One of the first question questions you might ask yourself when planning your wedding is what colour theme you want for your day, but something that I think is overlooked when brides-to-be are making this decision is muted tones. Yes vibrant colours are very effective, but pale shades or pink, purple, green, blue or nude tones can be equally as effective.
So, with this in mind, today I have some muted inspiration for you to demonstrate how a more reserved palette might look on your day:

So, what do you think? Are you in love with the muted tones? I think that it allows room for more details because you’re not over-powered by a colour scheme. That said, I still love bright colour pops!

I think a more subdued color palette is just like one with more vibrant colors – it has to be pulled together thoughtfully so it looks like a wedding and not just some other party. But I like the inspiration you’ve pulled together alot.
LOVe the muted tones – this is actaully one of my favorite wedding palette because neutral tones are so easy to do inexpensively (but don’t look cheap).
Gorgeous inspiration! I love muted tones.
Thank you for posting this photo of one of my newer designs – The Hailey dress! It’s not even on my website yet! This inspiration shoot with Utah Events by Design was wonderful. Thank you for sharing it on your blog.
