Our Wedding Color Palette

One of the very first things we pondered on when we started planning for the wedding was the color motif. It's important for the elements to look unified and cohesive, and all brides are aware that a color palette is key in achieving this.

Most people who know me know as well that I love all things PINK, and it was but expected that pink shall be my wedding color. :) My next question to myself was: what other color must I combine pink with?

As usual, I did a lot of research, and there are too many beautiful combos to choose from. I myself had a hard time fixating my attention on just one. Some of my options were the following:

Shades of Pink and Gray

Shades of Red, Pink and White

The first palette above are really pretty and are easy on the eyes.  The colors are soft and romantic. The second one is gorgeous too, but I am not a fan of red.

I was almost close to choosing one from the two above, but I felt that something was missing. My friends know that I am a fan of vivid and bright colors, and on our wedding, I want to see things pop on the photos.

Then I saw this..

Hot Pink, Blush Pink and Navy Blue

The colors are bold and vibrant, but at the same time romantic. Plus, navy blue is the color Percy likes most, so our palette is technically a combination of both our favorite colors. Perfect!  Finally, the decision was made! 

We will be carefully planning the blend of this color combo depending on the wedding elements they will be applied to. For example, the bridesmaids', ninangs and flower girls’ dresses will be navy, and all their bouquets will be predominantly blush pink. At the reception, most decors and linens will be blush pink, fuchsia and navy blue.

There are many considerations in choosing your wedding colors, and most couples usually ask for the popular color trends. For Percy and me obviously, it was a different story.  We just let our own imagination and feelings guide us.



Cheers,
