Why do we think of a two color palette? There are so many different shades and complimentary colors that is a shame that we don’t use those colors also to add another dimension to our weddings. Think of your wedding style, and take in consideration your venues’ existing colors and styles so your colors don’t clash with them. Pick one dominant color and then look at the different shades of colors. If you can get your hands on a Pantone book you can play with the different shades as well as complimentary colors, or head to your local fabric store and get some swatches to see the different hues.

Each month we are going to show you different samples of colors that go together to give you some ideas. And since we are always talking about using different avenues to get inspiration for your wedding, we found these in Better Homes and Gardens; you can get inspiration everywhere!

Our first color combo is called Golden Olive and Tobacco Brown. I decided to start with these colors because they are bright and remind me of summer! This is an example of complimentary colors, and then to compliment them they have added a yellow, orange, and pink. The extra colors just blend together and will add that pop you may be looking for.

Do you use all of these colors? You definitely could, or you could pick two or three. It’s up to you; the complimentary colors to the Olive and Brown are just for you to throw in there to add depth to your décor. They could be the color of flowers, the extra details you add in, maybe linens, cake colors, or different shades of bridesmaid dresses.

Your choices don’t always have to be different colors they could be a different shade of the same color, which we will be showing you in future posts as well. I hope this may get you thinking, if you have any questions call us at TwoFoot Creative we love thinking outside the box and have some great ideas just waiting for you!
