Choosing your wedding color palette is one of the most fun yet important parts of the wedding planning process. Your color palette guides the look of everything including your bridesmaids’ dresses, invitation suite, linens, candles, and, of course, your wedding flowers. In this post, you’ll find twelve color combinations largely inspired by each of the four seasons.
How Your Color Palette Can Affect Your Mood
As you view these color palettes, consider not only the season of your wedding but also the mood and atmosphere you want to create. Each season has colors that naturally come to mind, but the vibe you want to create should have a considerable influence, too.
Each color has different associations and impacts on our psychology, and it can vary from culture to culture. For a vibrant summer wedding, you could have pops of corals and bright oranges. For a more relaxed feeling, you could have warm pinks, greens, and soft blues. In other words, the shade of a color matters as much as the color itself!
In comparing the two pink colors above, it’s easy to see how they greatly differ in the feelings they evoke. The soft pink creates a sense of calmness, while the vibrant pink has a more high-energy effect. When the two are combined, it can create a dynamic contrast that adds depth and dimension to the design.
Here are some examples illustrating how different colors impact mood and psychology:
White
Peace, light, renewal, clean, relaxing
Pink
Passion, calmness, femininity, hope, love
Yellow and Gold
Happiness, joy, warmth, optimism, energy
Blue
Serenity, rest, peacefulness, trust, sensitivity
Green
Nature, growth, comfort, tranquility, relaxation
Red
Excitement, love, passion, boldness, desire
Purple
Loyalty, luxury, wisdom, harmony, courage
Brown and Tan
Dependability, nature, strength, earthiness, openness
Orange
Sunshine, warmth, vibrancy, positivity, renewal
Consider the emotions and atmosphere you want to evoke on your wedding day, and let your chosen color palette reflect your unique style and personality as a couple. Enjoy these color palettes!
