Choosing the right colors for your wedding ceremony and reception decor are very important early on.
My thinking is that you should choose your colors and theme before you do anything else. Not only should you make your colors decision, but you should stick to it as well. Many brides bounce from one idea to another and this accomplishes nothing but killing time.
One of my favorite color selecting ideas is to visit a fabric store and browse their fabrics. Play with the fabrics and swatches while there, and if the fabric store has crafts and silk flowers play with them as well to come up with accent or centerpiece ideas.
Popular fabrics for decor items are:
Tulle which is an afforable way to make chair sashes and bowes, or simply hide things that are unattractive.
Organza (more expensive), which can be used for ceiling drapings, back drops, table runners, or full table linens.
Taffeta (usually more expensive than organza), can be used for accents, or decorative table runners, wrapping for the bridal bouquet stems, and more.
Another great way to pick your colors is to browse stationary, or better yet wedding invitations. There are new chick styles that allow couples to show off their personality. Pick your invitations, and match everything after that to them!
