Wedding Color Trends For 2008
Color trends for weddings are continually changing. Each spring designers preview what color or colors they think will be the hot trend for the following year. Fashionistas look to Paris for the latest wedding trends and some of these styles transcend to America, while others just stay as a runway classic that is too bold for the American white aisle. The wedding color trend for 2008 will bring a fashionable new color scheme with jewel tones and classic whites for brides to select from.
Although the repeated color for wedding gowns in Paris has been black for 2008. American brides are embracing white. Thus, we look forward classic white weddings or we turn towards old Hollywood and the black and white wedding combination. Simple, yet sophisticated, this theme is fairly simple to plan. Use white tablecloths, black napkins, black dishes... or reverse this if possible and isn't too expensive (black tablecloth, white napkins, white plates). For the napkins, have your names and wedding date printed in the opposite color. Accent the settings with a colored foil-wrapped chocolate rose or a rose candle across the plates or use colored napkin rings (for cloth napkins). Black favor boxes embellished with white satin ribbons will be popular. Black tuxedo favor boxes along with white bride favor boxes 9 bride and groom favor boxes) will also make a big come back. Looking towards color however, brides will be selecting softer colors that coordinate with white.
Yellow was all over the runways this past spring, and definitely the in color for weddings. This is great news for brides because yellow is a warm color and brings feelings happiness. Pale yellows are great for spring weddings, lemon yellows give a citrus punch to summer weddings and deep mustards are beautiful for fall and winter weddings. In the spring lots of gingham and lemon yellow will be combined with matte silver. Wedding reception tables will be highlighted with silver and silver wedding favors will once again be a hit with this wedding color trend. It is predicted that the chrome heart bottle stopper favor will once again be very popular for 2008 wedding favors. Along with this trend will be the silver Jordan almonds and the white bon bon favor boxes. Calla Lily themed favors that coordinate with the yellow tones will also be popular for 2008 wedding themes.
Chocolate Brown is also a color which has been and will continue to be popular next year. To go with a monochromatic theme select taupe, gold and brown together for an elegant feeling. Chocolate brown is also a neutral color which pairs nicely with both yellow and orange. Brown favor boxes will once again be in demand. However brides looking for change will select the silver color instead to coordinate with the pale yellow or the jewel tones.
Jewel tones are predicted to be big for wedding in 2008. Rich purples, emerald green, and royal red will be popular. Opulence is a trend for 2008 and with this will be wedding favors of a more elegant and royal nature. Bejeweled favor bags filled with Jordan Almonds or candy will be popular.
Keep in mind that if you draw your color inspiration from nature, and the season you are marrying in, your wedding will be beautiful. Colors drawn from nature are always fashionable, yet timeless. Ultimately, the color you select for your wedding should be something you are comfortable with. Select colors you will be able to enjoy in your photographs for years to come.
