Your Wedding Venue and Wedding Colors: Two Essential Elements of Wedding Planning historic oakland manor

Two of the first and most important details are your wedding venue and wedding colors

Planning for a wedding can get overwhelming. From sorting out guest lists to deciding on a reception menu, there are many details to go over before your big day comes together. Two of the first and most important details are your wedding venue and wedding colors. Here are a few suggestions to make deciding these two important details a little easier.

Tips for Finding a Wedding Venue

You’ve said yes to the ring, and now it’s time to say yes to the right wedding venue. First, look at your wedding guest list and consider the size of space you will need for hosting. Then, ask yourself a few basic questions:

  • Do you want to have a large dance floor?
  • Are you considering a place where guests can get drinks and mingle comfortably?
  • How are the lighting and acoustics of your venue prospects?
  • How far is it from your ceremony location?

These are all determining factors that can help narrow down your search.

Historic Oakland is an excellent option for hosting your wedding day! Sprawling landscape, enough room for guests and exquisite decor are some of the few great details Historic Oakland has to offer. Once you have said yes to the right venue, it’s time to start looking at wedding color palettes for wedding party attire and decor.

Attire & Decor Color Schemes

Show off your style and tastes with a wedding color palette that tells the story of your romance. Get creative with how you use these wedding colors, incorporating them in bold ways, such as wedding party attire, or more subtle ways, such as candles on reception tables and accents in aisle decor.

A great way to figure out the look you’re going for is to work backward from the color scheme you want for your bridesmaids and groomsmen. To find out what’s trending for men, look through wedding magazines and tuxedo rental places, which feature wonderful colors like grey, lilac, and slate. For the women, try David’s Bridal’s lookbook of ideas, including muted yellow, blush pink, and moss.

Combining Wedding Color Schemes

Now, how do you pair them? We recommend incorporating a warm blush with a gentle grey if you’re looking for a more soft and playful wedding. If you’re looking for colors that will stand out more and give your wedding colors a deep contrast, pairing lilac and green is a great option. Finally, go with slate and moss to keep that classic wedding look but hold true to the spring season. Slate is similar to the classic wedding look of a black tuxedo, and moss looks earthy and natural. Use these wedding colors in save the date wedding invitations, flower arrangements, and table centerpieces to really bring it all together.

 Find a venue that can make the wedding you have dreamed of come to life. Use your personal style and trending seasonal colors to enhance the beautiful details of your wedding. Don’t stress—let all the details come together for your wedding day!
