style white gowns, you can choose your wedding gown in bold colours as well to just set an offbeat example.

Trying to be unique

In this social media generation we only want to be unique and It is a good thing you want to be unique. But keep in mind that if you take too many risks, there is a good chance one of them will go down the drains. So, if you have made up your mind to break the tradition and go with offbeat colours just stop right there. It will only look gaudy and flashy. Stick to more subtle colour palettes instead. Even if you want to take risks with your choice of colours, do it with colours that are well coordinated and also go along the venue.

Consider the pictures

At times we very much forget the element that’s going to be there forever! Your wedding photos are going to be cherishing for a lifetime. So sometimes some colour combinations seem prefect to our eye but look pretty dull in the pictures, hence any shade of the RGB scheme (red, green, yellow) should be considered as they can be manipulated in picture editing, giving you a vibrant image.

Overindulging

So, when you have finally chosen a colour that you think would really look stunning in your wedding. Now, all you have to understand is that not to get into the deception of thinking that everything at your wedding has to be done in that same colour. The key to using your chosen colour in a sophisticated manner is to only use it on a few key spots and items. Subtle details in different places will tick all the boxes. And you can refer to various magazines and images to get a hang on this.

We understand that picking and agreeing on the same colour scheme is time consuming, so may try keeping a colour wheel or a look book in hand before so start planning. These guidelines will more or less help you select well and have a wedding without looking like an outcast.
