Color and texture are two of the most important elements in wedding decor. They can make or break a space, so it’s important to choose them wisely. The right combination of colors will create an impactful, cohesive look that reflects your style, while adding texture will give your space dimension and make it feel more lived-in.
In this article we’ll discuss:

• Why color and texture are so important in wedding decor;
• How to use them to create a unique look for your wedding; and
• Some tips for incorporating both into your decorating scheme

Choosing a Color Palette

Choosing a color palette for your wedding is an exciting and fun process. It’s also one of the most important decisions you’ll make in planning your special day, as it will affect everything from the flowers to the cake to your dress.
Here are some tips for selecting colors that complement each other:

• Select three or four shades that work well together and complement each other visually. Your goal should be to create a unique combination that no one else has seen before! If you’re having trouble deciding on just two hues, try using more than one color family (i.e., warm vs cool). This will give your design lots of depth without being overwhelming or busy-looking.*

Incorporating Textures

You can use textures to create visual interest, but it’s important to keep your design cohesive. If you want to add texture, consider the following:

• Use different types of fabrics and materials in your decor. For example, if you’re using silk flowers on the tablescape and linen napkins as table runners, consider adding burlap ribbon around the vases or adding a runner made from burlap fabric underneath each place setting (this will also help protect your table).
• Make sure that all of your elements fit together well–for example, if you’re using glassware with metal accents like gold rimmed plates or silverware sets then avoid using wood accents in other parts of your decor (such as wooden cutlery holders).

Adding Color with Flowers

• Choosing flowers that match your color palette.
• Incorporating seasonal flowers.
• Using flowers to bring in texture.

Using Colorful Linens

Linens are a great way to add color and texture to your wedding decor. Linens come in many different styles and colors, so it’s easy to find ones that match your color palette. You can also use linens to create a cohesive look for all of your wedding decor items by choosing one main color for all of them (like red) and then adding other colors as accents throughout the rest of your decorations.

Creating a Colorful Tablescape

Creating a colorful tablescape is one of the easiest ways to add color and texture to your wedding decor. You can incorporate color through centerpieces, place settings and table runners.
To create a vibrant centerpiece for your table, choose flowers that are in season at the time of year you’re getting married–these will be more affordable than buying out-of-season blooms from faraway places. If you want to go all out on this part of your decorating scheme, consider having each guest bring their own flowerpot with them so they can plant something after dinner!

Bringing in Textured Décor

• Textured fabrics: If you’re looking to add some texture and interest to your wedding decor, consider using textured fabrics as backdrops. For example, you could use burlap or canvas in lieu of traditional fabric on the backdrop behind the cake table or buffet table.
• Lanterns: Lanterns are another great way to add visual interest without being too over-the-top. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors so can easily be incorporated into any design scheme–and they make great lighting options when used indoors (or outdoors at night).
• Accessories: Accessories like candles and vases are also great ways to add color and texture without needing much effort! Candles come in all shapes, sizes and colors; so whether you prefer tall pillar candles or short taper ones there should be something for everyone’s taste here! Vases can also be used as decorations if filled with flowers or greenery instead of just being left empty on tables where guests sit during dinner time!

Adding Color with Lighting

You can also use colored lighting to add color and texture to your wedding decor. For example, if you have a white or ivory table runner, try using colored uplighting behind the tables to create a dramatic effect. You can also incorporate colored spotlights into your floral arrangements–a technique used by many high-end florists. Or try adding some color with bulbs: use red or pink bulbs in votives as an alternative to candles (which are often prohibited at weddings).

Using Colorful Props

Props are a great way to add color and texture to your wedding decor. They can be used in many ways, including:

• To bring in colors that don’t naturally occur in your venue or decor. For example, if you’re having an outdoor ceremony at a park with brown grass and trees, using colorful props will help bring some of that color into the scene.* look for your photos. A prop can be used as part of the background for photos or even as part of an outfit worn by one of your bridesmaids!

Conclusion

If you’re still having trouble getting started, here are some tips:

• Choose one or two colors that represent something important to you Then, use those colors as inspiration for other aspects of your wedding (like the cake).
