Delicate shades and soft hues make everything more uplifting, romantic, and swoon-worthy – this is the reason why pastels are well-loved for just about any celebration, especially at weddings. These irresistible light colours suit any wedding theme and can be applied to just about any aspect of it – from the attire and invitation down to the cake and favours. Whether you’re planning a simple spring wedding or a glamorous autumn affair, there’s a pastel colour palette that is perfect for it.
What is Considered Pastel Colyejiours?
Any colour can be transformed into a pastel shade by adding a distinct amount of white to create a dreamier faded effect and light and airier hue. But to be a little more specific, the most popular pastel colours are blush pink, light yellow, mauve, lavender, mint green, and baby blue. These lovely tones put fun and whimsical feel to any canvas, be it food, decoration, fashion, or accessories. They are easy on the eyes and stir up positive emotions – just what you need for an event as special and important as a wedding.
How to Choose the Right Pastel Palette?
Throwing a pastel-themed wedding may sound a bit overwhelming as you have various colour combinations to choose from. You might think that finding the right blend would be challenging, but that is far from the truth. There are a few easy steps on how you can find which fusion of pastels suits your vision. First is consulting the pastel hex code(available online) and finding from the plenty of shades the combination that you feel suits the aesthetic you’re going for.
If you already have initial tints in mind but are not sure how to blend them to create the desired effect, you can try mixing light pastel shades with darker ones and select the one that produces the most delightful contrast. Another way of picking a pastel palette is experimenting and putting together two to four light pastel colours and going for the one that evokes the most refreshing and appealing visual based on your taste. Lastly, if you want something simple yet alluring, you can just go monochromatic and favour just one pastel shade.
