Wedding Color Combinations

The number of wedding color combinations that you can come up with are endless. Just go to the paint section of your local Home Depot or Lowes and you'll find hundreds of colors that you can use for your wedding color scheme.

When determining which wedding color combinations you will use for your wedding and reception, there are several different ways to brainstorm and make your final choice.

Use:

your favorite color

a color that compliments the ceremony location

colors that enhance the look of the reception room

the color of your favorite flower

a color traditionally appropriate for the season in which you are getting married

Traditonally light or airy colors are used for spring and summer weddings. Colors like:


Turquoise	Lavender	Pink


Peach	Light Blue	Cornflower	Light Green

Traditonally darker or warm colors are used for autumn and winter weddings. Colors like:


Red	Olive Green	Wine	Teal


Brown	Navy Blue	Burnt Orange

These warm colors can also be used during a formal evening wedding anytime of the year.

Even though the following colors are normally used as accent colors they can be used as the primary colors for your wedding as well.


Black	White	Silver

You can get an idea of how some wedding color combinations are put together using the colors that I have shown you above.


Peach and Light Green	Pink and Brown	Cornflower and Peach	Pink and Olive Green


Cornflower and Wine	White and Red	Green and Blue	Silver and Navy Blue


White and Black	Green and Brown

The possibilities are endless when you decide to become creative in putting together different colors for your special day.

I used several different ways to put the above combinations together. Red and white is basically the use of one main color (red) with and accent color (white).

A color like red is so bold that you might want to use two accent colors like red, white, and silver. You could use mostly white and silver and add splashes of red color so that your guests are not overwhelmed at the amount of red used during your ceremony and reception.

The green and blue combination shows an example of how two colors that are close together on a color wheel can be used in your wedding color scheme.

While the peach and green gives an idea of how two opposite colors can be used together. If you still need some inspiration, go to your local paint store and grab a bunch of paint swatches and see what you come up with.
