3 FUN SUMMER WEDDING PALETTES

Spring is finally here and that means summer is just around the corner! When trying to determine your wedding style, the color palette choices out there are never ending and sometimes get redundant with what is on trend, especially when you are looking on Pinterest. It can be hard to navigate new and unique ideas if you can’t find inspiration photos to back those ideas up! We wanted to offer a few more unusual color palettes for your summer wedding that we just love.

Keep in mind that when you are working with your planner and/or florist to nail down your floral palette that mother nature can be very unpredictable. This is actually a wonderful thing if you give your florist the freedom to source the best blooms and the power to make some last minute choices upon seeing what unexpected blooms are available at the flower market around the time of your wedding. By giving some wiggle room for your floral designer to work with, you will actually end up with more unusual shades, unexpected floral varieties and unique color combinations!

PURPLE + PEACH + CHARTREUSE

Pairing shades of purple such as lilac, plum, burgundy and mauve with the complimentary yellow hues found in peach and chartreuse is a sure way to make your wedding flowers pop!! The pinks and peaches in this palette give it a more summery vibe, rather than a fall feel. These colors would look gorgeous paired with gold accents and dusty mauve linens!

Quartz Linen - La Tavola

RED + GOLDEN PEACH + BLACK

Sunny and warm, these reddish-orange hues are softened by the golden peach and given a contemporary vibe with the black accents. The golden peach brightens up this palette and so does a linen on the brighter side.

NEUTRALS + CORAL + CITRUS

One can never go wrong with monochromatic! Pairing shades of pink, neutrals, muted coral and salmon is a soft way to create a striking tablescape. Adding citrus is an easy way to make any palette more summery. While you’re at it, add some grapes, pears, dragon fruit and whatever else you can find in the produce section that accents the blooms!
