My grandad passed a couple of years ago, his favourite colour was blue. So we've gone for a blue led colour scheme

I let my bridesmaids decide on what colour dresses they wanted and that is now the colour theme. Navy and ivory.

I saw some dresses for my flower girls which I loved which were light blue so chose that for my colour x

I couldn't decide, when I picked my dress it fell in place. My dress is blush with dusky rose sash so dusky rose and ivory is my theme. Think also time of year dictates. I'm getting married in November so paler colours I thought wouldn't be right. Xx

I picked my flowers first and then choose my colour. My fave flowers are sunflowers so I had all different shades of yellow x

I decided on a colour theme when we got engaged 2 years later the colour scheme sort of went out the window when I found bridesmaid dresses I loved

I didn’t really think about it, I knew I wanted a white dress and I thought silver would look lovely with it. Never thought about any other colours

I picked my favourite colour green but decide on the shade after I picked my dress and found the colour scheme on Pinterest, sage and blush x

I chose poppy red which was the colour that suited all my bridesmaids. Good luck x

My man loved the navy suit and it went from there... I was torn between navy, burgundy and grey but he did look fit in the navy so navy it was...

I chose our colours dusky pink and mocha grey and then found my venue and the colour scheme went out the window... as soon as we saw the venue we both knew exactly what we wanted and changed it - can’t say too much as have a friend on here who will be coming to the wedding and we want to keep some hints a secret lol

We went for a silver grey as myself and partner wear a lot of black and grey. It's what he is comfortable in, and decorations will help to bring in colour!

I had a look around on pinterest to get ideas. In the end i loved pink and grey colours so i am going with that. Its a classic but still modern.

I changed my mind once I saw the venue then changed it again when I struggled to find decorations matching the colour scheme.
Our venue is amongst woodland and waterways so we have greens and blues.

Royal blue and yellow

I haven't really got 'theme' colours per say. Our weddings James Bond theme so bmaids and flower girls are in black and the table settings are red to go with a kinda casino/card suit themed idea.

I picked my favourite colour which is red. I’ve had various comments, some negative saying it’s cheesy and some positive saying it’s nice to have a bright colour. X

I made a pale blue dress as both my grandmothers got married in blue, and everything worked around that. it was summer though so wanted the flowers to warm it a bit as I could easily have gone for greys and silvers but thought it would have been too icy. Ended up going with champagnes and pale pinks in my bouquets and flowers to warm it up but didnt want strong colours as it could look tacky. I had no bridesmaids so I didn't have to make decisions about dresses to match, but the men were in navy suits with slightly bluey silver ties and my mum had a beautiful pale pink and peach dress which was perfect. My maiden name is Johnston so I got my brother (our witness) an ancient Johnston tartan bowtie which also worked with the colours. Represent

Green white and gold if I can get away with it. Seems logical as they're my favourite colours and my football teams colours too

We wanted bright autumnal colours, as we are getting married on 30th November in Bolton and figured everyone would need a bright theme to cheer them up!!

As a kid i was convinced i would have dark red and cream then i realised EVERYONE has that. My favourite colour is pink but i thought that would be cliche and pink doesn't suit everyone. So i chose my second favourite colour which is purple and ny fiance's favourite colour is turquoise.

We've gone through so oooo many colour changes, we started with purple and turquoise, then ice blue and white, pastels, yellow and grey, sky blue and dark grey, now we are on a Japanese theme so thinking sakura pink and grey

We’re totally not ‘normal’, we like the darker side of life, so it couldn’t have been anything else but black and red theme 😂. My dress is being made for me (in black 😁).

Originally I chose pinks but after a few weeks realised that wasn't very 'us' so we had another think and have changed to green somewhere between mint/sage/olive and as a pop of colour decided on sunflowers x

My favourite colour is green and I like jewel tones. I also knew I wanted a HP/LOTR based theme and I really like the rustic themed wedding pictures I found on pinterest. So Slytherin green from HP and rustic style tones from LOTR (eg ivory, ceeam, grey, hessian). I'm also thinking of succulents rather than flowers as my partner is allergic so colours that fit with that. Accents will be the Slytheirn green/emerald colour.

I thought I wanted certain colours, got my bridesmaids to try some dresses on and we all agreed none of the colours I had picked were right.. We ended up going with a dark plum/bergundy colour, plus my hair is red so it ended up matching quite well! 😂

Look in your wardrobes, which colours appear most often? Choose from that selection and then find a colour that complements it

Spring wedding and from looking online at flowers and things I liked I narrowed it to dusky pink or sage green. Hubby and Sis (maid of honour) both thought the pink would be more romantic so went with that.

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 8 Oct 2019

Mine was blush/pink, red and white. White because it is the traditional colour, red is my husbands fabourite colour and pink is mine. I didn't have loads of decoration and we didn't have flower centre pieces so there wasn't too much that depended on our colour scheme

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 13 Oct 2019

I was unsure what colour to start with but then i thought about what colours I liked and if my bridesmaids wouldn't look pale etc. We had deep purple bridesmaids dresses and my husband and grooms party had a deep purple tie. Go with your instincts and have a play. - I did at 1 point think about each bridesmaid in a different coloured dress.
