Are you planning your wedding? Can’t decide on the colour scheme for the bridesmaid dresses? Maybe we can help! Colours can signify different things depending upon the culture or region. We have put a short article together about colours, the vibe they give off and about their traditions.
Diamond-White: Ever since Queen Victoria, bright diamond-white has enjoyed strong associations with purity and the privileged. The significance of wearing a white wedding gown in the 21st century is still thought to mean that the bride is pure. However these days, white may have a lot more to do with modernity.
Ivory: Ivory is elegant, old-world and soft-spoken. Ivory represents quiet, pleasantness with a touch of luster. As a neutral, ivory is a calming colour. It carries some of the same pureness, softness, and cleanliness of white but is slightly richer, a touch warmer.
Champagne: Refined and traditional, rich and conservative. Champagne has a slightly vintage feel.
Lavender: Soft, dainty and ladylike. Lavender suggests refinement along with grace, elegance, and something special. This colour often appears in weddings that hark to the past, with traditional-looking cakes and florals.
Pink: It is thought to represent femininity and romance. Use pink to convey playfulness, fun and happinness (hot pink flamingoes) and tenderness (pastel pinks).
Red: The colour most readily associated with passion, desire, and love. In other cultures, red can symbolize purity or good fortune. Red is a high-drama colour, and although there is a shade of red for everyone, this would be the wrong colour to have in varying shades at the altar, as they easily clash with each other.
Coral: In weddings, this colour often has an indie vibe. It might have a Latino, East Indian or Caribbean feel, or just a strong designer foundation.
Yellow: Optimism, cheerfulness, a strong appreciation for friendship. Yellow connotes optimism and light-hearted cheeriness. Yellow is not a flattering colour for everyone, so consider the skin tones of your wedding party before choosing the shade.
Gold: Lavishness, luxury, warmth, tradition. It is a warm colour that can be both bright and cheerful as well as traditional.
Aqua: Fun-loving, fresh and vibrant. Fearless and creative the colour encourages a festive and celebratory mood. It’s close association with water conjures the more emotional qualities of fun, letting go and joy.
Royal Blue: Grand, traditional, and casting an eye toward an idealized past. In many diverse cultures blue is significant in religious beliefs, brings peace.
Purple: Historically known as the colour of royalty, purple still implies elegance and wealth. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and sophistication. It conveys wealth and extravagance. It is also feminine and romantic. However, because it is rare in nature, purple can appear exotic or artificial. In lighter shades, purple is considered very youthful.
Silver: Restrained wealth and glamour, sophistication. The colour silver is often seen as a sophisticated colour and along with gold it represents wealth and riches.
Grey: Modern, understated, retro-informed and sleek. This colour actually is emotionally-neutral. It does imply a certain amount of conservative tradition and formality Lately, grey has deposed champagne as one of the hottest neutrals in weddings. Bridesmaids in grey with deco-rhinestone buckled sashes look up-to-the-minute … and stunning.
Green: Represents nature and fertility. Almost all shades, green are an incredibly popular couple with both men and women. It is relaxing to look at and gives an appearance of health and vitality. In weddings, green reveals a modern sensibility, and often comes with inventive, non-traditional florals.
