Wedding colors/ themes

Erin, on February 8, 2021 at 23:05 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 12
Hello everyone,

I have a quick question for you.
My SO and I have decided on our main colors being red and white but we are battling with choosing an accent color. We were thinking of either rose gold or lavender as the accent color, now keep in mind we are doing a vintage-modern mash up as the theme. What would you suggest as the accent?

    Rose gold metallic seems to be the popular vote to go with your vintage-modern theme. The colour coordination looks good as it adds the shiny aspect to the neutral and bright solid red. It does look good of a combination.

    Tania,
    Thank you so much love it seems that rose gold is the popular vote haha which is funny because that was the color that my F.H/S.O picked however we were not sure how it would look and we even debated on the rose gold as centerpieces and lavender place settings (napkins and such) but we didn't know how that would look either so we scraped it and asked for help on here. Thank you so much for your help!!!!

    It really depends on your shade of red.. Either could work it done absolutely spot on but there’s so much room for screwups if things are even slightly off it could make your wedding really clash. Definitely build colour swatches! We based the shade of orange in our wedding off the swatches of lavender. Orange and lavender definitely doesn’t normally look good together but it goes really nicely with the palette we made. I think your lavender or rose gold could potentially work

    I would go with rose gold. This would compliment the red and white better 😌

    Rose gold would bring out the vintage aspect since it's a metallic colour.

    I would go with rose gold. I think it will complement the red and act as a neutral. Lavender will compete with the red and I think they could easily clash.
