What Your Wedding Colors Say About You
The colors you choose for
your big day reflect your personality and style. You can create a sophisticated
environment or a whimsical escape. Colors can influence moods and exude
sensuality, coziness, earthiness and youthfulness. With tasteful variations from
vibrant to pastel and shimmery to matte, your wedding day colors speak volumes
about you and what you hold dear. Whether you choose your favorite colors for
your wedding or select hues to complement the current season, we have compiled
a list of some wedding color choices and what they say about you.
Black: A conservative choice, black complements
almost any color, especially lighter hues. Dignified and mysterious, black
denotes sexiness and sophistication with a modern twist. Black is classic,
never trendy, alluding to a modern bride. As an opulent choice, black is
timelessly elegant.
White: Symbolic of purity and innocence, white has
strong connotations of youth and perfection. White aficionados seek excellence
and enlightenment, as simplicity and recognition are constant ventures. White
is a glorious hue (or lack thereof) that denotes a clean palette or fresh start
for those who seek serenity and peace.
Red: A passionate, romantic choice, red is
impulsive and outgoing. Depicted as zealous and ambitious, red symbolizes love
and rage. Whether it denotes joy, celebration, happiness or prosperity, red
elicits a dramatic response from both sides of the emotional spectrum. Red
lovers tend to be restless and optimistic and go along with people with
uncomplicated natures. A powerful selection, red is sure to represent a fiery
hostess with 'look at me' flair.
Pink: A softer, girlish choice, pink is the
sweeter side of red. A delicate hue, pink represents a sensitive heart that is
affectionate and nurturing. The bride surrounded with pink has a maternal grace
and compassion and a desire for protection or shelter. The rosy hue fan may
also have a strong personality, but one that is willing to share.
Orange: Spontaneous and daring, brides who choose
orange are bold. Because orange is a happy and trendy hue, orange enthusiasts
tend to be popular, have excessive energy and are part of a large social
circle. From a bright and happy backdrop to an exotic, spicy richness, brides
who prefer orange tend to be fearless and curious, with a zest for life.
Yellow: The color of a sunny day, yellow denotes
happiness and hope. Exuding warmth and vitality and usually possessing a great
sense of humor, people who love yellow have cheerful spirits and optimistic
values. You tend to look forward to the future and are intellectual, creative
and idealistic. Yellow represents enlightenment and spirituality, lending
itself as a great color on your day of matrimony.
Green: Green shades symbolize life, freshness,
nature and fertility. A common choice for eco-friendly brides, green shows that
you value your health and the environment. A harmonized and balanced color,
green is a mixture of warm yellow and cool blue, just like its admirers. A
calming and tranquil hue, brides who select green are affectionate, frank and
responsible. You seek stability and balance, yet remain fiercely principled and
refined.
Blue: Soothing, compassionate and cool, blue is
the color of tranquility and royalty. Blue belles are deliberate,
introspective, conservative and patient, tending to be sensitive and wise.
Serene and cool, blue denotes cautious partners who are faithful but require a
calm and harmonious existence. From watery aqua to a deep shade of midnight,
blue can be soft and sweet or strong and bold.
Purple: Often associated with both royalty and
luxury, purple is a passionate color. Choosing purple symbolizes dignity,
tolerance and value. Violet lovers tend to be unconventional and observant,
with a multifaceted personality. Tolerant and witty, purple devotees are likely
to achieve authoritative positions. From light lavender and lilac buffs, who
tend to be charming, witty and cultured, to deep eggplant lovers, who are
creative and talented, purple can be provocative or sweet.
Brown: A natural, neutral color of the earth, brown
represents wholesomeness and dependability. Symbolizing comfort and
contentment, brown represents honesty. Just right for your wedding day, brown
is substantial, steady and responsible. From rich chocolate and dark coffee to
cream and soft beige, this earthy shade can be intense or pale, dramatic or
modest.
The aforementioned color
synopses are not strict rules or character definitions, but rather are designed
as an indicator of what is important to you. Whether you select a spicy orange
to match the falling autumn leaves or a peony pink simply because it is your
favorite color, choose what looks and feels good to you. Your natural selection
is indicative of your true self and innate style.
