How do I use a wedding colour scheme generator?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For the bridal party

Short answer

A colour scheme generator takes a base colour and suggests matching shades. Start with a colour you love, then adjust the palette until it feels right. Use the result to guide your stationery, flowers and décor.

Using a colour scheme generator is simple. You begin with one colour, perhaps from your favourite outfit, a flower or a piece of art. The generator then offers a palette of colours that work well together. Most generators let you choose between different harmony rules, like complementary, analogous or monochromatic. Complementary colours sit opposite each other on the wheel, such as blue and orange. Analogous colours sit next to each other, like green, yellow-green and yellow. Monochromatic uses different shades of one colour. Start with a palette you like, then check it against your venue. Look at the floor, walls and any fixed furniture. A palette that looks bright on screen may feel too strong in a dark room. You can also ask your florist or stationer for their thoughts. They see colour every day and can suggest small tweaks. Once you have your palette, write down the exact names or codes for each shade. This helps you keep things consistent across your invitations, table linen and signs. Remember, a generator is a starting point, not a rule. If a colour feels wrong, swap it for something close that feels better.
