How to Select Your Wedding Color Palette
Choosing your wedding color palette is one of the most exciting parts of wedding planning! Your colors set the tone for your big day, influencing everything from your floral arrangements to your décor and even your wedding party’s attire. But with so many beautiful options, where do you start? We’ve got you covered with expert tips to help you find the perfect color scheme for your Spokane wedding!
1. Consider Your Wedding Theme & Venue
Your venue plays a big role in shaping your color palette. A romantic garden wedding? Soft pastels and lush greens will complement the natural beauty. Hosting a modern city wedding? Bold hues or chic monochrome can make a stylish statement. If you're saying “I do” in a rustic barn, earthy tones and deep, warm colors will create a cozy, inviting vibe.
2. Match Your Colors to the Season
Let nature be your guide! Spokane’s seasons provide a stunning backdrop for your wedding, so why not let them inspire your floral color palette?
Spring: Soft pastels (blush, lavender, pale blue) complement the fresh blooms of the season.
Summer: Vibrant, warm-toned flowers (coral, fuchsia, sunflower yellow) make a bold statement.
Fall: Earthy hues (burnt orange, deep red, mustard yellow) blend beautifully with autumn foliage.
Winter: Rich jewel tones (emerald green, sapphire blue, burgundy) add elegance and depth.
3. Think Twice About an All-White Palette
White wedding flowers are timeless, but they can be tricky. Locally grown white flowers tend to hold up better than imported ones, which bruise easily. Plus, all-white bouquets and arrangements may look flat in photos. Instead, consider adding soft neutrals like champagne, taupe, or blush to create dimension and contrast against your white or ivory wedding gown.
4. Add Accent Colors for Depth & Personality
Your main wedding color is the star, but accent colors can add contrast and personality! Use accent shades in bridesmaid dresses, floral arrangements, table décor, and even your wedding invitations. If you’re unsure where to start, look at color combinations in nature, artwork, or even your favorite fashion trends.
5. Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment!
Mixing unexpected colors can lead to a stunning, unique wedding palette. Love deep greens but also adore dusty rose? Go for it! Want to incorporate metallics like gold or copper? They add warmth and sophistication. Your wedding colors should reflect your personality and style, so have fun with the process!
