Colour plays an important part in any wedding. Some people choose their favourite shade, or the colour of their birthstone. Sometimes it’s based around their favourite flowers or even that awesome bridesmaid dress that comes in only one colour. Whatever the meaning for you, it’s important that you like the colour because you’re going to see a lot of it over the course of planning your wedding.
