Most brides are looking for a beautiful wedding on a budget. Early bridal planning involves selecting the color theme of the wedding. Smart brides know that all colors are not created equal. The more unusual the color, the more expensive it will be to decorate with that color. By the same token, when a color is more common, it is much cheaper and easier to find the materials you need to dress your wedding into a beautiful showstopper.
One of the best colors for a bridal theme is yellow. There are a huge variety of decorative items available in yellow. By combining bright yellow with gray, black and white you will evoke the classic colors of French decor creating a timeless statement that is both young and fresh at the same time. At the same time, you will be using other basic colors that are also inexpensive and easy to find in a wide variety of items. Yellow is easy. A little bit of yellow goes a long way. This allows you to extend your decorating dollar by using yellow both as a theme color and as an accent.
Where you will discover the greatest savings with a yellow theme is with your floral decorations. Not only are there many flower types that have yellow blooms, there are a lot of inexpensive flowers that are readily available in yellow. This allows you to reduce the costs of your wedding flowers. Most weddings on average spend 10 to 15 percent of the entire wedding budget for flowers. By simply making yellow your theme color, you can reduce your budget without taking anything away from your wedding design.
