Use Coral and Teal in a Wedding Color Palette
Many women will confess that they have known the colors they would use for their weddings since childhood. Others never gave it a second thought until the actual wedding planning began. Now that the day is arriving, you may be wondering tie together the colors you have chosen. Teal and coral complement one another and can be used in a number of ways at your wedding. From the food to the bridal party attire, incorporate these colors into your wedding effortlessly.
Instructions
1. Accent teal bridesmaids dresses with coral sashes. Satin pumps can easily be dyed teal to match the dresses. Take a small swatch of dress material to most bridal stores and an employee will color the shoes for a small fee. Choose teal or coral stones in decorative combs for the ladies in your wedding party as well. Bow ties and cummerbunds can be rented or purchased in coral or teal to match the bridesmaids' attire.
2. Select flowers that match the colors. Your choice of flowers is virtually endless when using teal and coral. For instance, Gerber daisies come in almost every color imaginable. Your bridesmaids can carry teal and coral daisies in their bouquets. The bridal bouquet can consist of coral roses accented with teal baby's breath. Another idea for the smaller bouquets is to allow small sprigs of curly ribbon to peek out between the flowers and to tie longer matching ribbon around the stems. Groomsmen can pin coral or teal carnations to their lapels.
3. Tie teal and white balloons together with coral ribbon and hang them in the corners of the room where the bride and groom are getting married or use them at the reception. Wrap chairs in teal organza bows, inserting a single coral flower on the back of the chair, in the center of the bow. Accent coral paper napkins with the happy couple's name and wedding date engraved in teal for guests to take home as mementos.
4. Place three white pillar candles on a silver charger to make centerpieces. Tie coral and teal ribbon around each candle. Use a large, clear vase to layer teal and coral sand in. This makes a beautiful display you or your wedding party can take home after the wedding.
5. Decorate your wedding cake with rows of teal-frosted ribbon, accenting the colored frosting with coral-frosted flowers. You can even use the color palette in the refreshments. Coral and teal punch can be achieved with peach and lime sherbet and ginger ale. Most wedding mints come in shades of these colors anyway, so set small bowls of them everywhere in the reception area.
