Wedding Trend: A Rainbow of Colors



Brides typically choose one or two colors for their wedding scheme. But a recent trend of a rainbow of hues for weddings has emerged. 

Ideas for a multitude of colors can bring to mind a nursery school room; however, when done well, this scheme can look classy rather than childish.

Here are some ideas for how to bring multiple colors in to your wedding.


Multicolor Bunting – Here’s a combination of two current trends – rainbows and bunting. Wedding Chicks shows a wedding decked out with colorful bunting for a whimsical look. 


Colorful Bridesmaids DressesDifferent colored bridesmaid dresses are another hot wedding trend of late, but usually the dresses are in the same color family. If you really want to embrace the rainbow look, have each bridesmaid wear a different color of the spectrum. 

Keep the look unified by having the attendants wear the same style dress. For a fancier wedding, opt for darker hues and use a more formal fabric for the dresses.


Different Color Lanterns – For an outdoor wedding, paper lanterns arranged in ROYGBIV order will allow you to have a rainbow at your wedding, rain or shine.
 
Flip Flops – For a casual or beach wedding, flip flops in a variety of colors are a fun idea. Available in over 56 colors, you will be sure to find a color to match your bridesmaids’ dresses. Another idea is to have your attendants wear a neutral color, such as deep gray, and add a punch of color to their outfits with flip flops.


If you are interested in the rainbow wedding trend, there are a variety of ways to color. Fancy or fun, a rainbow wedding will make a statement.

Would you have a rainbow wedding?

Western Themed Wedding for Cowgirl Brides



Are you a bride who likes horseback riding, rodeos and cowboys? 

A western themed wedding will show your obsession with all things country. 

Wearing boots with your wedding gown is on trend right now, but here are some other easy ways to incorporate your love of Big Sky Country in to your event.




Petals from Hats –Have the flower girl toss flowers from a cowboy hat instead of a basket. 

Whether you use a fancy 10 gallon hat or a straw version, this is a fun way to add a touch of country into the ceremony.



Horseshoe Table Assignments – You’re lucky in love, so why not share your luck with your guests? A horseshoe used as an escort card can also work as a favor. 

Purchase new or used horseshoes in bulk on ebay, and then tie a card with the seating assignment on with some twine. Rustic and cute at the same time! 


Western Embrace Cake Topper – Show your western style with a whimsical cake topper, such as this Sweet Western Embrace

The bride is wearing cowgirl boots and the groom his cowboy hat. The topper is even available for hair color personalization. 

Bandana Napkins – Is there anything more western than a bandana? Bandanas make great inexpensive yet theme appropriate napkins


A red bandana is what most people associate with a western style, but bandanas are available in just about every color, so there is one sure to go with your color scheme. 


Whether your home is in the Wild West or you live the cowgirl life vicariously through country music, a western themed wedding is a fun idea. 

Are you a country bride at heart?
