Yellow – This sunny color is perfect for a garden wedding. Imagine the fun spring-themed decorations and wedding favor boxes that you will find to go with this happy color!

Blue – The key to choosing blue as a wedding color is to look for a blue that is not quite a navy and is not as light as a Carolina blue. The goal is to find something that makes you feel warm and tropical.

Pale Pink – This luxurious color is soft and will match almost any bridesmaid skin tone. Just think about all your good female friends wearing beautiful light pink gowns with sparkling bridesmaid jewelry.

Army Green – Match this color with beige and violet to make it softer. You will not believe how elegant army green can look with the correct complementary colors.

Light Grey – On its own, light grey is not a cheery wedding color, but when you match it with coral or light pink it makes those colors pop. Light grey is a great spring alternative to using black as a base color.

Now that you know what’s trendy, how do you find what is right for you? Here are a few tips to nailing down your wedding colors with ease.

Start at a paint store. Every paint store has swatches and books filled with paint colors. Browse through the swatches and see what stands out to you. Likely you will quickly be able to find complementary colors suggested for you by the professionals. Even better, you can bring the swatches with you when shopping for bridesmaids’ dresses and other wedding accessories.

If the paint store seems overwhelming, try starting with a mood board. Clip photos that you like out of magazines, go through family photo albums and try to find items that you like. When they are posted together on one board, see what they have in common. Likely this will lead you to your wedding colors quickly and painlessly.
