If you are a fall bride and you haven’t picked your color scheme yet, not to fret, CitySaheli has done some research for you. With the myriad of choices out there, choosing a color scheme can easily make any bride’s head spin.
CitySaheli spoke with Shawna Gohel, a wedding professional from Maharani Weddings, who gave us the scoop on the favorite colors for this fall. “The best way to chose your color palette is to cozy up with some chai and go through wedding magazines,” says Shawna, founder of Maharani Weddings. Shawna likes to use floral bridal magazines, since she gets distracted by the dresses, shoes, and everything else wedding related! “When you flip through the pictures, suddenly certain colors will speak to you, and you will continue to go back to them. That is when you know you have found YOU. The color palette you choose for your wedding is the foundation for creating a wedding that uniquely represents your personality as a couple.”
Shawna pointed out that one of the biggest mistakes that Indian brides make is choosing too many colors (sometimes four or more!), which can make a wedding look like blocks of color and make the event lose fluidity. Indian brides should remember to utilize a layering technique. By layering colors, you create a cohesive wedding with depth, dimension and something visually pleasing for your guest’s eyes.
Shawna’s top wedding color palette picks for the fall:
Black tie, elegant affair. Opt for deep and rich colors, such as:
- plum with champagne and black
- burgundy and bright yellow
- rose pink and gold
Formal, festive event. Opt for energetic and vibrant colors brighten up the atmosphere, such as:
- turquoise and yellow
- kelly green and brown
- fuschia with lime green
Casual event. Opt for colors inspired by the beach, such as:
- soft blue with mustard yellow
- peach and yellow
- white on white & white
