Colors To Avoid For A Wedding

Colors to avoid for a wedding (im not going to post up any more then this picture because obviously it will offend many...Sorry if your wedding color was yellow. 

In my 10 years of DJing iv seen it all from Canary Yellow to florescence Green and Pink at the head table and through the room. Nowadays just about anything goes for weddings, there are still a few matters of taste that ought to be addressed. For one, the wedding colors. No longer are brides expected to adorn themselves,

COLORS THAT OPPOSE THE SEASON

Hot pink and orange look gorgeous for an outdoor, daytime wedding in the summertime, but make little sense indoors at night in February. Try to coordinate your colors – at least the shades of them – with what meshes with the time of year.

COLORS THAT CLASH

If you are unsure, consult with an artist or decorator and see if your desired colors go well together. Clashing colors are photographic disasters waiting to happen. This means no puce allowed.

MOST EARTH TONES

They look lovely in some situations, but soil brown and clay red do not necessarily say “wedding” except in certain venues. You are better off taking the opportunity to choose less “natural” colors.

TOO MUCH WHITE

Yes, white is for weddings, but having a white wedding without at least a light accent color – even silver would work – puts you at risk of hosting your wedding in what looks like an enormous marshmallow. When throwing a white wedding, be sure to add some contrast, even if it is subtle. This rule applies to all colors, really, but especially to something as glaringly bright as white. Which brings me to my next thing to avoid…

EXTREMELY BRIGHT COLORS

This is not the time for highlighter yellow and traffic cone orange – save those for a blacklight party. Even if you are throwing a casual dance party as your reception, choose shades that are a little below neon lest you make guests dizzy.

Your wedding colors can be one of the things that make your wedding memorable, so use some care when choosing them. It is a good idea to run ideas by a few people of varying taste to make sure you are not making any aesthetic missteps – the last thing you want people to remember are the ugly colors at a wedding. Avoid any major mistakes by following the advice in this guide and taking the path of elegance!

We hope you take this advice into mind when booking your wedding DJ.

bridesmaids, and venues in white and pastels, but there are still some colors that should probably, for the sake of attractiveness and good sense, be avoided. If you aren’t totally clear on what these might be, here is a brief guide to clarify what I mean.
