Archive for the ‘Yellow’ Category

Chances are, if you are planning a spring or summer wedding, yellow may have crossed your mind for your main colors. However, it’s sometimes tough to find a second color when it comes to yellow, because it’s such a bold color as it is. You may even be worried about the black tuxes making your yellow dresses look like a giant bumble-bee wedding. Well just like any colors, if you play your cards right, the color scheme will make your wedding party sparkle almost as much as you.

When it comes to yellow, you have two main options for yellow wedding cakes, dresses, flowers, decor and even wedding favors. There is the bright ‘mango’ or ‘daisy’ yellow or there is the subtle ’sunflower’ or ‘buttercup’ yellow. We’ve put together a couple different color scheme ideas for both yellows.

BRIGHT YELLOW
(Daisy)

LIGHT YELLOW
(Sunflower)

As you can see, the options are endless. There are plenty of colors out there, so don’t think that these are all you can come up with!

Use your ideal flowers as your inspiration. Do you think that daisies would be a beautiful choice for your bouquets? Then maybe opt for the colors you see in a daisy to really make it all work together. This is where the different shades of green may be a great contribution to your color pallet. Sometimes a bright color mixed with another bright color can be a bit much, so make sure you are seeing the whole picture when putting together all of your wedding details.

Here’s an example of how you can make the colors play together  nicely:

Overall, yellow is a gorgeous color for any seasoned wedding. When it comes to unique touches, all you need is a little creativity and a passion for making your wedding look great! There’s no doubt you can make it work, and love your photos for years to come.

Have you or a friend used yellow as a color in your/their wedding? How did you like it? Post your comments, we’d love to hear about it!

Calling all modern brides! This fresh and cheerful color scheme should be right up your alley. The traditional black and white color scheme can be brought into the 21st century by pairing it with bright sunny yellow accents. I absolutely love this color scheme for spring and summer weddings!

If you’ve been a Here Comes The Blog follower, you know that I’m all about the dessert so I went on a quest to find my favorite black and white wedding cakes that featured bold yellow accents. What I found was a fantastic mix of both traditional and modern wedding cakes that I wanted to share with you. Check out the collection of cake ideas below.  Notice how black and white is used as the primary color scheme, but all of the cakes utilize bright yellow dots, colorful daisies, yellow roses, or yellow icing patterns to create this amazing array of images.  I believe that sunflowers with a dark black center would also be a fantastic accent flower choice for this color scheme.  If you love any of these cake designs, be sure to print out the photo and take it along to your wedding cake designer so they can get a feel for your style and color preferences.
