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.

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.
