1. Earthy Neutrals: Warm, Nature-Inspired Tones

For couples who want to make a statement, emerald green, sapphire blue, deep burgundy, and amethyst purple are trending in 2025. These colors bring a luxurious, regal feel to any wedding.

How to Use It:

• Combine jewel tones with black or metallics for a high-contrast, sophisticated look.

Sunset-inspired palettes— burnt orange, deep coral, mustard yellow, and soft pink —are taking over 2025 wedding trends. These wedding colors create a fun, warm, and inviting atmosphere.

How to Use It:

1. Consider Your Venue

Your wedding venue plays a significant role in determining the best wedding color palette. Outdoor garden weddings pair beautifully with soft pastels, while industrial loft venues complement moody jewel tones or black and white themes.

2. Think About the Season

• Spring & Summer: Light, airy wedding colors like pastel blues, sage greens, and soft pinks.
• Fall: Earthy tones like rust, terracotta, and mustard yellow.
• Winter: Deep, dramatic jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire, and burgundy.

3. Stay True to Your Personal Style

While trends are fun to follow, choose a wedding color palette that feels authentic to you and your partner. Consider your favorite colors, home decor style, and the mood you want to create.

4. Use a Three-Color Formula

A good rule of thumb is to choose:

• A primary color (the dominant shade used in decor, attire, etc.).
• A secondary color (a complementing shade that enhances the main color).
• An accent color (a bold or metallic detail that adds contrast).

For example, a dusty blue primary color could be paired with sage green as a secondary color and gold as an accent.

Invitations & Stationery

Your wedding invitations are the first glimpse into your wedding aesthetic. Use your wedding color palette in:

• Invitation designs
• RSVP cards
• Wedding websites

Bridesmaids’ Dresses & Attire

Mismatched bridesmaids' dresses in different shades of the same color create a stylish, modern effect. For example, if your color scheme is dusty rose, bridesmaids can wear varying tones of blush, mauve, and champagne.

Floral Arrangements

Work with your florist to select seasonal blooms that match your wedding colors. Incorporate dried flowers, wild greenery, or bold statement flowers for added texture and depth.

Table Settings & Decor

Your wedding color palette can be highlighted through:

• Table runners and linens
• Candles and glassware
• Napkins and menu cards

Wedding Cake & Desserts

From pastel ombré cakes to bold, black-and-gold designs, your cake can be an artistic representation of your wedding colors.
