Why Colour Choice Can Be Critical


One of the things I find most difficult to decide on when theming a room is colour choice. There are so many amazing colours to choose from and I am often led by my heart as to what is the right one to choose.
There’s been a great deal of study into the psychology of colour, what each one symbolises and how it effects people in different ways
Green is the colour that symbolises nature and the natural world and represents tranquillity and good health
Blue is most peoples favourite colour and calls to mind feelings of calmness and serenity. Research has shown that people are more productive in blue rooms
Yellow is most commonly described as being cheery and warm, but research shows that people are more likely to become agitated in a yellow room
Red is a colour that evokes strong emotions and is most commonly associated with love. Too much red however can have the opposite effect and make people feel intense or even angry.
Some interesting things to consider for your next function

Creating Special Memories

It’s the happiest day of your life and according to many studies also one of the most stressful things to organise – your wedding!
Hopefully planning your wedding will only be something you do once, so with zero prior knowledge to refer to it’s vital to have some expert guidance.
I have many brides with whom I sit with at the initial planning phase, having no idea of colours or styles. I also have worked with a few who bring me detailed notes, clippings and fabric swatches. Both are a pleasure to work with for different reasons.
My biggest thrill of working on a wedding is that I am doing so in the knowledge that I am contributing towards a special memory which will be treasured for all time. I especially love working closely with couples who allow me to include in my theming elements which are personal and unique to them.
My advice to any bride planning their big day is to relax and take your time making decisions. We are fortunate to have a wealth of information at our finger tips and the possibilities are endless when it comes to colours and theming.
Whatever you choose for your wedding, it will always be perfect as it was part of your very own special memory.
