When devising a wedding colour palette that suits you, choosing a scheme that reflects your personal style is just the beginning. The beauty of the season also provides the perfect inspiration, with the warming, vibrant and uplifting tones of summer particularly fitting for one of the happiest days of your life.
Whether it’s trendy and bold schemes that appeal to you or timeless and classic, the following summer-inspired palettes provide a solid foundation for a wedding day that is certain to be cherished for years to come.
The ultimate glow-up
With Peach Fuzz the Pantone Colour of the Year, sunset-inspired schemes are set to be all the rage during 2024.
Bring the beauty of a summer sunset to your wedding palette by combining warm oranges, blush pinks and soft purples. On-trend, dreamy and utterly romantic, this captivating colour combo is the very essence of long summer evenings and will guarantee the glow-up your wedding day truly deserves.
Wild and wonderful
Wildflower meadows are at their best during spring and summer, so it’s no surprise that they’re influencing our wedding days. Outdoor décor is always popular at summer weddings, but keep your wedding colours as pared-back as possible to reflect the true nature of our native meadows.
Soft greens, delicate yellows and muted lavender tones work perfectly for couples looking to recreate the charming and sophisticated atmosphere of a wildflower meadow on their summer wedding day. For the best and most natural results, forage your very own floral arrangements or choose underrated flowers and foliage to add interest and character to professionally arranged displays.
From the tropics
From native blooms to floral inspiration from a little further afield, this tropical colour palette is bright, bold and beautiful. Use vibrant corals, lively yellows and lush greens to transport guests to their very own tropical paradise, throwing in some exotic flower varieties (such as orchids and hibiscus) to cement your theme.
Calming coastal cool
Bring the beach to your country venue by embracing this refreshingly timeless summer vibe on your upcoming wedding day.
Think serene blues, aqua greens and crisp whites for an ocean-fresh theme that’s tranquil and cool. While there’s an option to add nautical elements or subtle beach-inspired details, going back to basics will ensure an elegant palette that’s perfectly at home no matter how far away you are from the coastline.
Going for gold
Metallic accents are popular from season to season, but this summer, it’s all about gold. Elegant, opulent and glamourous, gold is a classic colour that works well in any venue and with any theme.
Lesser-known shade, Verdigris, is the perfect colour to pair with on-trend gold this summer, with its bluish-greenish hue one of the top combinations of 2024 as Wedding Forward details:
“Dive into elegance with Verdigris — a muted green with a touch of blue, symbolising growth and renewal. Blend it seamlessly with gold for vintage allure or with coral for a lively and fresh palette. Choosing Verdigris is an invitation to celebrate fresh beginnings, infusing weddings with a harmonious and renewing spirit. Suited for a Vintage or Garden theme, this hue transforms outdoor venues, crafting a timeless and enchanting atmosphere.”
