How to Choose a Perfect Wedding Color Palette?

The journey to finding your ideal wedding colors begins here. Before you get to picking palettes with your partner, why not look at some parameters that matter?

The following vital aspects will help in shaping your wedding’s visual identity.

#1 Consider Your Wedding Season

The time of your wedding can provide great inspiration in deciding the color palette. Each season has its own unique charm and associated hues that can beautifully complement your celebration.

a) Summer

For a summer wedding, think of colors that evoke the warmth and vibrancy of the sun. Citrus shades like lemon yellow and lime green add a zesty, energetic touch to your decor. 

Alternatively, opt for the soft, dreamy hues of Sunlight, with its golden yellows and warm whites, or the bold, celebratory tones of Rainbow for a truly unforgettable affair.

b) Fall

As leaves turn golden and the air gets crisp, fall weddings call for rich, warm colors. Think deep reds, burnt oranges, and golden yellows.

Our Earth tone palette captures the essence of autumn perfectly. It's like a walk through a forest on a crisp fall day, surrounded by nature's changing colors.

Want something a bit more dramatic? Our Golden Canyon palette might just be it. With a mix of deep burgundies and warm golds, it's as captivating as a desert sunset.

c) Winter

Winter weddings have a magic all their own. They're the perfect time to embrace deep, luxurious colors or go for a crisp, clean look.

Our Bordeaux palette is winter sophistication at its finest. Deep reds, purples, and burgundies create a cozy, intimate atmosphere that's perfect for those chilly winter nights.

On the flip side, our Elegant White palette brings the beauty of a winter wonderland to life. It's clean, it's classic, and it's utterly timeless.

d) Spring

Celebrate the season of fresh beginnings and renewals with a spring-inspired color palette that breathes life into your celebration. 

The Pastel palette offers soft, romantic hues like blush pink, lavender, and mint green, creating an ethereal atmosphere reminiscent of blossoming nature and new possibilities. 

For a touch of serenity, our sky palette features light blues and crisp whites, evoking the feeling of a clear spring day wedding.

#2 Reflect on Your Personal Style

Your wedding colors should be a reflection of you as a couple. Are you bold and daring, or more subtle and understated? Do you love the classics, or are you all about the latest trends?

Take a peek in your closet. What colors do you gravitate towards in your everyday life? These can be great starting points for your wedding palette.

And remember, there's no rule that says you have to stick to traditional wedding colors. If you both love neon green, why not incorporate it? 

Your wedding, your rules!

#3 Think About Your Venue

Your venue plays a huge role in your color story. A rustic barn wedding might call for different hues than a sleek city loft celebration.

Consider the existing colors in your venue. If you're getting married in a space with bold wallpaper or colorful carpets, you'll want to choose a palette that complements rather than clashes with these elements.

#4 Factor in Cultural Significance

Colors carry deep cultural meanings. So, if you and your partner wish to incorporate cultural traditions into the wedding, now is a good time to discuss preferences.

Red, for example, is a traditional color in many Asian cultures, symbolizing luck, joy, and prosperity. Gold is often associated with wealth and luxury, while white represents purity and new beginnings.

#5 Consult with a floral expert

Does choosing a palette seem like too much work? Don’t worry, you don’t have to do it alone. Our floral experts can help you navigate the rainbow and find the perfect palette that brings your wedding vision to life.
