Every Friday, Wedding and Party Network will be choosing a theme or color and give you inspirational photos. We want to help give you inspiration for your next event, wedding or party. So, take a look and we hope to give you a bit of inspiration when planning your wedding or party. Our inspirational board will give everyone inspiration for going green. When you think green, you may think of the color or being environmentally friendly. Whatever you think of, there are great ways to incorporate them into your wedding or next party.

When you think of March, you think St. Patrick's Day or the beginning of beautiful weather. March is the color for green with all the blooming flowers and St. Patrick's Day. So, incorporate that into your wedding or party. You can make green floral arrangements and pair it with pink, white or purple accents to make it pop even more. Create a green candy bar, use green party food or add green to your wedding cake or party cake. However, if you interpret "going green" into environmentally friendly you can use all the right resources to make sure you have a Eco-friendly party. E-vites, recyclable invitations, recyclable paper, reusable plates or Eco-friendly party favors will be great for a "green" wedding. So, incorporate green into your next event.

Everything has a meaning. The month of birthdays, holidays and even colors have different meanings that supposedly represent you as a person. They are said to represent who we are and what we stand for as a person. So when deciding your wedding colors, do they describe you and your style? What are all their meanings exactly? Do your favorite colors describe you? We all have one and are drawn to each one for a reason. Here's a fun post on the meanings behind your wedding colors!

Red: Oh red, the color of passion, anger, dramatic and desire. This color represents urges. For example, "I must have this" is a commanding urge. Red is a commanding color. This color can signify immediate gratification too. You are a bold and passionate person. With such a bright color, pair it down with white or black. Even turquoise too! Does this describe you?

Orange: When you think of orange, do you think bright, unique and not many people can wear orange? Orange is actually a toned down version of red. Orange is another power color and can stimulate creativity, enthusiasm and even the craving for food. It also represents the passionate urges like red, except mellowed down. If you are choosing orange for a color, you are truly passionate about what you do. So when used for a wedding, you must be extremely passionate about the person you are about to marry.

Sunny Yellow: Yellow is the color of the sun. Which represents cheerfulness, optimism, vitality and power. It's a beautiful color and can represent that you're truly loyal to your friendships. However, if yellow is your favorite color, it is sometimes interpreted that you like to use "I" a lot. This beautiful color can be paired well with whites, greens, or even navy. So pretty!

Green: First off, green represents money. Which is then interpreted to love. It represents life and abundance, such as trees, leaves or grass. Green represents true love. If you're using this in your wedding, you take more of a modern approach on your wedding or you're taking a more eco-friendly approach. Pair it with hot pink for a fun take or white for a more regal look. A beautiful color for a beautiful wedding.

Beautiful Blue: Blue represents clarity and charm. You like to be understood and are expressionistic in all things. When it comes to blue, different shades of blue can represent different meanings. For example, royal blue can be seen as grand a traditional. It reminds you of ballrooms. While, navy is a truly classical wedding. Blue is a beautiful color that everyone enjoys.

Perfectly Pink: If you're choosing a softer pink, it refers to playfulness and happiness. You have a sense of fun and a special fondness in your heart. A very playful color. However, if you're choosing a hot pink, it represents energy. A sense of girl power. Paired well with a variety of colors, whites, black and even green. Makes for a fun wedding color.

Purple: Purple represents imagination, challenging, mysterious and fantasy. It can inspire people to be a little coy or romantic. Again, different shades of purple can mean different things. Lavender represents soft, dainty and a lady-like personality. You can use these colors in many ways for weddings. Deep purple set the tone for a lavish wedding and pairs well with black or gray. While a lavender can be more of a simple, yet elegant wedding. Either way this color is absolutely beautiful.

White: The meaning of purity. It represents simplicity and spirituality. Such a beautiful, elegant color that can be paired well with many colors. You can take a more traditional take or even a more modern one. White is such an amazing color and is incorporated into everyone's wedding, unless you're going outside the box, with your white wedding dress.

Black: Black is the unknown, unseen, mysterious, sophistication and a strong opinion. It is the opposite of white. If black is your favorite color, you are more reserved. In a wedding, it represents pure sophistication. Black is seen as formal. A color that can be paired with any color and still match is definitely black. You can play it up or down and is a popular color trend in weddings. Looks great in bridesmaid's dresses and even in your wedding decorations.

Do your wedding colors suit you best? All colors mean a variety of things. So choose the one that YOU love the most and that fits your wedding theme. Whatever color you choose will absolutely fit your personality, style and theme of your wedding.
