January wedding colors

It's interesting:
"There are those who accuse Paul of being unromantic. Well, all I can say, Linda, is that he'll prove them wrong on February 14 when he celebrates Valentine's ..."

June is the most popular month of the year for weddings. But some brides choose to have their weddings in January and other less popular months. Some may be seeking discounts from vendors that they wouldn't get in more popular months, while other brides simply prefer the road less traveled. If you are planning a January wedding, you may be finding it hard to decide on a color scheme for your ceremony and reception.

1. Silver, Blue and White

   • Borrow the colors of silvery icicles, steel blue skies and wintery white snow for your January wedding. Bridesmaids will look icy cool in light steel blue bridesmaid dresses. Adding a silver lame ribbon around the bride's waist will add glitter and shine to her dress. The bridal bouquet can also sparkle if made from silver and crystal bead bouquets, instead of traditional flowers. The groom and groomsmen will sparkle too, in steel blue ties and silver cuff links. Twinkling lights and white tulle will bring your winter wonderland theme to the reception.

   Gemstone Colors

   • Garnet is January's birthstone. The rich, deep red of garnet, mixed with other gem stone colors such as emerald green and sapphire blue make for a dramatic wedding color scheme. Velvet bridesmaid dresses in these rich colors make for a sophisticated look. Add glittering gemstone colored rhinestones to bridesmaid bouquets and glimmer crystals to the bride's bouquet. At the reception, name dinner tables after gemstones and scatter gemstones in center of the table, surrounding a large vase of gemstone colored ostrich feathers.

   Chocolate and Cream

   • Rich creamy chocolate and smooth cream make beautiful January wedding colors. Bridesmaids look luscious in satin chocolate dresses and carrying a bouquet of cream roses. The bride will make quite an entrance in creamy satin, carrying a bouquet of brown roses. The direct contrast of the bride and bridesmaid will reinforce the color scheme. A chocolate fountain at the reception will carry this theme to the reception. Favors of milk and white chocolate provide a yummy treat for guests to take home.

   Purple and Cream

   • Deep rich purple and cream create a sophisticated color scheme for January weddings. Bridesmaids in purple will look beautiful carrying creamy roses. A rich purple sash around the waist of a creamy bridal dress helps to tie the theme together. Name the reception tables after various hues of purple. Amethyst, plum and violet are all examples. Mounds of grapes in crystal urns look amazing when set on a table of cream.
