Wedding Colour Schemes For Each Season

Wedding Colour Schemes For Each Season

Congratulations, you’re getting married! You may still be staring at your new engagement ring in wonder, letting it all sink in but soon you’ll have to start thinking about the kind of wedding you want and making plans. Don’t worry – it’s not as daunting as you might think! In this article, we’ll take a closer look at which colours suit the different seasons to help you decide on that all-important wedding colour scheme.

Spring

Spring is the season for new life when the world starts to turn green and the skies blue after a long winter. This makes it the perfect time to embrace pastel colours in your wedding, from soft blush pinks and peachy shades to pale blues and sage greens. In terms of spring flowers for your bridal bouquet, you’ll have plenty to choose from including tulips, sweet peas, lily of the valley and peonies.

Summer

Summer is the season of sunshine and summer weddings are often a celebration of colour with plenty of choice for couples choosing to get married during this season. You can still incorporate the muted pastel shades of spring or go a step further with brights like hot pink, yellow and orange. Alternatively, you might want to stick to a neutral palette with pops of your favourite colour, like blue or purple. Roses are a popular choice for summer wedding flowers, along with dahlias, iris, delphiniums, nigella and lavender.

Autumn

Autumn is a beautiful season for weddings, with mother nature leading the way with her riot of red, orange and gold leaves that lend themselves so perfectly to outdoor wedding photography. If you’re planning to get married in autumn, this is the season to embrace earthy tones, from rich terracotta to berry reds and forest greens. Autumn wedding flowers include gerberas, hydrangeas and calla lilies. You might also want to incorporate berries into your autumn bouquet in a nod to the season.

Winter

Winter weddings lend themselves wonderfully to rustic neutrals like white, ivory and taupe, perfect for an understated, classic look. If a bit of shine and shimmer is more your thing, then metallics are also a fantastic choice for winter – think silver and ice-blue like a winter sky, black and gold for the opulence of party season or gold and copper glamour that would work brilliantly for a wedding at either Christmas or New Year.

Many couples worry that they have to avoid the traditional festive colours of red and green if they’re getting married in December but if you both love Christmas there’s no reason why you can’t embrace the festive season with rich reds and deep greens in your wedding colur palette. Winter wedding flowers include roses and poinsettias, along with holly, ivy and festive berries for your bouquet, after all – this is your wedding!

In Summary

Some colour schemes suit certain seasons more than others but that said, there’s also a lot of overlap too. Pastels can work well in any season, as can neutrals shades and pops of bright colour. At the end of the day, the most important consideration when choosing the colour scheme for your wedding is that you love the colours you pick and that they suit you as a couple.
