Every bride-to-be knows that choosing the colors of your big day is one of the toughest decisions. Do you go with your favorite colors? What about the groom? Or should you go for something appropriate for the season or location? These are all important questions to ponder before making the choice.

Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind when picking the colors for your wedding:

• The colors will play a big part in setting the mood and theme
• You are also choosing the look and feel of the bridesmaid dresses, the flowers, the invitations and even the look of the ceremony and reception
• When you mix color you want to make sure they coordinate just right
• Start with a base color and follow that with lighter and darker shades in the same color family
• Make sure you can get the bridesmaid dresses in your color
• For flowers, if you have your heart set on a certain type then you can work around its colors to determine the final colors
• Remember! The colors you choose, no matter what, should not clash with the church or banquet facility
• Finally, invitations should reflect the color of your wedding, but can also reflect the season as well. Like a snowflake for a winter wedding

Overall, the best wedding is the one that you add the special touches to incorporating you and your spouse’s ideas into the biggest event of your life.
