How to Plan a Stunning Monochromatic Wedding

The colors you choose for your wedding day are quite important, they will set the mood and help you create an amazing atmosphere for one of the most unforgettable events of your life.  But what if you don’t want to combine too many colors? Can you pull off a monochromatic wedding color scheme without it feeling too flat?

Well, we have great news for you: with the right techniques, monochromatic color palettes can be stunning.

A monochromatic wedding is a special, unexpected choice and is still on-trend. There are a lot of color schemes that have way too much going on. With the right mindset, you can create a monochromatic wedding color scheme that will celebrate your love story without stealing the show.

 Here’s how to pull off an amazing monochromatic wedding:

 

  • Use escort cards as a pop of color. These little accessories are one of the best ways to add a dash of color to your wedding – they can go against the general scheme without feeling out of place, and they can provide a bit of liveliness and sweetness. For instance, if you are having a yellow-based wedding and the floral arrangements are shades of different yellows, you can opt for navy escort cards with white ink because they will contrast beautifully with the rest of the décor. 
  • Layer!  Don’t cover everything at your ceremony and reception with one color. Incorporate a lot of similarly-toned neutrals and textures to keep it from becoming visually overwhelming.  We promise this will help balance and elevate your design. 
  •  Have fun with your florals.  If you are keeping your décor relatively neutral, this is a great way to add a fun pop without overwhelming your décor.  Stick with your color theme, but don’t be afraid to enlist the help of your florist to suggest other flowers that would compliment and liven your arrangements. 

 No matter what you do, and regardless of whether you decide on a monochromatic wedding or not, be sure your wedding décor reflects you and who you are. This is such an important moment in your life – celebrate it by mirroring your love story in every inch of the décor!
