Want to reveal the colors of summer in your wedding? Summer wedding colors can display elegance, warmth, and free-spirit to go well with the season of sunshine. However, a contemporary wedding in 2007 should be hip and up-to-date. Choosing summer wedding colors can be confusing, more so when it comes to what colors work best together. Before heaving a big sigh, though, these 2007 summer wedding colors will be your best tool for perfect summer wedding color themes.

Couples usually base their wedding colors on their favorite shades. If this is your case, find a color/colors that complements with your favorite. You could hardly go wrong with finding a complementing color from the color wheel. Additionally, a favorite flower's color may also be the basis of your summer wedding color theme.

The ultra-popular 2007 summer wedding colors include a lot of the pink shades, which can be any of these combinations: hot pink and black, fuchsia and orange, soft pink and brown, pink and green, or fuchsia and lime green. Browns are also capturing a lot of appeals that look great when blended with chocolate brown and Tiffany blue (or aqua) being the favorite combinations. The modern color combinations of lime green and navy, as well as plum and tangerine are both very striking, and lucidly modern and elegant.

If you want to see more color themes for your wedding before they even become hit, look in catwalks where to preview upcoming trends before they flood the mainstream. Pastel and other bright colors typically fill the entire summer because of the hot weather, but don't be limited to these combinations. Remember that weddings predominantly tell a lot about you and your partner's personalities, so choosing colors should not be necessarily based on "what's new" or "what's hot" this season but they should agree with your preferences. And don't overuse colors – two or three combinations would be appropriate for weddings.

Here are great summer wedding colors combinations to help you make a choice: red and orange; lavender and purple; pink and yellow; pink and red; sage and lavender; and aqua and turquoise. Three-color combinations are also fine if they harmonize perfectly such as red, pink, and orange; white, pink, and orange; lavender, purple and ivory; sage, pink, and yellow, and any three combinations of hot pink, purple, yellow, orange and lime.

Another way to narrow down your choice of colors is to visit a wedding boutique together with your bridesmaids. Choose a gown design that everyone agree with, and then ask the caretaker what colors the dresses come in. You can also base your theme from your chosen colors. Colors frame a wedding, and are most likely remembered by guests through the floral decorations used, the dresses, and decors. Colors also help enhance the type of atmosphere you want to bring out in your wedding.

Another tip in choosing colors is to consider the concept associated with a particular shade. For instance, red means strength, beauty, passion, luck, and celebration. Light blue represents happiness, health, creativity, and patience. Yellow is usually a symbol of friendship, intellect, and cooperation while pink is the color of love and friendship. Green symbolizes peace, nature, fertility, and harmony. Orange hues stimulate energy and represents knowledge. Purple symbolizes mystery, royalty, growth, and spirituality. White is the color of peace, purity, protection, and fairness.

You can adopt a monochromatic approach to summer wedding colors by using just one color in varying hues. Complimentary colors are those colors that lie opposite a color in the color wheel.

One last advice, the colors of your wedding should be a personal choice and relate to your personality. They should reveal the mood you want to draw out for the occasion and something that makes you happy, because after all, it is your wedding.
