Be clear and specific. Instead of saying "We want our guests to wear light colors," specify the exact colors you have in mind. For example, "We would love for our guests to wear shades of blue, green, and lavender."
Provide options. It's helpful to provide guests with a range of options to choose from. For example, if you want pastel colors, you could suggest "light blue, mint green, and lavender" or "blush pink, peach, and champagne."
Include a note in the wedding invitation. This is the most formal way to communicate your color suggestions to guests. Include a line in the invitation, stating "Color suggestion: shades of blue, green, and lavender."
Create a wedding website. A wedding website is a great way to share all the details of your wedding, including the dress code. You can specify your color suggestions, provide color swatches, and even create a Pinterest board with inspiration. Include the website address on the wedding invitation.
Be understanding. Some guests may not be able to follow your color suggestions. Don't stress about it! The most important thing is that your guests feel comfortable and happy at your wedding.
