Fabric Swatches
-
When you are deciding on wedding colors, use fabric swatches to help you imagine the colors together. Plum and mango are great colors together in theory, but when you actually see them together it may be another story. Also, seeing the colors in fabric swatches instead of as bridesmaids dresses will save you a lot of time and money. Paint swatches will work as well.
The Color Wheel
-
Go back to your elementary art class and use your color wheel to help you select complementary wedding colors. Agree with your fiance on a color to start with, then find its opposite on the wheel. Experiment with other colors and find their complements. Continue until you both can agree on the colors.
