I like light colors for weddings. When it’s dark it’s doesn’t exude happiness in my opinion!

Hmmm, I'm not sure. We haven't even picked our colors yet, but so far I'm leaning more towards dark.

Wow this sounds like a really interesting palette-2 shades of complimentary colors-it should really look special!

Ooh, I don't know why, but I immediately thought of chocolate when I read "rich, dark, moody." Is your wedding having a dark color scheme, Katie?

Mostly dark: wine and grey (medium shade) with rose gold and copper accents. Plus our space was pretty dark/dramatic.
