Yellow wedding: choosing a shade
Extravagant yellow can surprise you with its variety of shades and confuse you when choosing a specific color. Below are the colors that are ideal for a themed wedding:
- Canary. The most unusual color that goes well with classic white or ivory.
- Pastel yellow. Will give the celebration tenderness and romance. Combines beautifully with natural earth tones.
- Corn. The color is rich and deeper than others. Accents of green or beige shades will help to highlight it advantageously. Contrasting details can also be made in maize blue tones.
- Mustard. This shade is intended for autumn themed weddings. Mustard looks most festive with wine and chocolate tones.
Gray wedding dress
Gray is the natural color of some metals and stones. But it also has some negative associations with weather and boredom. Gray is also a combination of black (mourning) and white (peace), which harmoniously balance each other.
Historically, the gray wedding dress was worn by lower-class girls because it was very practical and could be worn later for Sunday church. This color was considered respectable. In the 18th century, gray became associated with maids, as it was the discreet gray dresses that employers provided to their female employees.
Despite all of the above, a gray wedding dress can be stunningly beautiful, especially when experienced designers have worked on its creation. Take a look, for example, at these two dresses designed by Elie Saab and Ramona Quevesa.
Regardless of the symbolism associated with color, do not forget that a wedding is yours and only your holiday. And what color your dress will be is completely unimportant as long as you feel comfortable in it. After all, the main thing is that the bride is happy!
How to combine yellow with other shades
If you have chosen such a bright color, then keep in mind that there should not be a lot of it. A busy wedding can leave your party guests exhausted. Combinations of other colors and shades with yellow will help you create a harmonious celebration.
Delicate and natural combinations are white or light green-yellow. It is better to decorate a wedding celebration in Western or country style in mustard-yellow shades. Brown accents also go well with them. A more impressive and contrasting design can be conveyed in yellow-pink or yellow-blue colors.

Yellow wedding: decoration
Shades of yellow are recommended for spring or summer ceremonies. The main emphasis for weddings of this period should be on floral decoration. Stop your eyes on the restaurants that are located along the coast of the lake, sea or river. You can arrange on-site registration and a banquet right in the open air in tents.
It is best if the furniture in the room is white, just like the tablecloths on the tables. Yellow accents can be added in the form of napkins, textile draperies, vases with flowers or lemons. On the tables you can place compositions with lemon rose petals or wooden figurines.
Flower bouquets will look harmonious if you use:
- Sunflowers.
- Mimosas.
- Shrub roses.
- Crocuses.
- Plumeria.
However, wildflowers should not be written off at all. Chamomiles, daffodils and cornflowers will give the holiday additional warmth and comfort.
Remember that yellow weddings can be combined with a retro or western theme. The current color scheme for their design will be sandy yellow.
Blue wedding dress
Blue is the coolest and calmest of all colors. It is strongly associated with heaven and is popular in many religions. Since it is also the color of the sea, it is also associated with freshness and purity.
In Roman mythology, blue was associated with the gods Venus and Jupiter. In Christianity, this color became a symbol of purity, devotion and eternal love and was associated with the Virgin Mary. Brides who chose a blue wedding dress believed that their husbands would always be faithful to them. And even if the dress itself was a different color, they always wore something blue. This tradition is still popular in Western culture.
Yellow dress for a wedding
A bright and playful bride in a sunny yellow dress will captivate all guests of the event. A young girl should choose a shade in such a way as to highlight the beauty of her face and hair. Most often, bright lemon shades are used in short, fluffy dresses in the “baby-doll” style. The newlywed looks very feminine in this outfit.
It is not necessary to wear this color completely at a yellow wedding. A classic white dress with colored decorative elements will be enough. These can be satin ribbons on a belt or corset, a veil or a bouquet. If there are no such accents, then the image of the newlywed will simply fall out of the theme of the wedding celebration.
Bridesmaids can also choose their outfits in one yellow color and play with its tones. They will look very bright against the background of your future wife in a white dress of a classic style.
Newlyweds' outfits
Despite the fact that the main color of the special event has been chosen, you should not wear suits and dresses exclusively in it. All shades of yellow are considered full-fledged, as well as self-sufficient, and it is better to use them for placing accents. Interesting options for their arrangement:
- dress the bridesmaids in dresses made in the main color of the special event. The main thing is that they are all the same shade, but the style and cut can be varied. It is better for the hero of the occasion to wear a classic snow-white dress, but add yellow accents;
- accessories in the outfit. For example, the bride can wear sandals or shoes in a bright sunny shade. The groom, in turn, can choose a boutonniere or tie for himself in this tone. As a decoration, you can add bobby pins with delicate yellow beads to the bride’s hair as a decoration; today there are many of them on the market. In addition, a hairpin designed in the shape of a beautiful yellow flower will look advantageous. A veil in a delicate color of the main color of the special event will look beautiful and elegant;
- lemon decorations or light yellow amber framed in gold look presentable and luxurious. In addition, if there are no precious stones, then you should choose bracelets and necklaces made of bright and large beads.
- bold brides can choose a wedding dress in shades of yellow. She will certainly be able to surprise the guests and the groom.
Wedding in the style of Love is (Love from)
Yellow wedding: groom's suit
Only the bravest representatives of the stronger sex will be able to undertake such an unusual experiment and dress in a canary-colored suit. If this is your case, then you should choose a light beige or classic white shirt for your suit. You can make your look more naughty with suspenders.
Conservative grooms should give preference to a light suit. You can complement the style with bright yellow accents in the form of a butterfly, neckerchief or boutonniere.
Green wedding dress
Green is the color of plants, grass, nature and everything related to health and growth.
However, in the history of wedding dresses, green was one of the unpopular colors. It was considered the color of fairies and people believed that calling small people in this way for their holiday promised bad luck. In addition, it was believed that if the bride wore a green wedding dress, then the rain would probably ruin the holiday.
If you are not superstitious and don't care that green, among other things, is also associated with envy and inexperience, then you will have one of the most unconventional wedding dresses. However, we do not recommend choosing a rich shade (it will give your face a sallow look); it is better to give preference to a softer mint shade.
Yellow wedding bouquet
You can get creative with wedding floristry. The most important rule here is the harmonious combination of the bouquet with the wedding dress. Contrasting irises, bright tulips, hydrangeas and freesias look very beautiful with yellow. No less appropriate would be a composition made up of lemon bush or small roses in the classic shape of a ball.
Please note that the bouquet should not be created exclusively from yellow flowers. Add shades of pink and white. The combination of blue and yellow, as well as the orange-yellow palette, looks most advantageous.
Red wedding dress
Red is a very powerful color. It symbolizes danger, anger and violence through its association with fire and blood. However, in Latin American culture it is also closely associated with matters of the heart, love and passion.
In the Victorian era in Europe, red wedding dresses were unofficially banned, since this color was mainly worn by girls of easy virtue. Nowadays, quite a few famous designers present outfits of this shade in their collections. For example, the photo shows a dress from the Oscar de la Renta collection.
Yellow wedding: accessories
You can complete the overall picture of the event by using color accents in your wedding decoration. Remember that wedding invitations, bonbonnieres, seating cards and other elements must be chosen in yellow. It’s easy to add a positive mood to the celebration, just add bright balloons with cheerful smiley faces or hang rich yellow umbrellas from the ceiling.
An autumn wedding can be complemented with accessories in mustard, wine or brown tones.
