4 Favorite Wedding Inspiration Color Stories

Do you know what we mean by a wedding color story? It's basically taking swatches of colors that provide complimentary hues, soothing monochromatic tones, and/or bold contrasting choices to begin selecting how a wedding will ultimately be styled - from the colors of bridesmaids dresses to the bridal bouquet and reception table decor.

The color swatches is where you begin. But then you start to add online photos to your Pinterest page, print out photos from online, or cut them out of newspapers, magazines, catalogs, and other print sources to add real-life images to help bring the colors to life. One color swatch might be brought to life in a pair of shoes, the trim on a dress, or the wallpaper in a chic living room. Usually the color story begins with fashion and then the story grows and grows from there. But the swatches interrelate to help tell the complete story.

Fashion makes our style perfects within our requirement and the appearance we have but so many times I have seen that the women do not look attractive after applying fashion products and the makeup on their facial skin and the reason is they did not do it according to their facial structure and the skin quality so we always need to have the best ideas for that.
