We’re days away from the official winter solstice (I may have just shivered as I typed that) and while we can expect to see the standard soft wedding palettes this season, there are no rules against a splash of color. No matter if you’re the one planning your wedding or just attending a few on your own, here are some ways to liven things up for an extra colorful ceremony.
Colorful Furniture
You’ll need it anyway, why not add some bright furniture pieces to your event. You can have the furniture match your wedding palette or incorporate new hues to complement the chosen colors. Chairs might seem obvious, but vibrant pieces like this purple velvet loveseat from Wayfair or even a dramatic floral printed chaise for the bride. Plus, these colorful seating arrangements lend themselves to even nicer pictures!
Show Off Your Body Art
Gone are the days of being ashamed of your tattoos! If you and/or your partner have tattoos, especially colorful ones, show them off on your wedding day! Some wedding dresses cover up more skin than others but depending on where your tattoos are located, find the wedding dress that will show them off. The same can go for the groom. If your partner is planning on wearing a suit and has tattoos on his arms, instead of wearing long sleeves, he can opt for short sleeves or rock rolled-up sleeves for the big day.
Amp Up Your Hair
Who said your hair has to be predictable on your wedding day? Over at Rebellious Brides, they’ve given us plenty of non traditional wedding looks for inspiration. Don’t be afraid to add some color to your hair, companies like oVertone have created at-home hair color products that make it easy to dye your hair any color of the rainbow, as vibrant or as subtle as you’d like!
It’s in the Shoes
The shoes make the outfit (or so we’re told). Gone are the days of satin beige pumps, brides are going for sparkles, silver, gold, metallic, sneakers, etc… We particularly love it when a bride incorporates her “something blue” into her shoes, (like these ones!). Don’t be afraid to let your true personality shine through on your wedding day!
