So you need a color scheme. You’re throwing a party of any kind… a wedding, a bar or bat mitzvah, a 16 sixteen or a bachelorette party. Some of those might not need as much planning as a wedding, but a color scheme will make all of your decorating needs that much easier.
Let’s talk about colors real quick. When it comes down to it, whatever colors you like and put together is your decision. If you like it, that’s all you really need.
But in case you want to create a flowing color scheme that matches the theme of your party, keep reading.
My aunt got married on Labor Day this past year. She was so excited but we basically had 3 months to actually get some of the major details straight. For one, a color scheme needed to be decided on. Her “theme” was rustic chic and was held outside at a gorgeous venue. Mason jars were used as drinking glasses, and the food was kosher BBQ (sounds interesting, right? It was.) Linens, flowers and just accent accessories needed to be chosen and ordered, but my aunt didn’t know how to go about picking a palette or even where to start looking. So I created a variety of palettes for her to get even a beginning of an idea.
So where do you go to find an idea for a color palette? Well, I went to one of my favorite apps, pinterest. Now, there is definitely a trend of brides going to pinterest to look for ideas, and I have to tell you, it’s not a bad idea to go and look, and for color schemes, it’s a gold mine. Many wedding inspo sites have color swatches, little colorful circles giving you the perfect picture to show your event planner, or take with you to a rental store.
Listen, I can’t tell you what to do for your events or what colors you should use. If you decide 4 shades of pink is what you need, go for it. It’s your event so it’s your decision. But I’m going to give you a resource. Visit our pinterest board, color schemes, to find your next color inspiration!
