Spring weddings
Spring is all about renewal, soft light, and fresh growth. These palettes lean into gentle pastels, garden greens, and airy neutrals that feel effortless in daylight.
The quintessential garden-wedding palette. Ballet pink and dusty rose stay romantic without tipping into sweet, while sage green and a rose-gold accent keep it grounded and modern.
Lavender and wisteria give you a color story that photographs beautifully at golden hour. Ash gray and pearl calm the purples so the whole thing reads elegant, not costumey.
Your 'something blue,' built into the whole day. Ice and powder blues carry the ceremony, cornflower and midnight add depth for evening, and silver ties it to classic formalwear.
Creamy peach and apricot with a fresh hit of celadon green — sunny and optimistic. This one is lovely for brunch receptions and citrus-forward tablescapes.
A whimsical, gathered-from-the-field look. Buttery banana, mauve, and periwinkle feel hand-picked, and pistachio green stitches the bouquet-inspired mix together.
Summer weddings
Summer invites saturation and sunshine. Whether you're on the coast or in a courtyard, these palettes turn up the vibrancy while keeping a crisp, breezy base.
Sun-washed lemon and saffron against true cobalt and olive green — a Mediterranean palette that feels like a summer holiday. Perfect for lemon groves, tiled courtyards, and blue-and-white china.
A breezy coastal scheme. Seashell and sand set a soft base, seafoam and Tiffany blue bring the water in, and coral pink is the warm, happy accent for a beach or harbor wedding.
For couples who want bold. Hot heliconia pink, mango, and marigold burn like a real sunset, with jade green as the lush, tropical counterweight. Not for the faint of heart — in the best way.
Autumn weddings
Fall is the season of warmth, texture, and depth. These palettes trade pastels for spice, earth, and rich, dinner-party jewel tones.
Warm and earthy without being heavy. Oatmeal and tumbleweed keep it light, while terracotta, rust, and moss green deliver that sun-baked, high-desert mood.
The definitive luxe-autumn palette. Champagne and nude pink soften deep marsala and burgundy, and a copper accent adds metallic glow to candlelit receptions.
Rustic and cozy. Wheat and honey glow like late-afternoon light, burnt orange and fern green nod to the harvest, and chocolate brown anchors a barn or vineyard setting.
A fully tonal, of-the-moment neutral run — from almond and nude down through mocha mousse, coffee, and espresso. Sophisticated, warm, and endlessly easy to accessorize.
Saturated and regal. Sapphire, emerald, ruby, and byzantium purple play off a goldenrod accent for a rich, opulent celebration that shines under low light.
Winter weddings
Winter is made for contrast, glamour, and quiet, frosty elegance. These palettes range from icy and serene to full black-tie drama.
A classic holiday-season pairing done tastefully. Snow and pewter keep it fresh, while cranberry and hunter green bring the festive warmth without feeling like decorations.
Evening glamour. Pearl and champagne shimmer against gunmetal and Prussian blue, with a dark-goldenrod glow — ideal for a black-tie ballroom after dark.
Cool, serene, and modern. White smoke and ice gray with steel and a deep petrol accent feel like frosted glass — beautiful for minimalist winter ceremonies.
Maximum contrast. Off white and platinum with gold, charcoal, and jet black is as formal as it gets — a true black-tie palette for a dramatic, high-shine affair.
Any-season classics
A few palettes are so versatile they work whenever you're getting married. These are the reliable, style-forward choices when the season isn't driving your decision.
Dramatic and romantic. Nude pink is shadowed by plum, aubergine, wine, and oxblood for a dark, moody scheme that suits candlelight and film photography year-round.
The internet's favorite for a reason. Ivory and light steel blue with slate, ash gray, and sage is the beloved dusty-blue-and-eucalyptus look — soft, timeless, and easy to source.
For the minimalist couple. Off white, putty, and greige with stone and anthracite is refined and quiet — a neutral palette that lets architecture, florals, and food do the talking.
How to choose your wedding palette
If you're staring at all twenty and feeling stuck, narrow it down with a few quick filters. Start with your season and venue — daylight, greenery, and architecture will either fight or flatter your colors. Next, pick one hero color you genuinely love and build support around it rather than giving five colors equal weight. Then pull one deep anchor and one light neutral so your palette has contrast for both bright ceremonies and dim receptions.
When you land on a favorite, open the palette and copy the exact codes to share with every vendor — that's how you keep the blush in your invitations matching the blush in your flowers.
