It’s time to take a look at beautiful wedding colour ideas for winter celebrations. From sumptuous red to burnt orange and even shades of ice blue and rich magenta, these ideas will be sure to make your heart sing.
It’s often thought that at certain times of the year in different seasons there are appropriate colours to choose. But let’s face the facts. It’s just colour! You don’t have to have traditionally seasonal colours at your wedding.
If you love neon yellow and want to use it in your winter wedding, you ruddy well go for it. That being said, if you want a traditional winter colour palette, that’s great too.
You don’t actually have to have a colour scheme at all. Many real weddings I feature haven’t had a theme or have used a multitude of hues. So before you dive into the colour ideas below, consider if a formal scheme is for you.
Choosing one or even two colours will keep things simple. But you’d be surprised at the number of different colours you can put together. When using more than one shade, consider one or two dominant tones, then use the others for accents. Metallics are a great way to add additional texture and colour that match everything!
