Gray and gold rustic wedding ideas

Fall and winter are perfect for rustic weddings and if you are still lingering on what theme you should choose for your wedding, do take this one into consideration!

Generally speaking, people associate rustic weddings with less elegance and class, but the truth is that choosing the right color theme can change everything for you. Switching from pink and red to gray and gold will add style and femininity to your rustic wedding and it will look absolutely amazing! Here are some of the best gray/silver and gold rustic wedding ideas to take into consideration:

Gold and copper can work wonderfully together and they will both add that “vintage” and “rustic” feeling. You can incorporate them in almost everything at your wedding: from the flower vases to the flowers themselves.

·         Also, going for a golden rustic tiara will look amazing. Simply get a tiara made out of leaves or dried flowers and have it sprayed with gold – you’ll look like a beautiful daughter of Mother Nature!

·         You can have your bridesmaids dress in gold and gray as well (you can either settle on one of the colors and its various shades or on both of them – which works especially well if you want to distinguish the maid of honor from the other attendants).

·         Your wedding cake can be gold or silver as well – it will surely add class and elegance to your rustic wedding!

·         You can have centerpieces made in the same style as the tiara mentioned above as well. White roses and golden roses will look stunning, but this works with wilder flowers and with twigs and branches as well (especially for the winter weddings).

If you want to have a wedding that brings together elegance and the beauty of nature as well, Flourtown Country Club is the place to be at! Come pay us a visit and you’ll be left in awe at the marvelous beauties surrounding our location!

How to Choose a Wedding Color Palette

Do you know what your wedding colors are going to be? If not, don't worry. It's easy to choose the perfect wedding color palette.

A wedding color palette should be made up of your main color, a few shades of that color, a complementary or contrasting color, and a neutral tone. This gives you and your wedding designer the basis for a rich, vibrant wedding style.

For your main color, think about your favorite colors or the colors of your favorite team. Alternatively, if you've found a decorative item that you want to use in your wedding, this can be a place to find a color. Pick out one color and set this as your main color.

Your main color will generally be used for things like the bridesmaids' dresses, the groomsmen's ties and vests, and other big splashes of color. By adding in a few shades of the color, both lighter and darker, you can give depth to your wedding color.

A complementary or contrasting hue is a way to give your wedding an even more impressive style. This will make your main color really pop, too. This color can be added in across your wedding in small ways, such as in the centerpieces, napkin rings, or other details.

A neutral tone is essential as a background for the rest of your colors. This can be white, but also consider an off-white or grey for some color combinations to really look their best.

Another way to get inspiration for your color palette is to look at your venue. If you're looking for a truly inspirational Philadelphia wedding venue, give us a call today!

What You Need to Know about Using Colors in Your Wedding

In the past, brides used color so that they could accentuate their white wedding day decorations. But because of how things have evolved, color is no longer considered just a way to accentuate the wedding—it is now used as a basis for every wedding decoration choice. In some cases, it is even used to determine the theme of the wedding. If you are planning on using color for your wedding, it is important that you follow these considerations:

Choosing the Right Color

When you’re choosing the right color for your wedding, see to it that it matches the location of your wedding. This is why it is recommended to have a location first before you start choosing your wedding colors. This way, you can easily incorporate the colors you have chosen to your wedding venue.

Using Color in Your Wedding

Nowadays, color can be used with just about every single aspect of your wedding. From your wedding decorations to your invitations, you can infuse these things with your chosen wedding colors. Especially with your wedding cake and gown, you are no longer limited to just choosing a plain white option. You can use color with these things too!

Matching Colors

Apart from incorporating color to your wedding, you can now make use of different color patterns in your wedding. Even if you have chosen different hues, you can still make them work as long as you carefully plan them. The best way to do it is to hire a venue decorator that can help you in matching colors together.
