Choosing your wedding color palettes Some brides may feel beholden to

the color white on their wedding days, at least in regard to their gowns. Those who do often embrace the opportunity to showcase their personal styles and set the mood for their nuptials by em-bracing various colors throughout their ceremonies and receptions.

Color can be a critical component when establishing the ambiance for

a wedding. Color can evoke certain moods and set the tone for the day. Some colors work better together than others, so while choosing a color scheme may seem like an easy under-taking, some couples may find it re-quires more careful consideration than they first imagined.

According to the bridal guide A Practical Wedding, wedding colors can

give couples a starting-off point for all of the other details of their weddings. This ensures the wedding ultimately has a cohesive look. Colors need not necessarily match, but borrowing on similar hues can make it easier to plan wedding party wardrobes, flowers, ta-ble linens, and much more.

Colors can come from anywhere, but many couples try to coordinate their color schemes with the season in which the wedding takes place. In fact, couples who are finding it difficult to decide on a palette can look to season-al colors for inspiration. For example, pastels and blooming flowers can set the scene for spring weddings, while jewel tones and rich reds and greens may be fitting for winter ceremonies.

Some couples opt for more loosely defined color palettes, such as neutral and natural colors. Country and garden weddings can borrow ideas from the landscape, with natural linens paired with wildflowers. Using whites, grays and beiges enables couples to add a pop of color without overwhelming the setting.

Brides magazine suggests that cou-

ples avoid choosing too many colors. A maximum of three with one metal-lic can ensure that things look cohe-sive without being over-the-top. Also, brides and grooms needn’t feel pres-sured by the “hot” colors of the mo-ment. As with clothing and hairstyles, trends change. It is better to select col-ors that will stand the test of time and look good for years to come.

Couples may have to incorporate colors already at their wedding ven-ues into their style. Fortunately, many reception sites are outfitted in neutral tones to enable customization.

The wedding resource The Knot also says having a basic knowledge of the color wheel can help. Typically, colors that pair well together are those that are opposites on the color wheel. Also, colors that share proximity on the color wheel will have similar tones and play well together. Examples of oppo-site colors include purples and yellows, reds and greens, and oranges and blues.

Couples should not be afraid to take some chances with their color palettes, especially if they want to make a bold and modern statement.

Things to consider when choosing a wedding party Making the important decision to

get married can fill couples with joy and excitement as they imagine spend-ing the rest of their lives together. Nat-urally, brides- and grooms-to-be are anxious to share the good news with others and include family and friends in the festivities. One way couples exemplify inclusion is by asking their closest acquaintances to be part of their wedding parties.

Being asked to serve as a brides-maid or groomsman is an honor. Some couples may be tempted to ask every friend, sibling or cousin they have to be in their wedding parties, and some do. In fact, ancient Roman law re-quired 10 witnesses to be part of the wedding ceremony. However, the larg-er the wedding party, the more people couples have to coordinate and the more personalities they must manage.

While large wedding parties are in style, there isn’t any one-size-fits-all formula to decide which size party is right for a particular situation. Trends vary based on geography and culture. These tips can help couples decide on the size of their wedding parties.

• Match it to scope and style. Wed-ding planners may use a standard ratio for a proportion of guests to wedding party members. That ratio is one pair of wedding attendants for every 50 guests. This creates a balanced feel where the more people in attendance, the larger the wedding party and vice versa.

• Consider your expenses. Wedding

party members may be asked to spend considerable amounts of money to be in the wedding, but the couple will have certain expenses tied to the wed-ding party as well. These can include limousines to ferry people between the ceremony and reception, photography costs to arrange and photograph large wedding parties, the cost of bouton-nieres and bouquets, attendants’ gifts,

as well as extra mouths to feed at the rehearsal dinner. Small wedding par-ties can be easier on couples’ budgets.

• Know your expectations. Couples should discuss what they expect from their wedding parties. Do couples want their loved ones to be very hands-on or waiting in the wings? For those who want a lot of input from their wedding parties, asking distant friends or family

to be included may be impractical.• Select reliable, easygoing peo-

ple. Wedding party members should be people couples can rely on, and it only helps if wedding party members are not prone to overreacting. Choose a wedding party that can be trusted and people with whom you get along.

Wedding party sizes are up to the couple, but bigger isn’t always better.

Fall weddings claim the top spot

According to Zola, a free suite of wedding tools, summer has been up-staged by autumn as the most popular time of the year to tie the knot. For the first time, this year 40 percent of all weddings will take place during the months of September and Octo-ber. Additionally, the site identified October 20, October 13 and Septem-ber 29, each a Saturday, as the most popular wedding dates, respectively, of 2018.
