Summer Wedding Color Palette Ideas

For some of us, summer is fast approaching, bringing with it plenty of warm and sunny days. Summer weddings (June, July and August) are popular choices for weddings. Here are some vibrant color scheme ideas for summer weddings.

What are Color Schemes?

Color schemes are essentially a set of complementary colors that you pick, which will form the basis for your entire wedding. For example, chalky, light, faded, powder and talcum colors are accompanied by more intense shades of taupe beige and mauve. A range of dynamic, light pastels can be added to the base: pink, greenish yellow, orange, vibrant green. You can play off colors from this palette.

The above description is an example of a color scheme. The below shows you some of my more favorite color scheme choices for summer weddings.

Purple shades are in this year - and I love it! Make your wedding unforgettable with the boldest shades of summer. A wedding laden with heaps of cosmos flowers, irises, and star gazer lilies is a veritable fairy tale haven for romance. These shades are the perfect option for making statement bouquets and incorporating pops of color in a tasteful manner, such as with wedding accessories like a cute ballet flat or unexpected invitations.
