Choose the right colours for your wedding

What’s an Indian wedding without pomp and colour? It’s a great sight to see all the vibrant colours come to life amidst the chaos. What does your dream wedding look like? Is it a beautiful wedding by the beach, a house-boat wedding or a wedding with near and dear ones away in the hills? Wherever your dream destination maybe, take it up a few notches with a colour themed wedding. Turning this into a reality is actually easy. Are you unsure of what to do? Follow these simple ideas and go cray!

1. For a blushing pink bride

Pink defines feminine innocence and eternal love. Brighten up your mehendi ceremony or an evening sangeet with a graceful palette of pink. Why not go for baby pink roses and blushing fuchsia curtains? Experiment with delicate lacy fabrics for your lehenga with a pop of pink. The backdrop will perfectly complement the new blushing bride.

2. Dance like a peacock

Take inspiration from the elegant peacock and dance your night away. Pick bold and bright blues for the baraat. A velvety blue lehenga and a navy blue sherwani accessorized with simple gold jewellery will complete the look.

3. Out with the red, in with the purple

Red is so yesterday for the modern couple. Oomph it up with a purple mandap decorated with violets, lavenders and red roses. A beautiful purple Kancheepuram saree or an intricate lehenga will bring a modern touch to the traditional setting.

4. For the happy couple

Guava pink and green will double the envy of the bridesmaids and the groomsmen. Throw a perfect reception with accents of greens and guava pink. Get your guests to dress up in happy colours to add a fun twist to the evening.

5. Sparkle with Sapphires

Match your big rock with sparkling blues while you break the news of your engagement. A splash of purple hues here and there will accentuate the magic of the setting. With delicate cutlery and matching centerpieces, you can never go wrong.

6. In love with the sunset

Pep up your wedding photo-shoot with a sunset themed palette. Match your outfits with the natural setting and let the sinking sun pick up the hues. Capture bright and happy memories with bright and happy colours.

7. Say yellow!

Perfect your beach wedding with a yellow tinged haldi ceremony. Throw in accents of reds and browns to up the look. If anything, you’ll at least match your haldi perfectly!

8. Mute it down

Don’t keep away those sober shades. You can look uber cool in muted colours too! This is perfect for walking down the aisle followed by your comrades in cayenne reds. Rock your pearly white wedding dress while your hubby-to-be pulls of a cool shade of blue.

9. Go royal with gold!

Tradition never goes out of fashion. Go gold with thick silk borders and traditional colours on your special day. Perfect your once-in-a-lifetime memory with traditional temple jewellery and make your momma proud.
