Excerpt from the video above:

For this video, let’s pick blue to start with, as many grooms choose this colour, which drives most brides crazy!! So, let’s look at the dark blue options on this colour wheel. This leads us to wedding colour choice # 2.

The rule here is different shades of the same colour go together.

So if you have one shade of blue for the bridesmaid dresses, and the reception site has a different shade of blue for the napkins, don’t panic. All shades of the same colour work together.

Choice three has this rule: colours next to each other on the colour wheel go together.

In our example, that means turquoise blue and/ or purple---depending how many colours you want in your colour scheme. In fact, you could choose blue and turquoise blue as your two main colours, and add purple into the flowers for added pop. Play around. The rule is that ‘colours next to each other on the colour wheel go together’.

Choice Four is “colours opposite each other on the colour wheel go together”.

In our example of blue, that means a melon orange. Your sweetheart wants blue and you want something bright and cheerful? No problem. Choose melon with blue accents and he gets blue and you get a nice bold colour to make a great statement. To expand on the colour scheme, you can add more shades of melon or more shades of blue following the rule that ‘shades of the same colour work together’. You can add colours that are next to blue or melon, like a true orange, or a more yellow-orange colour, using the rule ‘colours next to each other on the colour wheel go together’. Play around and have fun with the colours.
