I am dreaming of sunshine and lemonade, so for a color post I knew that I needed to talk about the color yellow!
Yellow really is a great color that compliments other colors; it adds the pop that you need to make things stand out and take notice.
There are also many fabulous flowers in yellow – so you’ll have your pick from whimsical billy balls to elegant callas and almost everything in between!
The first combination I loved was yellow and gray. Gray is a great neutral color, but throw in a soft or bright yellow and you have something beautiful.
Yellow and Navy are such a modern look, and this has nothing to do with a certain college we all love (GO BLUE)!! The combination looks very fresh and clean, and can be done fun, preppy and elegant!
My next combination is simple but also warm and cheery- yellow and white. This would lend itself well to using house linens at a venue – since those usually are white – and adding yellow centerpieces and napkins to the table.
I also looked up what shades of yellow look good on certain skin tones just in case you wanted to allow your bridal party to choose different shades to add depth:
- A yellow, gold tone will look good on any skin tone.
- Medium to Dark skin tone will want to try the brighter shades of yellow.
- If you have pale skin your going to want a dull or pastel shade of yellow.
Summer is here, and our wedding season has begun. We look forward to hearing about your color combinations as well!
