A lot of people love color in a wedding.  There are many creative ways that you can add color to what might be the most important day of your life.  Consider the following ideas.

Flowers

One unique way to add color to a wedding is to use rose petals.  Rose petals are very sweet to add to a wedding.  You can place them on the table and they can make even smaller floral arrangements look much more significant.  You can line the aisle with them.  You can choose a single color such as red or use a mix of different colored rose petals.

Just the flowers in general can be used to add color to a wedding.  For instance, let's say you have mostly a white wedding.  You might just have red floral arrangements as the only color in the decorations.  This can make them stand out beautifully.  Also, some people might have simple decorations but then put a little vase with brightly colored flowers in front of each place setting.  This can serve the dual purpose of adding color and providing a nice wedding favor.

Have a little color in the wedding dress

Not all brides wear all white.  Some dresses with have a little color to add a little something extra.  This might be in the bodice or in the train.  It might have embroidery or little appliqué flowers.  The men can add to it by having their vests or other parts of their wedding attire have some color as well.

Serve a brightly colored cake

A lot of people who love bright colors might incorporate it into their cake.  You could add all of the colors of the rainbow to your cake design.  When you go to a bakery you will usually be able to choose from hundreds of designs and some will custom make what you want in the colors of your choice.

Colored lights

Some people like to use lights in their wedding.  If the wedding is outside with trees and bushes or if there are small trees in the room, then you can take some colored Christmas tree lights add drape them on them.  This could be especially nice if you are getting married when it is dark or if you are having a holiday wedding. 

Color can make a wedding beautiful.  You can focus on one or a couple of colors or unleash a veritable rainbow.  Consider the above unique ways in which to add color to a wedding.
