Wedding Color Ideas Using This Years Best Trends

Yellow With Silver or Grey

Yellow – especially bright yellow – is super hot. Mix it with true silver or pewter grey and it’s practically on fire. Yellow is a splendid color for wedding invitations, too, because it attracts the eye like bees to honey.

According to color psychology, yellow is associated with laughter, happiness and good times (things that never go out of style).

Yellow Baby Blue and Navy

Here’s a really fresh and simple color combination and it gives you lots of ways to save, too. Try mixing a pretty shade of yellow – this is different than lemon yellow, it’s a little softer – with baby blue and then adding Navy for dramatic emphasis and grounding.

Navy makes a beautiful background for punchy yellow and the baby blues lighten the whole palette up. Now, how do you save money with this? Add white, stick with simple yellow flowers and lots of greens. How pretty is that?

Red With Black And White

Red, white and black is always in fashion... but you want to be fashion-forward, right? In order to do that, you need a dramatic twist on things, and for that I suggest playing with interesting displays and textures.

Imagine classic red roses displayed in simple glass vases on white table cloths (remember how you can save with white linen?) layered in black and white feathers... that’s about as divine as it gets. And it stays within the budget, too! In this instance, red, white or super dramatic black invitations would announce your exciting intentions. This dramatic look would be enhanced by damask invites, too.

White On White With Soft Greens and Browns

Here are two simple suggestions for picking winter wedding color palettes: either warm your guests up, color-wise, or go with the season and keep it icy. What does that mean?  There are warm colors, like reds and golds and yellows. There are cool colors like blues and greens and metallics like silver and pewter. So fiddle around with what combos you like, warm or cool, and carry that mood throughout your winter wedding theme.

Pink on Pink

I really love the idea of playing with the same color in different shapes, textures and elements. That is, take a great color like hot pink and pull together a series of flowers that are grown in hot pink. You’ll find the list is long, from roses to lilies, carnations, freesia, Gerbera daisy and so on. This will give not only depth and vivid color but also texture that automatically makes your bouquet and flowers look bigger (and by extension, more expensive) than you’d think!

Pink And Orange Is Playful And Fun

Pink and orange as a wedding color scheme is really darling, I think. It evokes all kinds of floral memories for me, from bursting bouquets of bright hot colors to pink and orange Zinnia flowers lined up against a white picket fence long ago.

Try using bold pinks with oranges in a few shades, from tangerine to golden yellow. Include some touches of white in your linens and flowers, and as always if you want to save money, use lots of greens in your bouquets and the rest of your floral decor.

Orange With Green

Orange you glad you’re reading this page? I know a brilliant designer who likes to use orange mostly because so few people use orange! So, if you want to be unique, start with this gorgeous citrus hue and add other fresh and mouth-watering colors like lime green and marigold yellow.

Orange is an ideal color for any sort of tropical or beach wedding, and it works really well as the basis for a fall wedding, too. Oranges toward the melon side are really pretty for spring and since the word orange is said not to rhyme with anything, nobody will make fun of your colors.
