Originally written for stationery company's wedding blog. The blog was meant to be a one stop information resource for people involved in planning a wedding for themselves or a loved one. Blogs were often written and broken into parts by an editor to stretch post count. This post series in particular originally highlighted options for invitations the company sold to match the theme.
Yellow speaks to us as a color of happiness and calm. Sunshine warms the body mind and spirit. A color that tends to put us in such a good mood is a great choice for a color to use in your wedding. You will want to look back on this day for years to come and see joy and happiness in your faces.
Color combinations that look great with yellow are:
Gray: Yellow and gray is a color combination that seems to be emerging a lot lately. The great thing about these two colors together is that they each offer so much variety in their shades and tones. Mix bold mustards with soft dusty grays for a dramatic statement. Or try bright yellow gowns and bouquets tied off with silvery-gray satin ribbon for a gorgeous but subtle look.
Green: Such a bright uplifting color palette allows for lots of nature friendly inspiration including vibrant spring inspired floral displays. Use lemons and limes together as organic decor that really pops. These colors are so often together in nature try to really run with that theme when choosing this palette.
Black: This color offers the ultimate in beautiful contrasts. So of course it looks terrific with yellow. Especially bold, bright, can’t help but make you smile yellows! These two colors make a bold statement. Yellow and black damask designs throughout your wedding theme look gorgeous. Try cheery yellow bridesmaid gowns with black scarves for an early spring or late fall wedding.
Orange: Sunny days are here again for sure with this uplifting team. Whether you chose this combination because you are getting married in the middle of summer or just simply because you love bright colors this is a combo to surely pop. Keep up with the citrus theme and display mock orange and lemon trees as centerpieces or just as decor.
Blue: Yellow and blue is a great choice for a getaway wedding or a wedding that you want to feel like a getaway we can’t help but think of warm sunny places. Run wild with an island theme think of beautiful skies and white sandy beaches. Bold blue floral displays with sunshine yellow vases accompanied with matching table linens.
Your color palette comes into play everywhere you look. It is important to be consistent and to not forget anything. So be sure to focus on keeping your colors fluid throughout your invitations, flowers, decorations, and favors.
Invitations:
Our Destiny of Dreams Wedding Invitations are a beautiful modern wedding invitation where your names are the focal point of the design. With a splash of yellow with black ink this invitation is stunning. Or try our Rose Colorblock Wedding Invitations this two toned card really pops off the page and what a great way to show you are a fun-loving and colorful couple.
Flowers:
How could we not mention daisies? Gathered in bunches alone or with other flowers daisies are always a hit. Daffodils are another option or even the ever popular sunflower, which, by the way, comes in many sizes. You can find small ones and group them together or go with a large single flower tied off with ribbon.
Reception Decor:
Linens look gorgeous in any shade of yellow, especially if you are choosing a lighter shade such as a soft yellow. Or a bold but not bright yellow like last years favorite mustard. This would be quite an easy way to showcase your typically vibrant color choice without overpowering everyone’s eyes. If you have settled on sunshine yellow then it may be best to opt for your yellow to appear as the accent color.
Favors:
Yellow favors are bountiful especially in the spring. So many lovely things come in this beautiful color. Of course you could offer flower seeds. Or go with yellow cookies like macaroons stacked and wrapped in clear cellophane bags. Candies are always a big hit or try beautiful paper cones filled with candied pecans.
