"I would say, some really trendy things are, in the spring, brides are trying to back away from the bright green and pink that was so popular last year. You can certainly still use it but very you know, use some variations of the pinks. Use a raspberry, which is very popular and it's a much more, has a little bit more grown up feel, than just hot pink. Throw in some yellows and some greenery, and then you've got a great lush color scheme. Another big one for the spring that I really, really love, is black, white and yellow. Kind of throw in, black and white is always classic, it's always going to be in style, always going to be good. But you throw that little splash of yellow in and it, oh! It's so good! A good thing to consider when you're picking out your wedding colors, what speaks to you? How do you feel when you see a certain color? Sometimes red puts people off, but sometimes people just, they love it. So think about what colors really give you a warm and fuzzy feeling. Or what colors make you comfortable. Seasonality is a, is a big part of it, but you don't have to stick to. If it's Christmas, don't stick with red and green. Go with black, white and gold, nice classic color scheme. Use some Damask prints in there, there are a lot of black and white Damask prints that are beautiful. And can still go with the season but not be bright red, bright green. Print considering colors, in most locations you don't have to consider. This room is a really good example. We are in the Roudabush Room, downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. The exposed brick is beautiful, pink looks horrible in this room. You can't use, you could try but pinks aren't the best color. So if you have a historic building, if you have a location and the carpet is very patterned, very bright. Yes, you would want to at least consider that, when looking at your colors. To make sure it doesn't completely clash."
