2. Encore metallics. Brides continue to embrace copper, rose gold, and pewter because theyre so versatile, says Sara Fried, of Fete Nashville. Not only do they work with other colors for a look thats at once relaxed and fun, they are ideal tones for a black-tie evening. Pro tip: Use shine strategically, says Sarah Chancey, founder of Chancey Charm Weddings, in Atlanta and 11 other cities. Metallic linens on every table is too much: better to save the shine for the head and display tables.
