Get your wedding colours right and you'll personalise your big day just the way you want. You'll have a stylish wedding day that creates just the mood you're looking for - whether you're a city slicker, a country girl or a vintage chick.

The trick is to know what combines with what. Knowing how to break the rules to your advantage and create something with the wow factor.

How not to be too samey- samey.

How to put colours together that deliberately clash with great results. And how to combine different shades of the same hue.

Which is where the Pantone Wedding colour guides come in. Four different boxes of red, green, blue and neutral shades with Pantone references. Pull them out of the boxes and play around with shades until you find just the mix you're looking for.
