1. Swap confetti or rice for bright pom poms.

11. Tint the traditional champagne toast with a hint of color.

12. Trade traditional flowers for fabric ones.

Attach some curled ribbons for extra whimsy.

13. Opt for an unexpected color scheme.

Turquoise, orange, purple, and pink. Why not?

14. Remember that wedding dresses don't have to be all white.

Experiment with add-on fabrics or dip dyes. The effect can be as bold or as subtle as you'd like.

15. Hang colorful ribbons from the ceiling at the reception...

Or behind the ceremony site.

Bonus points if your groomsmen match the parachute.

19. Stock the bar with colorful sodas.

20. Give each bridesmaid their own hue.

Your bridal bouquet can include a mix of all the flowers.

21. Add a layer.

Don a colorful cardigan or wrap when the sun starts to set.

22. Don't forget the cufflinks.

These are $12 on Etsy, and come in dozens of colors.

23. Play around with unique decor and accents.

Because the world can only handle so many mason jars.

24. Use paint chips as seat markers.

25. Amp up a neutral table setting with napkins that pop.

26. Sprinkles!

27. Incorporate a bold prop, like a bicycle...

Or a bus.

Bold indeed.

28. Set up colorful lawn games...

29. Or a piñata!

Ready, set, COLOR!
