Color schemes are important in deciding a color palette for your wedding invitations, flowers, bridesmaid dresses and bridal shower decorations among other wedding decorations. You do not need to have all colors in a color scheme represented in each of those items.

One important thing to remember is if you choose a dominant color that you feel looks great on you and build from that, you can be guaranteed you will dazzle. Everything around you will complement your skin tone.

Color inspirations

There is a range of unique color combinations you can use for your summer wedding. You can use these color ideas to draw inspiration.

Poolside

Such color combos would include blue and white; turquoise and white; yellow and blue and various shades of blue. All these color combinations would provide perfect color ideas even if your wedding is nowhere near water.
