Popular Color Combos by Season

   If you can't decide on a color palette for your wedding, you might want to take cue from Mother Nature. "Also, look to the celebratory events occurring during the month of your wedding for inspiring color combinations", suggests Cheryl Gabiola Galvez, owner of Bliss! Weddings Market. Gabiola Galvez suggests these beautiful color combinations to bring to life your most important day to date:

WINTER

With all the end-of-the-year festivities, several color combos come to mind.

ALL WHITE - For those of us who are graced with white snow for a period of time throughout the year, the color white is an easy choice. Forget about only the bride wearing white! The groom, bridal party and parents are all encouraged to deck out in this purest of colors.


BLACK AND WHITE - Ebony and ivory, like the bridal couple, make a complementary duet. The color combo exudes the most formal of looks. The palette goes well with a New Year's Eve celebration.


BLUE AND WHITE - A beautiful combo to celebrate alongside the Hanukah season. And blue and white makes a great alternative pairing for a Christmas wedding other than the traditional coupling of green and red.


SILVER / GREY AND WHITE - A good middle ground for those who don't like the formal look of black or the crispness of an all white wedding.

SPRING

This season provides a symphony of colors found in your own backyard and lends a plethora of natural color combinations.

CELADON and PINK - Pink peonies coupled with the ever-popular celadon, a soft and serene green hue, make a natural combination. For a more stark contrast, pair celadon with a bright pink color such as Fushcia.
          

ROBIN'S EGG BLUE and PINK - Popularized by Martha Stewart (the big "M" herself), Robin's Egg Blue is a soft and beautiful shade of blue. Pair with light pink for a warm look or bright saturated pink for a striking effect.
          

LILAC and CHOCOLATE BROWN - This natural combo is a simple pairing inspired by the flower itself and its wooden branches. The color purple, in all its shades and tints in between, are making its presence known in many of today's bridal events.

SUMMER

The bright and vibrant colors of this sultry season yield beautiful and unique color pairings.

MANGO ORANGE and MINT GREEN - This color duet is both bright and dramatic and is receiving a warm reception in the wedding world. Add chocolate brown as an accent to finish off the look.


BURNT ORANGE and CRANBERRY RED - This fiery pairing makes a dramatic look for a summer-themed bridal event.


ROYAL BLUE and SUN YELLOW - This color combo conjures up images of sailboats on the open sea. Therefore, this duet of colors makes the ideal choice for a nautical theme wedding.

FALL

Look to the trees for inspiring color combinations for this season's weddings.

CHOCOLATE BROWN and TAUPE - Design your fall wedding around this perfect pairing of minimalist colors. The duet exudes cool, warm and clean feelings.


BURNT ORANGE and CHOCOLATE BROWN - This pair is reminiscent of the 1970's but is making a strong comeback in wedding décor. The rich brown and saturated orange found naturally in tree leaves, is the perfect nod to the season.


CELADON and CHOCOLATE BROWN - Just like nature's pairing of green leaves and brown bark, this color couple goes hand-in-hand. The combo makes a warm and soothing color palette for an autumn wedding.


YELLOW and CHOCOLATE BROWN - Golden yellow leaves and dark brown branches look stunning in natural surroundings. And it will create an equal impression throughout your wedding details.
