DIY wedding: How to choose wedding colours

Hola!

I'm kicking off this week of DIY wedding-ness by talking colours...

I was originally going to make this a step-by-step how-to, but I've decided I'm just going to show you how I did it, and what the end result was, in pictures. Enjoy:

1. I created a mood board with all the images I loved most:

Wedding colours, peach, lemon, mustard, gold, grey, neutral, colour board

{The Colour Board I created not long after we got engaged. Or maybe slightly before. Don't tell..}

2. I identified my palette based on the images... roughly

Wedding colours, pastel, palette, peach lemon neutrals yellow

{Try to think in terms of colour families - any shade (e.g light pink, dark pink) within that family is fine it doesn't need to be too matchy matchy!}.

3. Gathering supplies...

I wanted a handmade style wedding with happy, sunshiney colours. I kept that loosely in mind when I chose my products, and they all came together perfectly even though they aren't too matchy matchy.
