Your wedding color palette is more than a choice of hues ~ it creates atmosphere, ambiance, and expresses your unique style as a couple! Whether you envision a dark romantic vibe or a warm array of bright colors, let’s dive into the most heavenly color palettes to help inspire your dream wedding.

Jewel Tones: Bold & Romantic

This color palette is perfect for autumn or winter weddings. These dark, rich colors create a regal and enchanting look. Think ruby reds, deep emerald greens, sapphire blues, and dark violet hues. These tones can be used in floral arrangements or bridesmaids dresses. Jewel tones are universally flattering and enhance any venue with its dark and alluring look. Paired with gold accents these colors will really pop! Jewel tones are a great choice as they offer a luxurious and sophisticated look to any wedding!

Sage Green & Earthy Neutrals: Simple & Elegant

Sage green and neutrals are a great pick for spring and summer weddings! Sage green has taken weddings by storm ~ and with good reason. Sage green goes well with outdoor venues, pairs beautifully with all types of skin tones and blends seamlessly with other colors. Sage green is perfect to pair with creamy whites or earthy neutrals that will emphasize its natural elegance and create a harmonious aesthetic. Not to mention, sage green evokes a calm and soothing feeling, subconsciously creating a peaceful atmosphere for you and your guests!

Garden Party Pastels: Charming & Whimsical

Garden party pastels bring a light, airy feel to any wedding. This color palette is wonderful for outdoor venues and serves as a touch of elegance to any decor or attire. This color palette flows effortlessly into a spring or summer celebration. Pale pinks, baby blues, light yellow and mint green are a dream combination to create that fairytale feel. These colors are more feminine and romantic and are intertwined effortlessly with floral-patterned tableware, bouquets and bridesmaid dresses. Using a garden party pastel is a wonderful option and accents not only your ideal venue, but adds a splash of color to your day.

Sunset Hues: Warm & Vibrant

Golden hour done right! Adding bright warm colors to your wedding is perfect for couples who love bold and cheerful colors. Peach, coral, mustard and burnt orange, all mimic the beauty of a sunset. This color palette goes hand and hand with the summer season and brings an energetic yet romantic vibe to the day. If you’re dreaming of a boho outdoor venue or destination wedding, incorporating warm tones can make a stunning impact! Bridesmaid dresses incorporating all colors is an excellent idea, as well as adding some colorful floral arrangements to brighten the tables or wedding cake. Warm flickering candles can help set the scene and an array of different colors in the bouquet adds delicate details that create that sunset look. Ride off into the sunset in style and consider a vibrant color palette choice!

Black & White with a Pop of Color: Classic & Timeless

Tradition is always a fantastic option, and black and white is still the cornerstone of any wedding. Tied with an accent color of your choice, this timeless color palette steals hearts time and time again! Sleek tuxedos and pure white wedding gowns will always be timeless, but throwing in a pop of color whether that is in the bridesmaid dresses or florals, maintains that classy feel with a modern twist. If you are looking for a chic look that goes perfectly with any season, this may be a palette to consider!

Your wedding color palette is important in letting you as a couple shine! Whether you are drawn to jewel tones, light blues, dusky pinks or sage green, remember to curate your wedding palette to reflect your distinctive style and what feels right for you. Pick your favorite colors, mix and match, and most importantly enjoy being creative in enhancing your special day!
