Popular Wedding Colors for 2009


In the last few years in wedding fashion, we have seen pinks and browns, as well as contrasts of black and white. Wedding color trends are changing and they are fresh and new!

Grey is the new Brown

Grey is going to enter the wedding scene with a vengeance as the new neutral of choice - replacing brown. Grey will fit well with the prediction that bright bold colors will be hot all year long. Combining the muted grey shades with contrasting bright colors will give you great color combination that is classic yet bold.

The key will be for you to use the brighter colors in your accessories, such as the bridesmaid jewelry, sticking with the grey for the dresses. Add those brighter hues as a splash of color rather than the main color, giving you just the right touch of color without seeming overwhelming.



Classic Pink

Pink has always been a classic on the wedding scene and that is not changing. Pink is so versatile, it can be used as a neutral tone. It ranges from pale pastel to screaming neon. Hot pink is predicted to be the most popular this year. As you have seen in the past with brown, pair pink up with a dusty gray to give you a balanced color palette.



Purple Please!

Another up and coming color for 2009 is purple. Change the grey to a silver shade and add in an accenting purple shade for a cool, royal combination. Different shades of purple can be added into the bridesmaid jewelry along with sterling silver for lots of glitter. This is a great choice for an early spring or fantasy theme wedding.

Colors of the Sun

Some other fun colors on the scene for 2009 are bright oranges and yellows. Orange and peach are slated to be a popular wedding scheme. Orange is a color that can be used on everything from bridesmaid dresses to flowers to table decorations, giving you a warm and welcoming feel. So if you have a summer wedding or even a beach wedding, orance, peach and yellow are great choices.



Once you have decided on the colors for your wedding, you are ready to start shopping for your bridesmaid dresses, bridesmaid jewelry and other bridal accessories.
