Guest Blog by Sunshine Coast celebrant, Fiona Roberts of Celebrate with Fiona

You may wonder why a Celebrant would be talking about colour – but it is important that they be made aware of your chosen colour scheme, so that they may respect your choice and blend with your bridal party. Imagine if you had chosen a red and white theme and your Celebrant turned up wearing bright green!

I’ve seen some truly wonderful colour combinations lately, including an amazing fuscia themed wedding at Maleny Manor, beautifully captured by Greg Gardner Photography. You’ve probably already got an idea of what colour you would like your bridemaids to wear, but do you know what your chosen colour means?

Red – is often associated with love, passion, beauty, strength or desire.
Russet Red – is more subdued, yet unafraid of hard work and creating an impression.
Brown – environmentalist, love of land; trustworthy, reliable, yet lacking in ambition.
Orange – a challenger of conventional things, excitement, vitality, enthusiasm and confidence.
Green – symbolises a well-grounded person, connected to earth; denotes strength, growth and stability.
Pale Green – spiritually inclined; gentle natured with a fresh innocence of life and complexities.
Pale Blue – sensitive by nature.
Aqua – love of water, the ocean, sky and healing presence.
Blue – inner peace, communication, faith; inclined to help others; in harmony with the world.
Purple – regal. Associated with royalty, hierarchy and healing; powerful in repelling bad elements, disciplined, authoritarian, yet tender.
White – strong connection with the inner source, high energy levels and open to enlightenment; unrealistic.
Gold – spiritually inspired, regal with strength of character; respect and grace.
Pink – Female essence, pleasant, calm and sweet natured; sense of femininity in all matters, creative and at home in pretty surroundings; youthfulness, innocence.
Black – intense spiritual energy, energised and wishing to dominate.

So be creative and explore your options – think about what you like and what you’d like to portray. And once you’ve decided, make sure you let your Celebrant know, so that they can be proactive in ensuring they deliver an emotionally gratifying and meaningful ceremony.
