When you're styling the wedding, have a trick from an inside decorator. Interior designers often select a color palette of neutrals since it gives an ideal backdrop. They then add pops of colour with accessories like cushions, curtains and rugs.

You can have a leaf out of their book when you are creating the wedding colors and judge nudes and neutrals.

Neutrals Form A Perfect Color Palette

"Hmm" it may seem. "But neutrals - aren't they just a little dull and unadventurous?"

Well hardly. What you need to do is think about neutrals like a base that you can be as subtle or as attention-grabbing as you would like.

Just hear and find out how real bride Johanna B styled her day in neutrals with wedding dresses ...

"I wanted my bridesmaids inside a neutral color with a few sparkle so I customized these dresses, deciding on the topaz color with oyster lace overlay. This made the flowers POP! My MOH sports the strapless Dessy 2865. And that's my bridesman standing around!" - Johanna B.

That's a genuine wedding that's beautiful and memorable.

The trick is by using pops of color with neutrals.

Here bride Johanna has chosen colorful bouquets on her maids to include a feature. You could follow her lead, or choose colorful shoes for the bridesmaids (or they may be in metallics of bronze, silver or gold).

Neutral Shades

There are lots of different shades of neutrals to select from - plus they all merge well together. Here are some colors to become thinking about.

It's an ideal example of whenever you don't have to choose only one color but could opt for several. And that provides you with the opportunity to select hues that will suit your individual bridesmaids' complexions and hair coloring.

Add color accents with dusty blue bridesmaid dresses, clutch bags, perhaps a pashmina and hair accessories. Diamante and rhinestones often fully trust neutrals, so consider shoes and bags with sparkly detail.

This color theme works all year round - spring, summer and winter - possibly not autumn a lot. But that's another story ...
