3. Consider the wedding ceremony and the reception location.
For destination weddings, some local wedding coordinators choose to decorate the event highlighting the local colors of the place. Yes, there is a thing as such. The tropical beaches of Hawaii and Bali can be associated with red, orange, greens, and other earthy tones, and they could look pretty well in a night-time celebration.
In planning a destination wedding some brides may not be able to see the place in person. In this instance, it is vital to choose a wedding coordinator who respects your preferences and can suggest great ideas to make your destination wedding memorable.
4. Get inspired by the season.
The natural shades of the season can be the theme and the color of your destination wedding. Summer, spring, autumn, and winter have their very own colors, and you can use their unique palettes to depict their mood of your celebration. However, it does not necessarily mean that you’ll go for the usual orange and brown fall if you want to highlight autumn. Rust, gold, amber, are colors to consider. Variations of shades are great way to play it off.
For beach destination weddings, spring or summer colors are your best bet.
5. Remember the bridesmaids.
Since we are speaking of color as a unifying feature, you have to make sure that the color of your choice will look good on your bridesmaids as well. You may skip the groomsmen since they could wear the usual monochromes.
Be creative. Your bridesmaids are your wedding’s eye-candy and you would want to find dresses that would look flattering for everyone. Their dresses have to complement with your florals as well!
The wedding color is only one integral part to be taken care of in any wedding may it be in any place. Take time to plan your destination wedding. In occasions like this, you would like nothing less than perfect.
