Choosing the perfect color scheme for your wedding is an important (and stressful) step in wedding planning! There are SO. MANY. choices. But, have no fear, we have some inspiration for you from some of our past weddings! 

Reading up on wedding themes and colors, we found that Pantone released the 2023 color of the year recently. According to them, the color of the year is Viva Magenta and it is this beautiful shade of red shown below. They have lots to say about the inspiration behind this beautiful color, but we love the vibrance and positivity of this shade.

Emerald green is a popular color for ANY season and any weather! We see a lot of weddings with emerald green. You can pair emerald green with a blush, baby blue, or greys, each pairing having many different vibes.

We also LOVE earth tones like the bouquet and suit below. Especially summer and fall weddings! Earth tones include lots of shades of greens, terracotta, tans, and browns.

Julie loves all things PINK! Pink is a timeless color for a soft and romantic feel for your wedding. It pairs beautifully with white and different kinds of greenery.

Blue is a great color to use in the spring or summer months as there is such a wide shade range. There is a lot you can do with blue and florals, such as having bright flowers paired with a bridesmaid’s dress like below (one of our planner Sydney’s all-time favorites). Alternatively, you can mix blue with white, greens, or pinks.

Navy blue is also a good option (strongly supported by our planner Samantha)! These napkins were a hit:

Whatever colors you choose for your wedding, make it something that represents you, whether that is bright and vibrant, classic and simple, or anywhere in between!
