COLOR FORECAST FOR 2014

Deciding on what your wedding color will be could be a little tricky, I may say.  Factors are to be considered. Varied reactions and unsolicited advises  might be a little bit too much 'round the corner. So, SIGH high, Bride, you might wanna gear up and bargain for a win -win situation here.

For example, a Bride-to- be loves the deep purple color and wishes to  mainly incorporate that color  to her wedding details, but as traditional Filipino members of her family might attest to such color choice because it is associated with a loss of a loved one.

 Another bride, loves all her wedding party and guests to wear the sophisticated BLACK so that she will be the only one who will wear IMMACULATE WHITE, yet a big NO NO form a grad mom.

So , choosing the RIGHT MOTIF needs to be thought of. You might wanna check the COLOR WHEEL for this.
