Yellow wedding, how to decorate and organize it

By decorating your wedding in yellow, you illuminate it with sunlight. And this is so important - to start family life with bright, positive shades.

“Yellow is the color of separation,” you say. Not at all. The sign that a bouquet of yellow flowers portends jealousy, betrayal and separation came to us from Europe.

Meanwhile, in Russia this color meant wealth and joy. Yellow bouquets were given to people for whom these blessings were sincerely wished. In Japan and China, yellow flowers are generally very popular; they are given to influential, powerful people.

According to another sign, people who like yellow are calm and balanced. This color fills the soul with cheerfulness and saves you from stress. At a wedding, yellow color is associated with an unbreakable marriage.

Therefore, throw away your prejudices and start organizing a sunny wedding. A celebration in yellow will be joyful, light and cheerful.

Palette

Yellow is quite easy to combine. Use this and choose the color tandem that is most attractive to you.

Spring and summer weddings look stunning when paired with lemon yellow and natural greenery. And immediately the memory draws warm pictures - sunny dandelions on the spring grass, a field with sunflowers, a bouquet of daisies and cornflowers.

An autumn wedding is saffron shades of yellow in harmony with terracotta and deep warm green. A yellow-orange wedding is good for fall.

A wedding in yellow-mint color or in tandem with aristocratic gray is associated with winter.

Catchy and effective solutions are yellow and blue or purple. More delicate combinations are obtained with lilac and light blue. A wedding in yellow and turquoise looks stylish. Yellow and black look very extravagant. A wedding in white and yellow, on the contrary, gives the wedding a classic touch.

As you can see, there are plenty of options. Choose the one you like and don't be afraid to experiment.

The blue and yellow wedding in the photo above is an example of excellent decoration. You can take it as an example.

Natural greenery will highlight a yellow wedding most effectively. This is another factor in favor of the fact that it is better to hold such a colored wedding in the summer. Lush foliage and smooth emerald grass of the lawn are an excellent natural contrast. You can dilute the yellow-green tandem with rich blue or soft blue. This could include wedding table settings, light fabrics, draping gazebos and canopies. If your wedding has the “look and feel” of a picnic, complement the rich yellow with red and white checks and wicker baskets. Decorated with satin yellow ribbons, as well as rocking chairs, with cozy yellow and blue blankets that will come in handy on a cool summer evening.

Rich yellow goes well with ash gray. The wedding website www.svadebka.ws advises to take this detail into account, especially when arranging an indoor wedding reception. Gray columns entwined with garlands of yellow flowers will look elegant and, at the same time, not boring. Forged furniture decorated with fresh lemon-colored flowers will add sophistication to the decor.

Decorating invitations

Charge your guests with positivity even at the wedding invitation stage. For a wedding in yellow, the cards can be designed in the form of the sun, decorating them with cute yellow details.

If the background is white, decorate it with yellow lace, lace or other artificial flowers of different sizes, tie it with a bright ribbon, and decorate it with a bow. You don't have to use only two colors; you can add other accents.

Light yellow cards at the base, decorated with white decorative elements, look beautiful and gentle.

Roll the invitation sheet into a tube and tie it with a yellow ribbon - this message looks elegant and unconventional.

You can even base the idea on lemon and depict these bright fruits on postcards. Scent your invitations with citrus - then they will definitely not forget about the upcoming celebration.

Color combinations

We have already discussed some color combinations above in this article. Let's look at other combinations.

The yellow-violet palette is perfect for a winter wedding, when there is not enough sun and warmth. The purple color will add mystery and extravagance.

Country chic is another type of yellow and purple wedding.

A yellow and pink wedding is suitable for true romantics. You can play up the colors with ribbons and garlands or vases with petals, and even with homemade drinks.

A red and yellow wedding is not the most common combination, which will allow you to be even more original.

A blue and yellow wedding is beautiful and especially memorable. When supplemented with anchors and ropes, it easily turns into a sea boat. If the anchors are replaced with sheaves of wheat, then it will be a delightful autumn wedding.

A yellow-orange wedding will charge everyone with joy and positivity, and at almost any time of the year.

Decorating the space

The “yellow” holiday will sparkle in all shades on the open street area. Therefore, if you are having a wedding in the summer or warm spring, opt for a forest lawn (especially suitable for an eco- or rustic-style wedding) or a beautiful garden.

Just imagine: on a green grassy field in the canopy of trees there is a golden wedding tent. Tables covered with white tablecloths are richly decorated with yellow sunny bouquets. The newlyweds are photographed against the backdrop of a beautiful arch of summer flowers. Guests sip refreshing lemonades garnished with a sprig of mint. You can barely hear the sound of a stream cutting through the depths of the forest...

All these lyrics can easily be translated into reality by choosing a good place for your wedding celebration.

Decorating a wedding hall in yellow looks aesthetically pleasing and attractive. The walls of the hall can be draped with light textiles and decorated with floral arrangements and garlands of balloons.

The wedding decoration in yellow in the photo below is a good example of a combination of different elements.

Decide how yellow your room will be: flooded with “sunlight” or using brightness only for emphasis. Based on this, choose tablecloths - light (neutral) or yellow. If the wedding is yellow, the accessories can be plain light or any other harmonious shade (if you use another color in addition to the main one).

Be sure to decorate the tables with flower arrangements.

Small bouquets or wreaths of dandelions, daisies in combination with other wildflowers (for example, bells or cornflowers), and decorative sunflowers are well suited for summer.

Gerberas, tulips, roses, callas, and daffodils will fit perfectly into the chosen style. Combine yellow flowers with white, blue, purple (to your taste), add greenery to the bouquet. In the fall, you can create beautiful arrangements of foliage with added flowers (like gerberas) in rich saffron and terracotta tones.

The room will be decorated with candy bowls with bright candies and baskets of lemons placed on the tables.

The dishes are suitable with a bright ornament or plain in the selected palette.

Organize a candy bar in the hall. Treat your guests to marmalade, lemon cakes and cupcakes, colorful lollipops, lemonade and other “sunny” desserts.

Amazing wedding accessories

For the official part of the wedding event, a ring cushion in a bright and sophisticated amber color will be indispensable. It would not be superfluous to decorate it with the most delicate lace, fresh, attractive flowers, as well as beautiful ribbons. This element can emphasize the solemnity of the wedding ceremony. Champagne bottles can be decorated with elegant covers made of yellow satin and complemented with embroidery, beads, rhinestones, and lace. As a gift, guests can be presented with boxes of sweets tied with golden ribbons, as well as boutonnieres.

Main dessert – sun cake

Order either a completely yellow cake, or a white base decorated with yellow elements. These can be flowers or even flower garlands; large sunflowers will look especially impressive. A scattering of daisies will make the dessert light and summery.

Sweet lace will add tenderness and romance to it. The delicacy, decorated with sliced citrus fruits, looks “juicy” and appetizing. You can decorate the cake with geometric prints or polka dots. Choose any filling to suit your taste, but lemon will fit perfectly into the wedding concept.

Images of newlyweds

If the wedding is in yellow, the bride and groom should choose sunny outfits in shades of yellow.

Bride

So:

Dress and accessories. To begin with, the bride should decide on her own image - gentle and feminine or brighter and catchy. For the first option, choose a classic, light-colored dress. In style - fitted or fluffy, floor-length or slightly shorter. Let yellow serve as an accent in the form of edging, belt, inserts on a skirt or top, frills or lace. You can choose yellow shoes, gloves, a veil or hair decoration. If you want to look more vibrant, choose an all-yellow dress in a shade that suits you.
Decorations. For jewelry, choose precious or semi-precious stones that match the tone. For example, amber, yellow diamonds, sapphires, topazes, agates. Classic pearls will also work.
Bridal bouquet. Like the sun in your hands. Collect it from sunflowers, daisies in tandem with other wildflowers; roses, gerberas, callas, daffodils, asters, chrysanthemums, and tulips are suitable. There are many options, focus on the overall image and personal preferences.

The bouquet, in addition to yellow, may contain other bright or pastel colors. Add greenery to your floral arrangement.

Groom

Reflect the main color of the wedding in accessories - a yellow tie or bow tie, a neckerchief or pocket square, suspenders, cufflinks. If the wedding is in yellow, the groom can choose a yellow shirt. Socks in the color of the sun will look ironic.

Choose a suit that is not too dark. Gray, shades of blue, sand or other light colors go well with yellow. An all-yellow suit is appropriate for a dudes wedding.

Don't forget about the boutonniere - it should duplicate the bride's bouquet.

Guests

Let your guests highlight your wedding style with yellow accessories. Women - handbags, jewelry, belts, shoes. Floral bracelets or hair decorations that match the bride's bouquet will look delicate. Men can wear “sunny” ties or bow ties, cufflinks, and suspenders.

If the bride is wearing a white dress, her close friends can dress entirely in yellow outfits. The style of the bride in a sun-colored dress will be emphasized by her bridesmaids with the same accessories. A wedding cortege in yellow tones will look very colorful.

Let guests drive around in light-colored cars decorated with yellow flowers and ribbons. And the newlyweds can choose a bright “sunny” car for themselves. Retro cars look impressive in yellow.

Entertainment

The very color scheme of your celebration puts your guests in the mood for a cheerful wave. Let the wedding program be filled with music, dancing and lively competitions.

Organize a bride price in yellow. Decorate the place where the ceremony will take place with yellow balls, bright posters, ribbons and bows, and hang lemons on the trees. One of the tasks for the groom can be the ritual eating of lemon. Eating every slice, he should compliment his beloved without wincing, with a smile on his face.

You can also hold a “lemon” competition for guests. Competitors eat lemon while praising it. Whoever lasts longer wins the prize.

Create a “sunny” playlist. Songs about the sun can serve as the background for your celebration (K. Orbakaite “The Sun”, “Ray of the Golden Sun” from “The Bremen Town Musicians”, a children's song about the orange sun, A. Lorak “The Sun” and others).

In Russian culture, the sun and the associated color yellow symbolize life and happiness. Give your guests a themed quiz on their knowledge of “solar” culture - customs, legends and myths associated with the sun. Such a competition may require preliminary preparation.

Prepare a variety of yellow objects as symbolic gifts for competition participants. Handmade lemon soap, boxes of “Lemon Slices” marmalade, jars of yellow jam (sea buckthorn, lemon, yellow cherry, etc.), packages of colored candies.

Have a bubble show at your wedding. This beautiful and cheerful spectacle will delight all guests.

A photo shoot in yellow shades will be especially bright. Hold it on a forest lawn, in an abundance of greenery (if it is a summer wedding). As accessories, use yellow umbrellas, lemons, apples and apricots, fruit baskets, large yellow balloons in the form of smiley faces. And small yellow live chickens can become a feature of your shooting.

Photo shoot ideas

If the wedding is held in the summer, then the best photos will be taken on the lawn of a park or garden against the backdrop of green grass and trees. Yellow objects serve as a unique decor for the photo shoot:

umbrellas;
lemons;
apricots and peaches;
balloons with yellow ribbons.

The highlight of the photo shoot can be small, fluffy, pale yellow chickens on the green grass of the lawn.

For a winter photo shoot, a specially designated photo corner in the festive hall in yellow “sunny” cheerful shades with balloons, fresh flowers, flags and banners with wishes of happy well-being is perfect.

Summary

At sunset, release balloons into the sky with your guests. The wedding was a success, and it will definitely be remembered by everyone. And you will be delighted with bright photographs, shining with sunlight and sparkling with joy, for many years to come.

The color yellow is multifaceted and has excited the minds of sages and various interpreters for thousands of years. But don’t be afraid of it, now this sunny color is with you throughout life. He will certainly bring your family luck and wealth and will protect it from all troubles.
