Here are some ideas for the trendiest colors being used for these one color shows.

Chartreuse green has been a leading wedding color for the past few years. You have seen this pretty green combined with chocolate brown and aqua. But this fresh green color can hold its ground alone. The trend in weddings colors is to use one solid color as the focal point throughout the entire wedding. The weddings colors have no other accents and highlights besides what the bride wears – usually white or ivory. Among this trend towards one single color, stands this pretty chartreuse green, lime green or apple green and has become a popular choice for brides. Start with the green in the invitations and take it through out the wedding to the cake, flowers, decorations, and down to the favors. Pretty lime green favor vases can be found at Chic Wedding Favors.com to give out to guests, who will always remember your unique wedding colors as these fresh colored vases decorate their own home. This refreshing color has been popular for spring and summer weddings and can often been seen at fall weddings inspired by an apple theme.

Other colors on the scene may be bright oranges and yellows. Orange and peach are predicted to be a popular wedding scheme for 2009. Use peach colored wedding favor boxes tied with bright orange favor ribbons and you could include Tiger lilies in bridal bouquets. These colors can even lend to the flavors used in your reception meal. Bring on the tropical fruits! It’s perfect for a beach wedding or a tropical themed wedding. Bright yellows will also be very popular, and when mixed with a tropical theme, what a beautiful wedding sight that would be! You could also have wedding favor boxes decorated with yellow and blue ribbon, as well as color coordinated place settings.

Among the bold colors, will be the blues that are great for a midsummer nights dream wedding or winter events. Navy blues will appear with teal blue and aqua for weddings in shades of blue.

Using one color may seem overwhelming for a wedding color theme. However, remember that colors have several hues and shades that can be combined together to create the right balance. When a wedding color is selected to go solo, it does not mean that there won’t be natural accents in the wedding reception surroundings. It is likely that the bride will be distinctive in a color such as white or ivory to stand as an accent alone. The trick is to not make it look like buckets of paint have just been splashed all over your wedding reception. Creating a color scheme using one color is an art and with the help of a wedding designer and coordinator all the elements of your one major color scheme wedding can come together.
