How to Coordinate Your Wedding Colors to Match Bridal Party
Match your preferred bridal party colors with other elements of your wedding. Once you've narrowed down which shade will be featured in your bridal party attire, pair essentials like your cake, invitations and overall decor to that color scheme. Use the color as an accent or match everything perfectly.

Use your wedding color when selecting invitations. Buy invitations that have a single element of your wedding color designed on them. Pull out a key element from your bridal party attire that you would like to see repeated throughout your theme, such as a solid color, stripes or even a pattern. For example, if the bridesmaids dresses are hot pink with a black and white zebra print sash, select invitations where the paper has a black and white zebra print border. Select invitations that most closely match your overall style scheme.

Match your flowers with your theme. Select flowers within the same dominant color scheme as your bridal party attire. Use a floral guide to see what's available to you; some flowers may be out of season. Visit your local florist with a color swatch to identify your options.

Sit down with your cake baker and share your color scheme. Provide her with the swatch from your bridal party dress or invitation. Let the cake really drive home the pairing of your bridal party attire colors and the rest of your wedding theme.

Purchase wedding favors that are either the same color of your bridal party outfits or wrapped in packaging that's the same color. For example, if you were going to set out heart-shaped stress relievers as favors, order them in the same color as your wedding colors.
