Nothing says it’s going to be an unforgettable party like a space filled with chic colorful accents! Whether you’re dreaming of a garden blooming with a multitude of eye-catching hues, statement colorful dinnerware in a beautiful ballroom setting or festive lighting shimmering and dancing from the ceiling, color is key.
Want your welcome brunch, rehearsal dinner and reception to capture that same “je ne sais quoi?” Here are a few ideas for creating colorful memories...
EMBRACE AND UPDATE THE LATEST TRENDS
We love how colored smoke bombs have made their way into weddings as noted by Elite Daily via this link. Couples have updated the tradition of releasing doves during the ceremony by choosing instead to set off fun, colorful smoke bombs in their wedding colors. Some have even used them to create incredible couple shots! The glowing backdrops of intermixed hues provide a beautiful contrast to each bride’s dress, making her stand out even more.

Of course, backdrops aren’t the only place to add color to your special day...
DRESS UP YOUR PARTNER
As a modern twist to the classic tuxedo, more and more grooms have opted for Midnight Navy wedding suits. Feel free to dress up your husband-to-be and his groomsmen in a similar look with a black lapel for something unexpected and incredibly modern.
ADD SOPHISTICATED CHEER TO THE WEDDING PARTY
When in doubt, brighten up the flower arrangements. Not only will it highlight and enhance classic gray, black and white color palettes, but it will also ensure that your favorite wedding colors shine. Think bold bridesmaids bouquets and groomsmen’s boutonnieres, especially eye-catching against a black lapel on a navy suit…don’t be surprised if these gorgeous details end up on Instagram under the wedding hashtag.
ELEVATE YOUR LOOK
If you want something more understated, play up your favored hues in your jewelry throughout the wedding weekend. Opt for enchanting drop earrings, a charming brooch or a multi-colored bracelet. Each tint and hue adds an extra dimension to your look in a way that guests won’t soon forget. Select this link to view Jane’s blog feature on Bounkit (one of Jane’s very favorite jewelry designers) for more gorgeous inspiration à la the incredible Onyx Swan pin pictured above.
Remember, the wedding weekend will be filled with some of the happiest days of your life. Why not show it off with a little color? When you do, tag those stunning wedding photos with #JaneSummersFashion and we may just regram it.
White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown. Select this lovely little link to read an in-depth article featured in Brides that highlights the history of Queen Victoria’s choice to wear a white wedding dress.
Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
