Choosing a colour scheme is one of those crucial decisions in wedding décor planning, but there is no need to feel intimidated by this flamboyant shade.
Coral is trending, but you don’t have to go overboard to incorporate it into your colour scheme. In fact, coral can be subtly integrated into a variety of wedding details for a joyful pop of colour. Depending on your preference, you may opt to choose coral as an accent or base colour. Naturally, you should select a base colour that you love as it will feature prominently throughout your wedding. Accent colours are essential to add dimension and prevent the base colour from becoming over-the-top.
Depending on the colour choice of your base, your accent colour should be on the opposite side of the colour wheel. For instance, if your base is coral, choose demure accent colours with neutral tones and in case of a neutral base, then bold choices like coral are considered complementary.
From cake to floral arrangements, here are five unique ways to incorporate coral into your celebration details.
