Color Palettes For Summer Weddings

When planning a wedding, one of the best places to begin is by selecting your wedding colors. The color palette will aid you in making all your stylistic decisions, from bouquets, to bridesmaid dresses, to the wedding cake. These are some lovely ideas for summer wedding color palettes.

Navy and Lime Green: Do you swoon over all things nautical? Do you believe that classic is best when it comes to weddings? If so, the perfect palette for your summer wedding is navy blue and lime green! The navy is timeless and elegant, while the light and bright green is perky and summery. The colors are also surprisingly simple to use for a wedding. A navy strapless dress with a wonderful pearl necklace and a bouquet of green hydrangeas will be a gorgeous look for the bridesmaids. Navy suits with lime green patterned ties will be handsome for the men in the wedding. And for the bride, a green hydrangea bouquet accentuated with a navy grosgrain ribbon will look beautiful with a crisp white organza gown. Keep the decorating scheme crisp and classic, with details like stripes, nautical motifs, and small polka dots.

Flamingo Pink and Tangerine: Vivid flamingo pink is a huge color trend for 2011 weddings. This bright color palette looks stupendous for a casual outdoor wedding. Imagine scores of paper lanterns strung over the reception site in pink and orange. Make your table settings pop by layering pink table squares over tangerine linens. Flamingo and tangerine blossoms would look amazing filling the ceremony and reception sites. A wide range of flowers can be found in those hues, including lilies, roses, dahlias, and orchids. Don’t choose anything overly elaborate for the bridesmaid dresses– a dress in one of the palette colors with a mixed bouquet will be beautiful without being overwhelming. A pearl pendant or short crystal drop is just enough sparkle for your bridesmaids; when the dresses are vivid, keep the jewelry simple.

Yellow and Apricot: For a summer ceremony, you can’t go wrong with sunny yellow. Together with apricot, its appeal multiples with a romantic, vintage feel. Yellow and apricot looks especially pretty in a garden ceremony. Loose arrangements of garden roses, ranunculus, sweet peas, and French tulips make for breathtaking bouquets and centerpieces. Faded floral prints look especially lovely in this color combination, and said prints can be used for anything from tablecloths to bridesmaid dresses. A soft ivory lace gown would be exquisite for the bride. A stunning pearl necklace in a soft apricot color is a very flattering alternative to white pearls for the bride.

Lilac and Khaki: Don’t overlook neutral colors when planning a wedding palette– they can be quite chic. Lilac on its own is a popular color trend for 2011, and when combined with cool khaki it has a new elegance and sophistication. The majority of the wedding details would look delightful in the neutral khaki color, such as the tablecloths, seat covers, and stationary. The lilac hue is perfect for romantic accents; use it in the flowers, the cake, and for the flower girl’s dress. Lilac and khaki is a fairly versatile summer wedding color palette, and can easily be taken in a more modern direction with very streamlined details, or it can be used to create a wedding with an understated elegance.

The planning is a breeze once you’ve chosen your perfect color palette. A great tip is to gather samples from paint stores in your signature hues so that you can keep an example handy when looking for bridesmaid dresses, flowers, and all the rest of your wedding necessities. Happy planning!
