The first step to building a wedding that best suits your personality is picking your color palette! The reason why choosing your palette firsthand is so important is because once your palette is chosen, everything follows. The florals, the suits, the bridesmaid dresses, the linens, the table centers, everything! Finding a palette that makes achieving cohesiveness throughout your entire day is important, but finding a palette that best suits you is what takes the cake. So where do you start? Keep reading to learn our best tips on finding the perfect color palette for your big day!
Before you pick your curated palette, you must pick which season you are getting married in. The time of year you plan on getting married surprisingly can have a big effect on which colors look the best for your wedding! Not only are some florals more expensive to ship during specific times of the year, but spring colors might not look the best two weeks before Christmas.
Once your wedding date is solidified, you can jump on Pinterest and start your browsing. During this step we suggest creating a new board for color palette inspiration and pinning anything and everything that jumps out to you. Once you have built your board, it will be easier to decide on which colors you really want for your big day. We suggest sticking to just 3-5 colors to keep it simple for your vendors with just enough variety. Here are our favorite color palette inspirations for all four seasons of the year!

SPRING
We don’t know about you, but spring is one of our favorite seasons! Not only is the weather beautiful, but spring wedding colors are just so fun! A mixture of pastel colors with warm neutrals is the perfect combination for a mid-spring wedding. If you are struggling with ideas, we suggest adding colors such as peach, pastel yellow, and pale or forest green. With this color palette, you really can’t go wrong!
SUMMER
Let us tell you, there are so many good options for colors for summer weddings. During this season you can add pops of color to every part of your day. To achieve a cohesive summer palette, we suggest adding colors such as mustard yellow, navy blue, pale blue, and an accent of cream to tie it all in. Summer is a fun season to get married in because there really isn’t a palette that won’t look good and there are so many floral options to choose from!
AUTUMN
Bring us allll the fall colors! Talk about burnt orange, terra-cotta, deep teel, dark brown and taupe. No matter where you’re getting married at or what part of autumn you’re in, these colors will look stunning no matter what. We have been to several fall weddings and have been obsessed with every single one! The best thing about fall colors is there are so many options for decorations when it comes to warmer tones. Bring on the Pampas grass, basket holders, and fall-inspired candles!
WINTER
There is one thing we know we all love about winter, and that is the holidays! While you are not limited to having a holiday-themed wedding, they sure are beautiful! With decorative evergreen trees, festive holly berries, and Christmas ornaments, your holiday themed wedding would be an unforgettable evening. For your perfect winter wedding, we suggest adding pops of color like dusty lavender, dark emerald green, deep plum, and soft white! With these colors, you are sure to achieve the winter wonderland wedding of your dreams!
