Wedding theme - Colors - Green


緊接著我們上一次談及婚紗設計師對生態的關注,今日我們想講的婚禮主題顏色就是綠色。雖然綠色不是一個婚禮的傳統顏色,(尤其是中國文化中,紅色才是婚禮的顏色...),許多新娘都喜愛綠色!綠色有許多深淺不同的色系,例如薄荷綠,橄欖綠,翡翠等等...其實我們都很喜歡綠色!妳知道我們的標誌也是綠色的?

選擇綠色(http://weddings.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Green_Color_Wedding_Ideas)
綠色是一種中性顏色,它和彩虹兩端的顏色都很合襯:鮮紅色,酒紅色,粉紅色以至紫丁香,紫羅蘭,和皇家紫色等等。要為妳的婚禮選擇恰到好處的綠色,就不僅是挑選一個漂亮的顏色那麼簡單。首先,妳選擇的綠色應配合不同的季節。輕柔的色調,如粉綠色或薄荷綠適合春天婚禮。而夏天的婚禮,最好搭配明亮,鮮艷或綠色圖案。秋天婚禮可以配合秋葉的草綠或暗綠色而冬天婚禮則應該配合寶石般高貴的翡翠色。

在選擇綠色時也應配合婚禮的主題和場地。輕鬆的婚禮,更適合於明亮,好玩一點的色調。而比較隆重的婚禮需要更多沉實的色彩。妳選擇的綠色亦應配合該場地的裝飾 - 牆壁顏色,地毯圖案等 - 從而造出一個協調的整體感覺。

許多新人選擇使用綠色時,亦可以考慮選擇幾個近似的色調,配合不同的裝飾匯集整個婚禮主題。

Following our last thread on eco wedding dress, we would like to talk about the color - green, as a wedding theme. Yet this time, we will focus more on the color itself. Though not a traditionally popular color for wedding, especially among chinese culture where red is the color for wedding, green is being loved by brides! There are many shades of green, mint, lime, emerald and more... and We love green too! as you can see our logo is in green!

Choosing Green (from http://weddings.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Green_Color_Wedding_Ideas)
In the middle of the color spectrum, green matches well with both rainbow extremes: rich reds, burgundies, and pinks as well as lilacs, violets, and royal purple hues. Choosing just the right green shade for a wedding is more than just picking a pretty color, however. First, the exact shade of green should coordinate with the season. Light, airy hues such as pastel green or mint are perfect for spring weddings, while summer celebrations are best paired with brighter, bold shades or green patterns. Fall weddings can easily be accented with sage or darker green hues, while winter weddings are perfect for jewel tones such as a luxurious emerald.

The green you choose should also be coordinated with the theme of the wedding and its location. Informal, casual ceremonies are better suited to light, playful shades, while more formal events demand more somber colors. The location’s decorations – wall color, carpet patterns, artwork, etc. – can also affect which shade may be best for an integrated, coordinated look.

When choosing green as a primary wedding color rather than an occasional accent, many couples opt to use a range of green shades for a coordinated yet not overpowering palette. Consider choosing several closely related green hues for different decorations to bring together the entire theme with a subtle connection.
