How a Color Analyst Perfects Your Wedding Look
By Roxanne Nicolas, The Fashioneaseta


The wedding journey is filled with many decisions, and one of the most impactful elements is color. This is especially true since this special day and the important events leading up to it will be captured in photos and videos that will be cherished for years to come. A color analyst helps determine the best colors for clothing, makeup, hair, and accessories, ensuring you look your best throughout the wedding festivities and beyond. Here are ten ways one can help you shine bright and make the wedding journey unforgettable.

Picking the Right Shade for the Gown
A color analyst helps find the most flattering shade of every color, even if it’s white; there are many variations of white, and depending on skin tone and undertone, not all shades may be equally flattering. If you choose a more unconventional color for the gown, a color analyst can help decide whether a bright, bold color or a soft, muted tone will look more striking.

Finding the Perfect Makeup Colors
Consulting a color analyst is especially helpful for someone who typically doesn’t wear makeup, as they can recommend the most flattering shades for foundation, lipstick, blush, and eyeshadow that will best enhance your natural beauty. Even if you are experienced with makeup, the analyst can provide color recommendations based on the type of look desired.

Selecting the Right Accessories
Beyond the dress, accessories play a significant role in completing the bridal look. A color analyst can recommend the best shades for jewelry and other accessories, such as veils. The right metals and gemstones can truly enhance your natural glow.

Hosting a Color Analysis Party for a Bridal Shower or Bachelorette Party
A color analysis party is a fun way for you and your closest friends and family discover their best colors together. It’s an excellent opportunity to receive valuable insights into the best color choices and for bridesmaids, family members, and friends to learn the colors that “wow”.

Coordinating the Wedding Color Palette
A color analyst can help not only with the best shade of wedding dress but also with creating a palette for the entire wedding. This includes selecting the perfect color for bridesmaid dresses and floral arrangements to create a cohesive, balanced look that flatters everyone.

Outfit Selection for Engagement Photos and Other Pre-Wedding Events
Engagement photos, the bridal shower, bachelorette party rehearsal dinner, and other pre-wedding events all require outfits that make you look and feel your best. A color analyst will determine the best color scheme and can create a custom set of shades tailored to your unique combination of hair, skin and eyes. You can then use these recommendations to select outfits for all the important events leading up to the wedding. The outcome? Cohesive, picture-perfect moments every step of the way.

Creating a Travel Capsule Wardrobe for the Honeymoon or Destination Wedding
If traveling for a destination wedding or honeymoon, color analysts who also specialize in personal styling can curate a travel capsule wardrobe featuring versatile, flattering pieces in a coordinated color palette. This helps to look effortlessly chic while minimizing overpacking.

Shopping Assistance for Important Pre-Wedding Events
Besides working to find your best colors, a color analyst who is also a personal stylist can assist in finding the perfect outfits in the most flattering colors for all events leading up to the wedding.

Ensuring the Groom’s Attire Complements the Bride
A professional color analysis session can be helpful for your partner as well. By working with a color analyst to determine his best colors, a groom can select the most flattering shades for the tuxedo or suit, shirt, tie, pocket square, and boutonnieres, so that both of you look your best on this special day.

Helping The Wedding Party
A wedding party should complement your vision while looking great in their own right. A color analyst can recommend colors that flatter the entire wedding party so that everyone feels confident and polished.

A color analyst can also provide invaluable insight into how to use color to ensure you look radiant and feel confident at every stage along the wedding journey, not only in the photos and videos to remember these moments forever, but also beyond the special day.
