Wedding Parties Decoration
What is a good feature colour to break up a black and white wedding?
I’m having a black and white wedding. Bridal party attire, decorations, stationary etc will all be black and white, but I think i need a touch of colour to lighten it up. My fiance says red or yellow. I don’t really like yellow and red can be harsh. Any other suggestions.
It is a formal, summer, evening wedding. Any reasons why the colour would work would be fantastic.
Thanks in advance.

After looking at all colors on a color wheel, these are my suggestions: Blues and greens are out–reason–what flowers to use, few green and blue flowers. Love the red—best for b/w weddings but you don’t want—is very dramatic. Yellow–no too bright. Leaves pinks, orangey corals and purple/lilac family. To me purple in a summer wedding is just too dark, a pale lilac would be o.k. but really no “pop”—-So No. 2 pick is coral and peach, based on Pantone colors for spring 2011 top ten, color name is Coral Rose–a deep coral—reason—flowers, many come in orange/coral/peach family and look good with black and white. No. 1–Pinks (my fav. no matter how much used) Top no. one pantone color for spring 2011 honeysuckle ( a medium rich, deep pink–beautiful) and so many flowers from red hot cherry, hot pink,deep rose, mauve’s, pink///use several different shades of pink (Use color names Julia Roberts used in movie Steel Magnolias–Blush and Bashful,ha, then add one you call rose and then the honeysuckle///when someone asks your colors you can say b/w with colors in pink family, Rose, Honeysuckle, Blush and Bashful—-just had to throw that in). Add a dot of yellow to corals or a dot of lime green to pink bouquets for some pop!! Bring out a bit of the lime green in decorations, table decor or in some part of decorations as lime (spider mums, button//kermit//mums and lime hypernicum berries for bouts) is the in color right now and really would bring some pop to break up the b/w color scheme.
Fall Pantone 2011 top ten colors include a nice/rich coral named emberglow and the honeysuckle is also on the fall top ten. I really love the turquoise with the black and white and it could be added as a bit of an accent color rather than the lime for table decorations, but I did not choose it based on type/availability of flowers to use with this color.
Go to this site and look at color chart, can cut out circles and match up with black
http://www.mypersonalartist.com/ink-colors.html
Look at the black , see how the turquoise pops out, also look at the orange and clementine. Then look at the mauve and coral (which is really a pink looking color) and try to imagine color scheme. Look at yellow with the orange and clementine and then the pistachio with the magenta, mauve and coral(looks pink rather than coral)-a bit of lime, mixed with other greenery–beautiful
One last thing re:2011 press release re: Pantone View Colour Planner Spring/Summer 2012-Crossing Bridges and Building Colorful Dreams contains 8 palettes, the one I like is:
“Spirit–the bridge between light and dark. Brown and terra cotta blend into pink and are lightened by rose, coral, vivid orange and a trace of turquoise. This is the last memory of the day.”
Hope this helps—final choice the hot cherry pink, hot pink and my fav. the honeysuckle—Roses, lillies, tulips, mums, snaps, gerbers, calla lilly, peonies, rannuculus, lisisanthus—- all in shades of pink, love the mini mauve/pinkish calla lilly for bouts. Add in the lime for “pop” and a bit of white to seperate different pinks, so that each individual flower can be seen. Love the matching hot pink heels with short bm dresses. Congratulations and Best Wishes on your upcoming wedding!!Enjoy!!
