Many brides simply pick a color they love and use that to base their wedding colors on. However, many brides have a hard time choosing a color palette just from a favorite color. Using these tips can help you determine exactly which colors to use and how to pick them.

1. Choose a Favorite Flower

One great way to select your wedding color palette is to first choose a favorite flower and use that to create a charming color scheme. For instance, beautiful ranunculus with pink petals and a pale green center provides you with a gorgeous wedding color palette that is very charming.

2. Use Seasonal Colors

If you can’t choose colors based on anything else, you can use the season of your wedding as inspiration. Fall weddings demand color palettes full of shades of crimson, orange, butter yellow, gold and amber.
