As your luxury wedding planner based in Los Angeles, I bring you fresh ideas, advice, and the latest trends every Monday to help make your wedding planning journey as smooth and stylish as possible.

Why Focus on Wedding Planning on Mondays? Mondays signify a fresh start—a perfect moment to set intentions for your wedding preparations for the week ahead. Whether you’re just starting to plan your big day or putting the finishing touches on your celebration, let’s kickstart this week with actionable advice and inspirational tips.

This Week’s Focus: Choosing Your Wedding Color Palette Selecting a color scheme is one of the most exciting parts of planning your wedding. It sets the tone for the entire event and influences every element from your invitations to your floral arrangements. Here’s how to pick the perfect palette that reflects your style and story.

1. Consider the Venue: Look at the colors of your venue’s walls, carpets, curtains, and existing décor. Choosing a palette that complements the venue will enhance your wedding’s overall aesthetic.
2. Think Seasonally: The time of year can play a big role in your color choice. Soft pastels are beautiful in spring, while rich tones like burgundy and navy can be perfect for a winter wedding.
3. Personal Preference: Your favorite colors should play a part in the decision. After all, this day is a reflection of you and your partner.
4. Create Mood Boards: Use tools like Pinterest to gather images that inspire you. Seeing how colors work together in various settings can help solidify your vision.
5. Consult a Professional: Don’t hesitate to ask for advice from your wedding planner—that’s what we’re here for!

Ask Marshecka This week’s question comes from Brianna in San Francisco: “How do I ensure my wedding day reflects our personalities?”

Brianna, infusing your personality into your wedding day comes down to the details. Personalize elements that guests will interact with, such as your vows, menu choices, and even the favors. Each choice is an opportunity to express your unique story and tastes.

Let this Monday be the start of a week filled with great decisions and beautiful discoveries in your wedding planning journey. Next Monday, we’ll explore how to select the best vendors to bring your vision to life. Remember, planning your wedding should be a joyous journey, not a stressful sprint.
