There are 10 million colours in the world. No wonder choosing a colour palette for a wedding can be gruelling.
But if there is a colour that we at Cicinia can suggest, that would be slate blue.
Determining Your Wedding Colour Palette
The colour blue alone is a wedding favourite because of the peace, tranquillity, and calmness it evokes. The access to blue-coloured wedding pieces, such as decorations, wedding favours, clothes, and even food and drinks, is also high, making it a practical choice.
Grey is a neutral colour that balances the strength and fine details of a wedding. The colour grey also symbolizes power. Combining the colour blue with grey, another colour commonly used as an accent for vivid wedding colours, you get slate blue.
Match Your Bridesmaid Dresses and Groomsmen Suits Perfectly
Slate blue is one of the most classic colours. It instantly adds deep and sophisticated vibes to bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen suits.
This colour is sometimes called blue grey, or livid. The name is from the characteristics of the metamorphic rock in the US Slate Valley that produces beautiful slate colours of purple, green, blue, black and red.
Because of its distinctive look of muted tone with just enough bright blue and grey, slate blue is a delightful colour to use for bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen suits.
