Where to use each color

Bridesmaid dresses#8BA6BE · #2E3F55Mix dusty blue and deep navy dresses in velvet or satin. Long sleeves or faux-fur wraps keep everyone warm for outdoor photos.

Flowers#F8F4EA · #7E8C6E · #7A2E3AUse white ranunculus, hellebores and anemones with cedar and eucalyptus. Add burgundy calla lilies or dark ranunculus for depth.

Invitations#F8F4EA · #2E3F55 · #C9A86APrint navy text on ivory cotton paper with a gold foil detail. A vellum wrap reads like frost.

Tips

In-season flowers in January include hellebores, ranunculus, anemones, amaryllis and tulips; they cost less than peonies.
Sunset can come before 5 p.m., so plan portraits early and light the reception with candles and warm string lights.
Choose heavier fabrics like velvet, crepe and satin; they photograph richly and keep guests warm.
Venues are often discounted in January, so put the savings toward lighting and florals.
Snow reads blue in photos, so warm accents like gold, blush or burgundy keep skin tones healthy.
