Wedding Color Palette: What is it and Why You Need One
A good color palette is the foundation of any beautiful wedding. They are a foundational and essential element on every wedding mood board. You can read more about those here. They help guide the direction of the decor elements that you choose for your wedding.
A common misconception is that you have to use the exact colors that you put on your palette. It’ is definitely ok to go a shade of two off from your color palette. After all, your wedding guests don’t know how it’s supposed to look.
I created a few examples of color palettes. Feel free to use these exact ones or use them as inspiration! I always like to write a few words that describe the photo where I gathered the colors. I included the HEX numbers for all the colors I used. They are in order from left to right or top to bottom
