It can be daunting to figure out a color scheme and accent tones, even if you have a favorite color.  What weddings have you been to that had a palette you enjoyed? If you’re already married, what color scheme did you use in your wedding? Did you figure it out using a web-based service?  The web has plenty of sites dedicated to helping brides, grooms, and wedding planners work out a color scenario that works.  Get advice from experts with experience in color matching and trend identification.  Check out the list below if you’re drawing a blank.

Even so, their slick palette-picker makes it easy to choose primary colors and accents.

    Hi
    I’m having a hard time finding the perfect colors for my wedding, we don’t have an specific date yet, but we want to do it by autumn… The situation is that it won’t be a traditional wedding where I will have a white dress, my wedding dress will be red and black and it will be kind of a gothic wedding but not too gothic nor too untraditional where we scare off the guests… I would like to know what other colors I could use for the wedding (bridesmaids, flowers, my bouquet etc…) Please I need heeelp!!!

    I am having a similar theme to my wedding. I have found that a charcoal grey, black, and gold or silver seem to go well with a red and black dress. Best wishes.
