Choosing your wedding color palette is one of the most exciting steps in planning your big day. The right colors set the tone, tie together your décor, and reflect your personal style as a couple. But with so many shades, trends, and combinations to choose from, how do you narrow it down? Here are some simple steps to guide you.
1. Start With Your Venue ✨
Your ceremony or reception space can help guide your color choices. A rustic barn pairs beautifully with earthy greens, neutrals, and pops of bold tones, while a ballroom setting often calls for timeless palettes like navy and blush.
Fall → warm rusts, mustard, burgundy, and forest greens.
Winter → deep emeralds, icy blues, silver, and plum.
3. Consider Your Wedding Vibe 💍
Are you envisioning a boho-chic celebration, a rustic barn wedding, or a modern, minimal event? Your vibe helps narrow down shades that make sense for your overall theme.
4. Coordinate With Your Bridal Party 👗
Bridesmaid dresses are often a big part of your palette. Choose colors available from popular dress brands, then pull accent shades for florals, décor, and stationery.
5. Test It With Florals 💐
Flowers bring your palette to life. Fresh blooms aren’t your only option—our sola wood flowers can be custom-dyed to match any color scheme. That means your bouquet can coordinate perfectly with dresses, linens, and décor while lasting as a keepsake long after the wedding.
