Wedding Color Scheme – Black, White and Yellow

COLORS FOR THE BIG DAY – Black, White and Yellow

Choosing a color scheme is one of the first steps in planning a wedding. Whether you’re designing a fun and vibrant day or a feminine and sophisticated event, the color palette truly sets the tone. From the invitations to the bridesmaids dresses, the colors are carried out in pretty much every aspect of the wedding.

Black, white and yellow are dramatic yet simple when combined. The colors bring an edgy and trendy feel to any event and really pop against each other. Definitely a new favorite of mine, especially when black and white patterns are used against the yellow.

Destination Weddings

I just got back from a wonderful vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. On the plane ride home, I started thinking about the Destination important Destination factors to consider when planning a destination wedding.

1. Weather / Time of Year

Make sure that it is not the rainy or hurricane season, as this could really put a damper on your wedding! Check the calender as well to determine holiday weekends (local/regional too!) and spring break. Airline tickets and hotel rates will be priced to reflect availability and popularity during these times of year.

2. Ability of Guests to Travel / Travel Convenience

Think about your youngest and older guests when booking your venue. Determine if it is a destination wedding deal breaker if your Grandmother and two year old Niece cannot make the trip based on accommodations and or traveling distance. If so, consider getting married closer to home. Also, multiple flights, connecting between boats, trains and buses may be challenging for many, regardless of age.
