Since i'm feeling fairly sleepy now... i'll blog in some simple tips on dis simple subject:
"Choosing a theme color for your wedding... how hard could it be????"
hehehehe... as simple as it may sound... even choosing the theme color can be such a chaos in the early days of your planning. y??? definitely cos a color sets almost every aspects of the event: ur decos, ur favors, ur pelamin, ur dress, ur cards, n d list goes on... And bcos of this particular reason, u'll find dat everybody close to you would suggest you a pile of colors to choose. n this is when u'll start going color blinded... heheheh.
Nonetheless... i think wht's d most important thing in choosing ur theme color is this:
let's say you choose color x,
what would be the best combination of color x that could be made as the color of ur wedding dress (let's say color y)
would color y suits (i) ur skin color, (ii) ur personality, (iii) d wedding itself! :)
dat is y a white wedding dress would alwes be the safest choice and white could practically suits every other color combination... but an all white wedding is a lil a bit boooring... dn't ya think? i did some survey... so here's some tips if u wanna choose colors other than white for ur wedding dress:

- Fair Skin. Choose light colors, like beige, sea-foam, rose, and other pastels. Creamy colors with a hint of peach work wonders. However, don't limit yourself to hues as fair as your skin. Mix a bright and colorful piece, (like a turquoise polo, or bold headband,) with a more subtle color. Girls with dark hair and porcelain skin look absolutely stunning in rich purples, emerald greens, and deep reds. Avoid blacks. They will make you looked washed-out.
- Golden Skin. Golden skin really is light skin, but it's a few shades darker than fair, and it doesn't look like you're a porcelain doll. Any color looks gorgeous on you. In the daytime, try colorful pieces. Also, sage green pants look great. For evening, go with subtle, yet powerful hues, like a kelly green dress, or a girly pink. Any shade of blue looks beautiful too. The best part? You get to wear black, the most slimming, simple, and intriguing color of all
- Bronzed Skin. Turquoises, oranges, and pinks look best on you. Any color that's a mix between two others is key. They play up your tanned look. If you dare, try a shade of red, and steal the spotlight.
- Dark Skin. Your type of skin looks beautiful against semi-rich colors. Avoid very dark colors. Plums, ruby-reds, and forest-greens look amazing. For a noticeable contrast, mix in an ivory piece. It makes your skin noticeable and is very flattering.
So... once u r aware of which color best suits u... u can start deciding on ur wedding color theme!!!
