Choosing an effective wedding color palette is about more than just making your wedding and reception look pretty. The right wedding color palette can set the mood, atmosphere and style of your wedding and reception.
So where do you begin? David Tutera, host of My Fair Wedding, gave Bridal Guide magazine his favorite wedding color palettes. See below for a small taste, or click here to read the full list.
Blue
David Tutera said, “Everyone knows my favorite color is blue. It’s the color of my brand, it’s soothing, calming and it of course fits in with ‘something blue’ which should definitely be in your wedding. Think about infusing blue with multiple shades of this hue, along with white and silver or pewter (but not both).”

Diamond White
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend! According to David Tutera, “A modern color scheme is pure diamond white across the board — literally just one color. If you wish, sprinkle in some accent colors, which could be metallic (no gold) and one strong color (e.g. purple, red, cobalt blue) — or simply a solid white paired with a metallic.”
Purple
David Tutera said, “My favorite color trend for 2013-2014 is purples and lavenders. You can go from as deep as a quartz purple, which is a very deep, regal purple, to a traditional purple and a third tone of lavender or lilac. If you wanted to add an accent color, make it silver — I do not like gold paired with purples. Silver is a more classic, elegant choice.”
