The Meanings of Colors in Weddings

I found this website, and because people always ask me what my colors are, I thought this was pretty interesting. This is what Blake Kritzberg states about colors in weddings. Also, it was way too long so I cut out some of (what I deemed to be) the unnecessary comments.

Diamond White: Ever since Queen Victoria, bright diamond-white has enjoyed strong associations with purity and the privileged, but these days, white may have (a lot) more to do with modernity.

Ivory: Ivory is elegant, old-world and soft-spoken. Ivory speaks of hand-polished silver and ironed linen.

Champagne: Refined and traditional, rich and conservative. A gentle look with a slightly vintage feel.

Lavender: Soft, dainty, and ladylike, it often appears in weddings that hark to the past, with traditional-looking cakes and florals.

Pale Pink: The lighter shades of pink speak to happiness, playfulness, and a sense of fun, not to mention a special fondness for love's super-sweet early years.

Hot Pink: Energized, "girl power" hue with an almost-punk edge. Think Gwen Stefani, and as possible accents, black, brown, or vibrant green.

Red: Passionate, dramatic, and dripping with desire. Often paired with crisp white and black in classic patterns. It probably means you are a chocolates and champagne kind of girl and that he better not forget your first anniversary.

Coral: In weddings, this color often has an Indie vibe. Common pairings include coral and rust, coral and teal, or coral with chocolate brown, pink, or yellow.

Yellow: Optimism, cheerfulness, a strong appreciation for friendship. Yellow is 100% angst-free.

Gold: Lavishness, luxury, warmth, tradition.

Aqua: Fun-loving, fresh, and vibrant. Common for beach weddings and paired with chocolate brown or pink.

Royal Blue: Grand, traditional, and casting an eye toward an idealized past. Evokes ballrooms, Cinderella stories, and happily-ever-after. Often combined with a paler blue, yellow, or gold.

Navy This ultra-classic color signals a preppy wedding. Often paired with mint green or dusty orange, and loads of crisp white, this color puts tradition first.

Purple: Purple has strong, historical association with royalty but has transformed to become challenging and mysterious, glamorous and grown-up, especially when paired with charcoal or black.

Silver: Restrained wealth, glamour, and sophistication.

Gray: Modern, understated, retro-informed, and sleek.

Chocolate Brown: The cornerstone to most of the modern palettes: brown with pink or aqua,  coral, mint green, or purple.

Green: In weddings, green reveals modern sensibility and often comes with inventive, non-traditional florals.

Black: Sophisticated, mysterious, assertive, or even nostalgic, black appears when couples have strong opinions about design.
