Of all the factors that go into planning a wedding, one of the main aspects that’s probably at the very top of your list is choosing the perfect color palette. It’s such a fun part of wedding planning! And because there are so many different options to choose from, we at Modern Brides think that one of the best ways to choose a wedding color palette is to get inspired by the season you’re getting married in.
Why does the season matter? Well, there are certain colors that just pop more depending on what season it is. For instance, a gorgeous shade of crimson will look incredible for a winter wedding, but it might not feel right for a spring wedding.
Today we’re going to share some ideas for color palettes depending on what season you’re getting married in! Let’s get started with some options for a beautiful summer wedding:
SUMMER WEDDINGS
(JUNE-AUGUST)
It is impossible to overstate how beautiful summer weddings are! Tropical color palettes of blue, yellow, or pink are ideal for beach weddings, gardens, or rooftops. To add variety to your color palette, you can also choose a favorite color (such as blue), then add lighter shades of blue like periwinkle, turquoise, cyan, and aquamarine.
FALL WEDDING
(SEPTEMBER-NOVEMBER)
Play around with darker colors during weddings in the fall - think burgundy, purple, red, and rust. Cream with dark purple is also beautiful. Metallic and gold pops always make these color palettes pop! For an idea of what colors are, you can look at the colors you see in nature. When oranges, reds, and browns are used together, a rustic look can be achieved.
WINTER WEDDING
(DECEMBER-FEBRUARY)
There is something magical about a winter wedding! It seems like the list of colors we associate with winter weddings is always growing, from the classic festive colors to variations on copper, metallics, pinks, frosted pastels, greys, blues, and so much more. Winter is the time for bold colors, like burgundy, deep green, and dark teal.
SPRING WEDDINGS
(MARCH-MAY)
Thanks to the blooming flowers and the warmer weather, your spring wedding is sure to be a beautiful affair! We find that brides who want a spring wedding tend to lean toward pastels, though you can feel free to explore a wide variety of beautiful spring shades. You’re not limited to pastel blues or pinks! We love a color palette that incorporates shades of green and cream with little pops of corals and other happy colors like yellow.
