So, wondering how to choose the right wedding color palette? Here are some ideas and tips to help you out.
Important Considerations
Although you will want to go with colors you really like, there are other things to consider as well when choosing the color palette for your wedding.

Do you want a romantic feel or a more vibrant and celebratory feel for your wedding? Even the season should be taken into consideration, since season can have a big impact on the color choices.
Using a Color Wheel
A color wheel can really help you out when you’re choosing your wedding colors. A good color wheel can help you to pick out colors that will coordinate together. There are complimentary colors, monochromatic colors, and analogous colors as well. Any one of these strategies can be used to create a good color palette.

Choosing the right wedding jewelry depends on the kind of wedding that suits your style. a couple of examples are:
Individualistic - If you’re not having a traditional wedding in any sense, you’ll have a lot more freedom of choice. Of course, that can be confusing. Pay close attention to your theme and stay within it. Medieval brides should look at reproduction pieces from individual artists - these are often surprisingly inexpensive. Gothic weddings call for dark, elaborate jewelry, and you may need a custom piece. Talk to an artist well before the wedding if you want to have wedding jewelry that’s completely unique. Look online if you’re interested in finding jewelry that no one else will be wearing - many artisans maintain galleries on their websites, and it’s a fast way to look at a lot of great jewelry. Vintage pieces may also be a great choice for the offbeat wedding. Look in antique shops or on sites like Ebay to find the perfect pieces. Just remember not to over do it - many vintage pieces of jewelry can be pretty flashy.
Celebrity - Throughout the past hundred and fifty years, and possibly even longer, people have looked at the fantastic weddings of celebrities for inspiration. If a star’s recent wedding has inspired you, don’t be afraid to take elements from her jewelry and gown selection. Of course, you should never directly copy someone else’s design choices. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t use a few of the same elements to create a fabulous wedding of your own. If you’re planning to have an all out extravaganza, you can’t do badly looking to stars for inspiration. Don’t just limit yourself to recent celebrities, either. Vintage looks are popular at the moment, and you can get a lot of inspiration from the weddings of the stars of yesteryear.
Choosing your wedding jewelry might be daunting at first, but a good plan and plenty of time will make it a much easier proposition. Just take a good look at the type of wedding you’re going to have, and accessorize accordingly. Choose pieces that will harmonize with your gown and hair, and don’t let a single piece of jewelry take over. Remember that this is your special day, and it’s going to be something you remember for years to come. Make your wedding wonderful by looking your best. Choose the right wedding jewelry for the occasion.

What jewelry you wear on the day of your wedding will depend on the style of the ceremony and reception. While the traditional white wedding is still popular, it’s not the only choice. Plenty of people are having casual weddings, themed weddings like western and beach ceremonies, and other unusual choices. Wearing the wrong jewelry could make you look and feel out of place - not the memories you want for your big day. Here are a few common looks that you can use as a springboard when you pick out your wedding jewelry.
Classic - If you’re wearing a while, traditional dress and the wedding ceremony will be very traditional, you can get a lot of mileage out of big pieces that really catch the eye. Diamond earrings and a matching pendant and tennis bracelet aren’t out of the question, and you can get much the same look for less using cubic zirconia and other less costly alternativessuch as Swarovski crystals. If you’re wearing a strapless gown, think about complementing your beautiful wedding jewelry with an upswept hairdo that will draw attention to both your shoulders and your elegant crystal earrings.
Contemporary - If you’re wearing a sleek, elegant modern dress, getting the right balance is trickier. Some women choose to soften and contrast their sleek gown with traditional jewelry. If you’d like to go this route, think about pearls - either natural or cultured. They come in many sizes, shapes, and colors, and can be found to fit your taste. A modern look is provided by a keishi pearl necklace also known as petal pearls.
