Duel colored weddings are an extremely chic wedding trend for 2008. Duel colored weddings are not for the traditional bride and groom, it is for the modern bride who wants her wedding to “pop”. This trend gained popularity within the past two bridal seasons with brides pairing soft colors with neutral brown; now we are now seeing more adventurous color schemes for 2008 weddings.
Remember though, before selecting a duel colored wedding, think about your photographs - will you be able to reflect fondly on your wedding twenty years from now if your photos are filled with bright, magnificent colors? If you’re ok with staying with the trends, then this style of wedding may be for you.

The color you choose for your wedding will ultimately set the theme for the entire event. You can choose to play around with the color wheel and go monochrome, but working around lighter or darker variants of the color. You can also choose two complementing colors, or be daring and creative by choosing two loud colors. The key in using two loud colors is the way it is used so that they do not clash. Here you will find several ways of using and playing with colors. Remember that the colors should be reflective of the couple getting married, and have fun!
1. Color according to season. Taking color hints from the season should be reflective of nature’s own colors. Fall or autumn weddings should make use of deep, rich colors, like the hues that fallen leaves take. Choose two rich colors that complement each other. Examples of fall or autumn color schemes are: rust and buttery gold, brown and red, rust and green, purple and olive, deep red and purple.
