Looking for a simple yet elegant way for your wedding decorations to shine? Try simple lines and contrasting colors to provide elegance and beauty to your wedding day.

This simple style, taken from modern decorations, is key for a understated yet gorgeous wedding. Choosing colors that complement each other is the best way to make this contemporary look stand out.

For example, the pearl white and sky blue borders on this modern wedding invitation provide a unique contrast. While it highlights the wedding invitation, it does not overwhelm the card or blind. The trick to making these color combinations work is to find color schemes that work well together.

Other great color matches for this style of wedding invitations are mocha on ecru, navy on cream, and pearl with tropical aqua blue. These unique wedding invitations will dazzle and delight your wedding guests, and set the tone for your wedding ceremony and reception.

Clean lines and bold colors also work for your wedding reception. Long elegant table runners set the basic color scheme for the affair. Contrasting ribbons tied to wine glasses and wedding bouquets will provide similar lines and let your colors truly shimmer.

A single red rose amongst a bouquet of white calla lilies can also give off the simple contrast you need to really stand out. Experiment with your favorite colors and styles, to create a unique wedding day that highlights your personality.
