White is no longer the only favorite color at weddings. As the main palette of this celebration, you can see a variety of shades of the rainbow. Much in choosing a color scheme depends on the theme of the event, the preferences of the bride and groom, the time of year and other circumstances. But if you are bored with traditional white, and it is difficult to decide on the main wedding color, then the optimal and very festive option is a rainbow palette.
The rainbow symbol is great for wedding events. It embodies happiness, luck, hope. And it is not surprising that this design theme is becoming more and more popular all over the world. When including all the shades of the rainbow in your decor, be careful, otherwise the atmosphere of the celebration will become overly colorful and tasteless. We share some cool ideas on how to decorate a rainbow wedding:
Rainbow made of balloons
The easiest way to emphasize the rainbow mood of the holiday is to collect a rainbow from multi-colored balloons. Such an arch can be placed at the entrance to the dining room, above the pedestal for a wedding, above the seats for the newlyweds at the table, or placed along the entire room.
Rainbow bar
A bar counter or table with drinks can look very playful and colorful if you place drinks of different colors on it. It could be cola, Fanta, tarragon, berry compote or blue gin. The sun's rays will penetrate through the glass of the bottles and make the colors even brighter and more festive.
A wedding cake
The dessert must fully correspond to the chosen style, you can order it completely multi-colored, you can order half, or if you want just white, but decorated with different edible sparkles or multi-colored fruits. It all depends only on your desires, and the confectioners will make them come true.
Imagine how harmoniously such a cake will combine with the style you have chosen; all guests will be very surprised and delighted, and will want to try it as soon as possible.

Ribbons with guest names
In order not to waste a lot of time on seating the guests, it needs to be thought out in advance. To do this, it is better to mark the names of each invitee on the chairs. This can be done in different ways. For example, it is very colorful and at the same time laconic to use multi-colored ribbons with name plates attached to them.
Floral diversity
What's a wedding without flowers?! There should be a lot of them at the celebration. If you want to add rainbow shades, make bouquets of plants of different shades or use several plain bouquets of different colors. They will look great on a plain snow-white tablecloth.
Rainbow Dome
Are you planning to bet on the ceiling? Take several long and wide multi-colored satin or organza ribbons and use them to build a dome with a bouquet of balloons in the middle. It can be placed above the entire reception hall or just above the heads of the newlyweds.
Colored vases
For a monochromatic wedding floral design, add rainbows with colorful vases and jars. They can be wrapped in multi-colored threads, painted, or the water in them can be slightly diluted with paint.
We carry out a photo zone
It is now customary to design a special area for photography in the wedding reception hall. The brightest and most unusual wedding, blooming with all the colors of the rainbow, is a great idea for a summer celebration, which can be brought to life by making many of the decorations with your own hands.
It is believed that the rainbow, like a multi-colored thread, connects the sky with the earth. If marriages are made in heaven, how can you get there on your wedding day if not by following the rainbow?
You can place a press wall in it by ordering it in advance from companies specializing in large-format printing. They also often offer rental services for banner stands.
Rainbow candles
Usually white candles are chosen for weddings. Try to break this rule gracefully. Take a few colorful candles and place them on a white, monochrome wall or tablecloth. If this decision is too bold and difficult for you to implement, then purchase ordinary white candles and decorate them with multi-colored ribbons, flowers or beads.
Wedding outfits
Rainbow wedding dress
If you have long dreamed of a green dress, wear it without hesitation. Just like purple, pink or orange. The wedding theme gives the bride complete freedom of choice. If one color doesn't suit you, that's not a problem either. Today, stylists offer a wide selection of multi-colored models in the “gradient” style, when one color smoothly transitions into another. Or a real rainbow wedding dress, which has all seven colors of the rainbow.
But if you are not ready for such shocking and have always dreamed of a white dress, then there are no barriers here either. Only some element of the outfit can be colored, for example, a chiffon petticoat or ties on a corset. Color can also be added with accessories. Red shoes, green earrings, yellow gloves - choose what you like best. Don’t forget that the manicure can be multi-colored, as well as hair decorations. And the bride’s rainbow bouquet can be made from the same satin ribbons as decorations. What’s nice is that such a bouquet will not wither and will remain a long memory. There are a lot of options. All you need to do is decide what you want to focus on.
Rainbow wedding groom suit
There are also several options for the groom's outfit. It can be a bright flashy color or multi-colored. But this is only if the bride has a white dress. Too many colors will look strange and disrupt the harmony of the newlyweds’ images.
If the bride chooses a colored dress, it is better for the groom to choose a plain, classic wedding suit and add a bright accent to it. They can be: a shirt, tie, suspenders, cufflinks or boots. Don't forget that the boutonniere should match the bride's bouquet.
Personal table color
Do you prefer several free-standing tables to long U-shaped tables? This means there is a reason to decorate them individually. Let each table have its own shade of the rainbow, which will be in harmony with the overall rainbow palette of the celebration.
Fun napkins
This necessary attribute of a feast can become an excellent rainbow decor and lift the spirits of all event participants. If you have difficulty finding multi-colored napkins, you can paint white ones. It’s easier to do this by dipping only part of the fabric into the paint. This will make the napkins look stylish. Colorful mini bouquets or ribbons can be used as napkin holders.
Features of a multi-colored wedding
Rainbow style decor is the use of seven basic colors at the same time. When designing various accessories, it is important to maintain the natural consistency of the spectrum. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet - this is the order the colors should follow.
Rainbow style involves the use of bright, rich tones. White color is used as a background; the number of black and gray elements should be kept to a minimum. The cars from the wedding cortege can be dark - such a deviation will not affect the perception of the celebration, especially if the cars are generously decorated with bright satin ribbons and balloons.
Pastel colors are not welcome at a rainbow wedding; they will look too artless or even dull.
Organizing a rainbow-themed wedding is considered a good omen for the start of family life. Rainbow is a positive symbol. In some religions it is interpreted as a divine throne, in others it is perceived as the path to Eden. And most ordinary people associate rainbows with childlike spontaneity and confidence that everything will be fine. Starting family life with a rainbow means living in joy and prosperity, without knowing any serious sorrows.
Rainbow weddings usually take place between May and September. In the cold season, more restrained design options are appropriate - rainbow tones against the backdrop of flying trees or snow cover look unnatural.
Rainbow garland
It can be easily constructed from a variety of items: satin ribbons, paper flags, wool pompoms, flowers, cards, etc. Ready-made garlands of plain light bulbs can be painted.
Accent Chairs
Covered in traditional white material, guest chairs can be decorated with several colorful ribbons, bows or flowers. If you have time and desire, the chairs can be painted in all shades of the rainbow.
Adviсe
Everything should be in moderation, including rainbow colors at a wedding. Therefore, it is better to choose neutral white or another pastel color as the background: sand, milky, complementing it with rainbow shades. The very combination of seven bright colors, considered primary, contradicts all design rules. Therefore, dose them without overloading the space.
Bright does not mean flashy or chaotic. Therefore, the bride can choose a traditional white outfit, complementing it with a bright rainbow bouquet, a multi-colored umbrella, and the groom - a rainbow neckerchief or tie. Let the groom's friends choose the same accessories, such as butterflies, and the bridesmaids can dress up in bright dresses.
Colored sweets
If it is difficult to keep the entire menu in a rainbow color, opt for a table for sweets and fruits. You can definitely decorate it in a multi-colored palette. Skewers with berries of different shades and colored mini-cupcakes look very appetizing and cheerful.
Rainbow wedding - a bright holiday in any season
Almost everything can be rainbow! Since I am very partial to a multi-colored theme, I couldn’t pass up such a recent trend as a rainbow wedding!
What do designers offer us to make the wedding unforgettable?
First, let's try to dress the bride ! If in the animal world a peacock is brighter than a peahen, a drake is brighter than a duck (and this is biologically expedient), then in humans it’s the opposite!
No, the bride barefoot in the photo is extravagant, but only trained girls can carry out the entire wedding like this. Most would prefer to be wearing stunning shoes! Shoes in any of the rainbow colors will do. You can pair rainbow shoes with a not too long dress.
If bright colors still fit into the perception of others, then you can use rainbow makeup and decorate your hair according to the theme.
also accessories for the groom !
Although the groom does not look so bright, ties, socks, shirts, jackets, etc. can be multi-colored! Everything is selected to match the bride's dress.
Bridesmaids ! All come here! There is a great chance to choose exactly the color that suits you best! All that remains is to come to an agreement with the rest of the young ladies... and rainbow chaos is on its way out!
If the wedding is planned in the “Beach” format, then bright colors are even more appropriate:
If the wedding is a little more conservative, then accessories can become rainbow - shoes, belts, scarves, jewelry.
There are options for men too. Groom's friends
The bride's bouquet can be ANYTHING! Fresh flowers and cold porcelain flowers, buttons and decorations - everything should be in a single theme, in the colors of the rainbow, should match the bride’s dress and be desirable for unmarried ladies!
Rings and accessories for them
Rainbow rings are often found on the Internet. They are made from precious metals and decorated with multi-colored enamel and inserts of precious stones of different colors. Very beautiful! BUT!... these rings are recommended for same-sex weddings, mainly for gays. )) Here we are talking not so broadly, although rosy, but traditionally... Therefore, I decided to limit myself to accessories for rings.)
Invitations for guests in colorful envelopes.
The decor of the room with varying degrees of “iridescence” depends on the imagination of the organizer, and, of course, on the financial capabilities of the organizers.

Rainbow curtains
The background for the place where the young people will sit at the table should be the most noticeable and solemn. To make bare walls look softer, more voluminous and expressive, they are decorated with curtains. Why not make them rainbow? For a more impressive picture, you can continue the decor on the tablecloth.
Decorating the hall with balloons
A large number of balloons (single or in the form of garlands) are appropriate in large banquet halls. In small cafes, it is better to decorate the entrance or ceiling with balloons (several helium balloons with beautiful ribbons).
Decorating the hall with balloons
The easiest way to create a wall decoration behind the newlyweds is to create a garland. It can be either volumetric or multi-row, flat.
Decorating the hall with balloons
Light helium balloons can be tied individually in a row on a fishing line, arranging the balloons according to the colors of the rainbow. Or create as many as seven such garlands, each of which will be a different color. The ends of the threads on which the balls are fixed should be firmly secured to the wall, furniture or any weight so that the entire composition does not fly away.
Decorating the hall with balloons
Perhaps the most durable and neat composition consists of balloons and a frame, which is made of plywood, cardboard or thin plastic. On a sheet of plywood, draw seven stripes curved in an arc and drill a hole in each strip. Simply inflate the balls with a small pump and attach them to the plywood with a rope. All that remains is to place the composition on the wall or in another convenient place.
Decorating the hall with balloons
Oriental flavor
Paper lanterns, characteristic of Eastern culture, are gaining popularity in the West. Hanging throughout the room, they fill the house with an atmosphere of peace and prosperity. This is a great option for wedding decor. Lanterns of different shades will look especially colorful and joyful.
