WeddingsatWork reader Mary Jane Mendoza posted a comment on Tisha Rosales’ Blush article: “How would you do it if its yellow and red? My favorite color is yellow while my fiance is red. Looking forward to your insights. ” Check out Tisha‘s thoughts in her second article for Color Play.
Hi Jane!
The red and yellow palette is very unique! It takes a confident couple to pull off that combo. It’s not a common pairing, which can, in fact, be a reason for your wedding to be a standout. The colors can actually allow you to play with themes.
Summer
Bright, poppy red mixed with lemon yellow creates a summery feel. Flowers you can play with are roses, gerberas and button mums. You can even add real red apples (remembers those small ones that can easily fit in your palm) and lemons for your table centerpieces.
Autumn
If you opt for darker hues, you can channel a different season: autumn. Mix the yellow with the deeper shade of wine red and add chocolate brown and you’ve got a fall theme. You can even add orange for a midway color. A dose of champagne gold will bring a subtle and elegant touch to your hues.
Bouquets
You will also have a great time thinking of the flowers for your bouquet. Flowers like roses and gerberas can be a good combo.
Red roses and yellow calla lilies can be another elegant choice.
How about a little bit of country with sunflowers and red roses? Why not!
It can even be fun for your entourage, too!
I hope Color Play was able to help you with your wedding colors. Enjoy your wedding preps!
