Selecting Your Wedding Colors

Today’s newly-engaged lady isn’t restricted to any color scheme rules when it comes to her wedding attire, flower arrangements, stationary, cake or décor. For some brides a lack of restriction is a blessing; but for others, limitless, bold color options makes for a palette-decision standstill.

If you don’t have a go-to color scheme, take these steps to get on your dream wedding path. 

1. Consider your venue

Once you reserve your venue and date, your color selection becomes a lot easier. Don’t pick a fushia and lime combo to go with a red and navy carpet.

2. Try a hardware store

Pairing paint swatches is a free and helpful method to match up your perfect color combination! As an added bonus, hardware stores are fiancé friendly ;)

3. Pick a piece that inspires you

If a flower girl dress, piece of furniture, blouse, etc. strikes your fancy… run with it! You can build an entire look from any look of loveliness.

Happy planning from Bridalize!

Melissa + Allan = Married!

Working with Melissa and Allan was equally fun and hilarious- they share a sharp sense of humor, and an admirable love for each other and Melissa's daughter, Emmy.  

Straight from their wedding website, the story of how they got together- Love it!

About the bride

Melissa: Born in NY but raised in Florida. Met Allan while working as a Perma-Temp @ National Jewish Health, and ended up staying... with Allan. :)

About the groom

Allan: One of the rare Colorado Natives, spent several months not repairing a breaker problem in the records dept of the hospital as an excuse to come and see Melissa.

How we met

We met thanks very much to the over-zealous matchmaking attempts of our friend, (and Melissa's former co-worker) Vanessa, and a burnt-out porch light.

Ok, so we all know slate is one of this season's "it" colors.  Add pops of yellow and a splash of green, and this summery, fresh color palate has quickly become one of our favorites!  

Check out some of the best shots from Melissa & Allan's June wedding (SO hard to choose, they were all fabulous!) from Krystal & Matt with Verve Studio:

Gorgeous!

Love the yellow shoes!

A touching Mother/Daughter moment.

LOVING the yellow socks!

This shot of the Evergreen Lake House is absolutely stunning!

Bridalize Vendor, Susan Chicovsky of Marriage Makers officiated a beautiful ceremony.  

The perfect backdrop for "I do".

Love the DIY details!

Great expressions!

DJ Jeff, from ROCKCANDY Professional Disc Jockeys, kept the crowd dancing all night long and even had time to get a little crazy in the photo booth!

Bridalize took a break and mugged for the camera too :)

So cute!

CONGRATULATIONS Mr. & Mrs. Colabello!  Thank you for letting us share in your day.  It was a beautiful wedding and the perfect start for your Happily Ever After.  We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness together!  Cheers!
