PW Guide Article: What Your Wedding Colors Say About You

Purple: Often associated with both royalty and luxury, purple is a passionate color. Choosing purple symbolizes dignity, tolerance and value. Violet lovers tend to be unconventional and observant, with a multifaceted personality. Tolerant and witty, purple devotees are likely to achieve authoritative positions. From light lavender and lilac buffs, who tend to be charming, witty and cultured, to deep eggplant lovers, who are creative and talented, purple can be provocative or sweet.

Yellow: The color of a sunny day, yellow denotes happiness and hope. Exuding warmth and vitality and usually possessing a great sense of humor, people who love yellow have cheerful spirits and optimistic values. You tend to look forward to the future and are intellectual, creative and idealistic. Yellow represents enlightenment and spirituality, lending itself as a great color on your day of matrimony.

That's pretty fitting, actually, although I do wish it said something about grey.  Then when you throw the black in there... it's just about perfect. 

My colors are Peridot, Truffle and Cream. The 3 of them together is perfect for my September wedding. Our reception hall is going to be decorated with cream tablecloths, truffle overlays and peridot napkins. For our cake, we decided to go with something different. We are having a marble cake, but instead of the yellow marbling, we decided on green food coloring, which will match our colors exactly. There will be a "French Door" backdrop, and draping throught the hall. We decided to bring the Autumn feel in by having an arbor, draped with fall leaves, and lights. We are decorating it all on our own, with a little help from the person we are renting our stuff from. And, in my my opinion, my day will be perfect.

Well, we are using coral and espresso (supremely dark brown).... so would that be considered a girly pink or a bold orange?? hahahaha  Either way, it's very "me".  :)

blue, green, purple. the way those colors are described above sound like my fiance and me

What does Gold say about me? i plan on using that colour but also with some addition of white and brown.

Black: A conservative choice, black complements almost any color, especially lighter hues. Dignified and mysterious, black denotes sexiness and sophistication with a modern twist. Black is classic, never trendy, alluding to a modern bride. As an opulent choice, black is timelessly elegant. 

White: Symbolic of purity and innocence, white has strong connotations of youth and perfection. White aficionados seek excellence and enlightenment, as simplicity and recognition are constant ventures. White is a glorious hue (or lack thereof) that denotes a clean palette or fresh start for those who seek serenity and peace.

Red: A passionate, romantic choice, red is impulsive and outgoing. Depicted as zealous and ambitious, red symbolizes love and rage. Whether it denotes joy, celebration, happiness or prosperity, red elicits a dramatic response from both sides of the emotional spectrum. Red lovers tend to be restless and optimistic and go along with people with uncomplicated natures. A powerful selection, red is sure to represent a fiery hostess with 'look at me' flair.

YAAAY..........SOUNDS GOOD TO ME........
