Bold Wedding Reception Table Colors
Bright, vivid colors as bold as the bride herself are an emerging trend in wedding themes and palettes as a way to fully customize the big day. Impress guests with a reception space as bright as she is with lime green, turquoise, orange or hot pink paired with classic black or sophisticated brown. Add patterns or animal prints for exotic flair or opt for classic black and white accented with pops of electric color.

Paired Colors
-
Lime green and brown, black and red, or orange and pink create striking color combinations to spice up everything from the bridesmaids' attire to invitations and place cards. Combine colors with neutrals like white and cream or add metallic accents in gold or silver. Use color swatches, paint chips or online color matching software to make the ideal color mix.
Patterns
-
Add an unexpected dimension to your bold pairing with patterns like polka dots, stripes, damask, toile or checkered squares. Used in invitations, table runners, favor boxes and programs, patterns spice up your color palette and keep your decorations engaging and interesting. For extra impact add patterns to your cake, such as colored polka dots on a white base.

Animal Prints
-
Zebra print with hot pink and silver, textured peacock feather prints with aqua, turquoise and plum, or warm giraffe print in copper and bronze bring intensity to more subtle colors and accent decor and attire. Use patterned vases, artificial flowers and printed ribbons or candles to accent solid tablecloths or runners. Incorporate favor boxes, name cards or place mats with patterns and solid ribbons.
Rainbow Palettes
-
Dazzle guests with a variety of colors, decorating each table with a solid tablecloth and contrasting flowers or candles in the centerpiece. Purple tablecloths shine with bright yellow flowers and crisp green candles, while cobalt blue and vivid orange create a striking pair for the head table. The whimsical and warm atmosphere of a rainbow motif encourages a cheerful and bright reception.
