A well-coordinated family creates stunning photos and a polished wedding aesthetic. Our family wedding styling service makes this effortless.
The Color Palette Approach
Instead of picking one color, choose a palette of 3-4 complementary shades.
Example Palettes:
Regal: Deep maroon, dusty rose, champagne gold, ivoryFestive: Royal blue, turquoise, silver, creamEarthy: Olive green, rust, mustard, off-whitePastel: Lavender, blush pink, powder blue, mintAssigning Colors by Role
Bride & Groom: The richest, most saturated shade from the paletteParents: Complementary but slightly muted tonesSiblings: Can match or contrast — coordinated accessories helpExtended family: Broader palette range with a connecting element (e.g., everyone incorporates gold)The "Thread" Technique
Choose one element that runs through everyone's outfit:
A specific embroidery style (like gota patti or zardozi)A shared accessory color (gold bangles, matching pocket squares)A fabric type (everyone in silk, or everyone in chiffon)Our wardrobe planning service creates a complete colour calendar for your multi-day wedding.
