Wedding in powder color: images, decor, accessories (photo)

White is considered the classic wedding color. But modern newlyweds are moving away from excessive tradition and organizing weddings in a variety of shades: from a delicate spring wedding in ivory to a “deep” autumn celebration in a burgundy palette.

If you like such experiments with color, but you don’t want to make your celebration too saturated in color, then you should pay attention to the fashionable powdery shade, which will allow you to organize a unique celebration with an incredibly gentle and romantic atmosphere, advises the Svadebka.ws portal.

Powder wedding decoration

You can fully convey the color scheme of a wedding with the help of properly selected decor. Therefore, a powdery shade should be present in the main elements of the holiday decoration: from outdoor painting, if one is planned, to the decoration of the banquet hall. In the case of on-site registration, powder can be:

textiles or fresh flowers to decorate the arch;
petals to create a path to the altar;
satin or silk bows to decorate guests’ chairs;
floral arrangements along the aisle to the altar and/or near the arch (in wedding floral decor, powdery inflorescences should be used as the main ones, complemented by pastel or darker flowers, for example, burgundy or purple, as well as greenery).

The decor of the banquet hall should also use various powder-colored details, for example:

tablecloths in combination with white or contrasting table covers and napkins;
covers or ribbons for chairs (an alternative is bouquets or wreaths of fresh flowers);
dishes with patterns or a themed color rim;
floral arrangements on tables, at the entrance to the hall and near important locations, for example, an original idea would be a flower stand at the newlyweds’ table.

Ideas for a photo shoot

Photos taken in a blooming garden, in a bright forest clearing, near a field or on a river bank will look fresh and picturesque.
You can get by with only natural scenery, or you can use additional props.

The background for photographing such a wedding is preferable to bright, rich, contrasting colors.

A bicycle, suitcases, exquisite furniture, a tractor, haystacks, vintage items or even a live horse - all this can become the setting for a wedding photo shoot.

Bride's image

Since you chose a powdery shade, delicate and romantic, for your wedding, then your wedding look should be the same. A light and airy wedding dress without frilly decoration will be an excellent choice. What it will be - white or powder color - is up to you to decide based on your personal preferences. If white, be sure to complement your look with powdery details: shoes, handbag, garter. If you prefer a powder wedding dress, then it is better not to overdo it with color and choose white or pastel accessories to create a stylish look.

You can complement the bride's image with either gold jewelry with soft powdery stones or jewelry of a similar color, if it matches harmoniously with a colored wedding dress.

Hairstyle, manicure and makeup for a powder-colored wedding should be as gentle and sophisticated as possible. No flashy tones, only pastel shades and soft lines, otherwise your image will stand out from the overall style.

Newlyweds' outfits

Since powdery shades are very neutral, discreet and non-binding, every bride can afford , regardless of height and build. The main thing is to choose the right style and material:

For fragile and slender girls, classic fluffy dresses with a corset, made of flowing tulle, are suitable. Graceful beaded embroidery, drapery in the shoulder part of the dress, frills, flounces and asymmetry are welcome.
For beauties with curvaceous feminine shapes, elegant dresses with a fitted and A-line silhouette, as well as light dresses in the Greek style, will be more complimentary. You should not overload the image with heavy skirts, squeezing corsets and bulky decor. Lush breasts can (and should) be emphasized with an elegant, non-vulgar neckline.

A traditional veil, which is not always appropriate in the overall look, can be replaced with a neat flowing veil, a cute retro hat or a luxurious wreath of natural flowers.

As for the groom, he does not have to wear a pink, beige or peach suit - the color mood can be emphasized with the help of accessories (tie, boutonniere, hat, or powder shirt).

The bride's bouquet

The newlywed's main accessory - her bouquet - should be delicate and sophisticated. You can create it from classic roses or airy inflorescences such as peonies, ranunculus, etc. And the stem of the bride’s bouquet can be decorated with a powder-colored satin ribbon, then it will fit perfectly into the wedding palette.

Delicate “disheveled”

A very beautiful bouquet arrangement in a free style is suitable for a European wedding. Lilac and lilac tones add unusualness to it, supporting the main peach color scheme.

Composition of the floral accessory:

roses varieties White O'Hara and Blue Bird, spray Romantic Pepita;
Moonaqua terry carnations;
lisianthus;
limonium;
painted poppy boxes;
Eucalyptus populus.

Tools:

tape;
pruning shears or garden knife:

We prepare the plants. We clean the stems, remove the lower leaves and thorns. In roses, in addition, we remove the “shirt” - the outer petals protect from wind and bad weather.

We fold the composition using a spiral technique with a low assembly point. With this arrangement, the flowers stand freely, with air between them. We start with White O'Hara roses and a sprig of spray variety. We place them at an angle to each other so that the stems intersect at one point. We hold the plants at this place with the fingers of our left hand, and add the remaining components with our right hand. We alternate small-flowered and large specimens to create an interesting contrast of textures.

We make sure that buds of the same type do not stand next to each other. We place some of them above the rest to show beauty and give liveliness to the composition. We lower each next row down a little. This is how a semicircular “cap” is formed.

We tie the finished composition with twine. It will not damage the fragile stems, but will also prevent them from falling apart. “We pad” the lower part with eucalyptus branches. Their noble silvery hue harmonizes with plants of a “dusty” color scheme. Some of the branches can be placed between the flower stems for a more aesthetic appearance.

Once again we fix the arrangement, now together with eucalyptus.

Using white wax-based tape, we form the handle of the wedding accessory. The fastening material is highly elastic and holds the stems well, preventing them from spreading to the sides. Next, we decorate the handle with lace, which is secured with decorative pins.

Groom image

Next to the romantic bride there should be a stylish groom, whose image should contain powdery elements that are in harmony with the outfit of his chosen one: a shirt, a tie (bow tie) and/or a boutonniere. The latter, by the way, is better to create from the same flowers as the bride’s bouquet, so that they form a single tandem.

Color combination

Bouquets can differ not only in their unusual shape and size, but also in different colors. Each tone in the bouquet can reflect the character of the newlywed. So, for girls with a calm disposition, it is best to choose floral arrangements of a round, regular shape, in which a delicate pink or white tint predominates.

For extraordinary ladies, a bright bouquet made from plants of unusual colors is suitable. Its shape can be different, from ring-shaped to cone-shaped, and the color of the composition can be red, yellow or purple.

The combination of colors in the bouquet largely depends on the appearance of the bride. Brunettes are recommended to choose designs with a bright orange or red tone; blondes, on the contrary, are well suited to a light palette, thanks to which they can further emphasize their “heavenliness.”

It is advisable for blondes to purchase a peach bouquet; a composition in powdery shades will go beautifully with a snow-white outfit. For brown-haired women, the ideal option is floral designs in warm colors; cream and pink shades are best.

The age of the newlywed also plays a huge role in choosing the color of the bouquet. Young girls should give preference to light-colored plants, and more mature ladies should purchase models made of rich colors, which will have a different and intricate shape.

Dress code for guests

Warn your guests in advance that you have decided to organize a wedding in powder tones so that they can choose the appropriate outfits for themselves. Ask for powder-colored elements to be included in their look, for example, a light headscarf for women and a tie for men.

The bridesmaids can be dressed in dresses of a thematic shade (unless, of course, the bride has chosen a powder-colored wedding dress), but their style can be either the same or different - it’s up to you!

Description of pastel shades

Pastel colors are delicate shades, full of peace and tranquility. They relieve tension, relax in their environment, and pacify anger. Soft shades create a feeling of security and envelop you in serenity.

Warm pastel shades

A girl whose image consists of warm, delicate shades inspires confidence and lets others know that they can rely on her. The powdery range creates the image of a confident, wise, diplomatic person. From such persons they want to learn strength of character, determination, and loyalty to the chosen decision and the given word. Affectionate and reverent feelings caused by color are felt due to the fact that delicate pastel colors create an association with home comfort.

Warm tones are combined with white, neutral or other pastels. Powdery shades never go out of style; they make your look look stylish. Bright colors cannot boast of stability; some are losing their popularity, giving way to calm colors. When creating a complete image, use no more than 3 shades at a time. Otherwise, the girl does not look confident and intelligent, but frivolous, carefree, disheveled. Warm pastel colors:

light pink;
dusty pink;
light burgundy;
chocolate tones;
peach;
light coral;
muted beige.

Cool pastel colors

The peculiarity of cool powdery shades is that, by choosing them correctly, you can favorably emphasize the color of your face, hair, and eyes. They are perfect for girls of summer and winter color types. For autumn and spring color types, it is better to choose warm colors. The image of cold pastel colors will be diluted with white, black, and silver. Creating contrast with pastel colors helps create the perfect look. Cold powdery range:

dusty burgundy;
light green;
pale orange;
citric;
mint;
light blue;
grey-green;
cold wine tone;
dusty yellow.

Makeup and manicure in powdery shades

Brides who choose a wedding in pastel colors combine the bouquet with other elements of the image. A good option is makeup or manicure to match the wedding composition in her hands. Delicate shades in makeup are this year's trend. Powdery shades highlight the sparkle in the eyes and catch the gaze of others. Lipsticks of calm colors with shine and light blush complement the bride's makeup. Delicate nude shades of nail polish decorate the look. The manicure is complemented with geometric patterns, neat designs, colored stickers, beads and crystals. You can combine several suitable pastel colors: menthol and soft pink, light beige and blue. Before choosing a nail design, they decide exactly in what colors the bouquet will be created, then it is much easier to choose the tone of the varnish and the design. And in the photographs you will notice how harmonious the bouquet looks in your hands and the image of the girl as a whole.

Wedding accessories in powdery tones

Perhaps the most important accessories for a powder-colored wedding are invitations, because they are designed to “tell” not only the place and date of the celebration, but also its color scheme. These can be either delicate cards in powdery tones or white invitations with a print of a thematic color. Openwork lace, satin ribbons, rhinestones and pearls will be appropriate in the decor of invitations. And you can give them in beautiful envelopes in the palette of your choice.

Other accessories should be made in the same style and color: banquet cards, table numbers and seating plan. Most often, they are made from cardboard, but you can be more creative, for example, you can use flower buds with name cards as seating cards, and make table numbers in the form of beautiful frames with numbers in powder color. Such creative little things can be used not only as accessories, but also as wedding decoration elements in a powdery color.

Don’t forget about the main registration accessory – the ring pad. Sew it from powder fabric and it will perfectly match the color of your wedding. An alternative option is a pillow made from delicate buds, which will give your painting a stunning aroma.

Table decor

The main highlight of the Provencal style is the replacement of traditional vases with a variety of tableware - tea cups, porcelain teapots, transparent bottles, small jars of jam or honey.

Unusual dishes are used to place small compositions. And how original are the wildflowers, diluting the wooden comfort with muted, delicate colors and peeking out from the most unexpected vessels.

Choose a tablecloth from natural materials - linen, cotton, chintz. It can be either plain or in a small pattern - polka dots, flowers, checkered patterns. Lace details are also possible.

Cake

The ideal solution would be a standard-shaped cake consisting of several circles covered with icing.

You can decorate it with lilac glaze or mastic, sprigs of lavender, the main thing is that the decor is discreet. But the filling can amaze with its variety - honey, berries, and everything the newlyweds desire.

Idea! Brave couples can use an alternative to the traditional wedding dessert - a cake consisting of heads of cheese of different varieties lying on top of each other. Guests will definitely not forget this dessert!

Wedding cake and treats

The main treat of any celebration is the cake, which in the case of a powder-colored wedding should literally amaze with its tenderness and sophistication. It can be either completely powdery or white or pastel with powdery details: imitation lace, flowers, beads, etc.

Organizing a minibar at a wedding has recently become a fashionable feature. For a powder wedding, an excellent option would be a sweet table (candy bar), a bar with cotton candy or a bar with marshmallows - a table where guests can cook their own fluffy marshmallows over the fire.

The most important attribute of the newlywed’s decoration

No matter how exquisite the bride’s outfit may be, it will only become complete when she picks up flowers worthy of her beauty - a wedding bouquet to go with an ivory dress. Choosing one for such a toilet is more difficult than for a white one. Expert advice will come to your aid.

The freshness of the beige tone will be emphasized by any flowers similar in shade, lighter or darker, soft orange and terracotta roses, light green, purple orchids, white and yellow callas. Sky blue hydrangeas will be a good accent.

Both cold and warm colors of the petals successfully correlate with cream ivory

In the first group, you should pay attention to luxurious orchids in lavender, lilac, purple shades, and burgundy roses. In the second group - salmon, orange, romantic flamingo

The main thing is not to combine tones that “argue” with each other in one bouquet.

But for a brownish ivory shade this combination of “warmth” and “coolness” will come in very handy. Azure irises, hydrangeas and rare roses miraculously “get along” together and add additional color to the outfit.

A young lady in pearls can safely take a bright scarlet or snow-white bouquet to the ceremony, combining cold and warm shades, pink, purple and violet tones.

If a newlywed who has chosen pink ivory loves contrasts, she can choose purple, scarlet, and pure red colors. To create a more delicate look, you will need bouquets in salmon, peach, coral, and saffron tones. It’s even better if the composition contains several shades at once.

The colors that emit warmth are also primarily suitable for a peach toilet: coral, flamingo, pale orange.

Ornamental plants in bluish-blue shades and interspersed with golden-brown decorative elements look fresh and extraordinary with it.

Symbolism of color

Powdery color is associated with warmth and tenderness. It has a calm and quiet energy. In a bride's bouquet, this color symbolizes peace, harmony, stability and mutual understanding. A powder-colored wedding bouquet promotes a happy, long and strong union of lovers.

Powdery color is able to eliminate negativity, anger and aggression around you. The palette of warm beige shades creates an atmosphere of relaxation and relaxation, helps relieve stress and provide good rest.

A wedding bouquet of noble and discreet color is suitable for modest, romantic and dreamy natures. It will adorn a bride of any age - from the youngest to the most mature - and will favorably emphasize the natural beauty and natural charm of its owner.
