Picking your wedding colour palette can feel like a very big decision.
It ends up influencing everything - your florals, bridesmaids dresses, table styling, stationery, and sometimes even the cake.
The good news? Wedding colour trends are getting a lot more fun. Couples are leaning into richer tones, unexpected pairings and palettes that feel a little less traditional and a lot more personal.
If you’re currently deep in Pinterest boards and saving every wedding you see on Instagram, these are four colour combinations we’re absolutely loving right now.
Fair warning: you might end up rethinking your whole palette.
Chocolate Brown + Powder Blue
This pairing is having a serious moment right now.
Chocolate brown brings depth and warmth, while powder blue keeps everything soft and romantic. Together they feel rich, modern and just a little bit vintage.
It’s also one of those colour palettes that photographs beautifully.
Think:
Chocolate brown bridesmaids dresses
Dark walnut timber tables and chairs
Powder blue tablecloths or draped fabric
Soft blue florals layered through bouquets
Blue stationery paired with chocolate envelopes
It feels elevated, stylish and a little different without being too bold.
Dusty Pink + Deep Plum
Some colour combinations simply never miss.
Dusty pink and deep plum sit beautifully together - soft, romantic and rich all at the same time.
The dusty pink keeps everything light and dreamy, while plum adds depth and a slightly dramatic edge.
Think:
Dusty pink or deep plum bridesmaids dresses with contrasting florals
Plum dahlias or roses in bouquets
Deep plum linen napkins layered on pink tablecloths
Berry-toned florals mixed with soft blush blooms
If you’re after something timeless but still a little striking, this palette is always a winner.
Crimson Red + Sky Blue
If soft neutrals aren’t your thing, this palette is a dream.
Crimson red paired with sky blue feels bold, playful and slightly retro in the best possible way. It’s perfect for couples who want their styling to feel vibrant and full of personality.
It also works beautifully with Mediterranean-inspired styling.
Think:
Crimson florals woven through bouquets and tables
Sky blue tablecloths or ceremony drapery
Natural reds styled into the tablescape (hello tomatoes and fruit)
Blue ribbon details on stationery or bouquets
Retro-inspired red and blue backdrops that look incredible in photos
Unexpected? Yes.
Incredibly fun? Also yes.
Olive Green + Chrome
This palette feels cool without trying too hard.
Olive green brings that natural, earthy feeling, while chrome or vintage silver adds a sleek metallic contrast.
The mix of organic and modern elements creates a look that feels fresh, stylish and a little bit editorial.
Think:
Layered olive green fabric backdrops
Literal olives styled in vintage silver servingware (old-money romance energy)
Vintage silver plates or chrome cutlery
Deep green florals for texture and depth
Embossed chrome stationery details
It’s modern, elegant and perfect if you love a slightly minimalist vibe.
The best wedding colour palettes are the ones that feel like you.
Maybe that’s soft romantic pinks, bold pops of red, earthy greens or something a little unexpected.
Whatever direction you choose, don’t be afraid to play with contrast. Pair something light with something rich. Add texture. Layer tones.
And most importantly - save all of the inspo you’re loving so you don’t forget it later.
