When you start wedding planning, you think about all the things to help get you started, such as deciding if you want a winter wedding vs. a summer wedding, what venue you want for the reception, and so many other things. But, one thing that you should definitely know before you start buying bridesmaid dresses, ordering flowers, and beautiful wedding motifs is to find your wedding colors. We love a neutral wedding, but this upcoming year is all about saturated color—and we are ready for it! We're seeing couples embracing bright, bold, and unabashed color—and using MORE of it. We're so over the strict two color palette rule. Instead of 2 or 3 colors in the wedding palette, it's totally fine to incorporate upwards of 4 or 5. 2020 will bring less matchy-matchy, and more mixing it up.
For instance, try a summery theme inspired by the many shades of hydrangeas, including sapphire and sky blue paired with white and gray, finished off with a few pops of sunny yellow to make it feel light and bright.
If there is one leading guide that brides all over the world can trust every year that predicts colors prevalent in high-fashion and pop culture each year, that is Pantone colors of the year. Some of this years colors include:
Neo-Mint: Such a soft color, you can compliment it with gold or silver, and even add in some sparkle. It’s a fresh, oxygenating tone that is aligned with nature and yet goes in harmony with just about everything!
Classic Blue: Pantone’s 2020 Color of the Year, is the perfect hue to set the mood for a laid-back summer wedding. Blue and all its shades represent meditation, peace, and escapism, which grounds us and yet uplifts us because of its association with spirituality. Pantone named classic blue as the color of the year for 2020, chosen, they say, because it instills calm, confidence, and connection—which, coincidentally, is a perfect vibe for celebrating “I do’s.”
Cassis: Cassis is a deeper purple with a gray undertone. This is a grown-up glam, coming of age, yet surprisingly soothing color. Cassis is especially beautiful in a velvet fabric from wardrobe to your tablescapes.
Cantaloupe: This shade of orange is extremely flexible and you can pair it with plenty of options. Cantaloupe is a rejuvenating color that can be used in any season.
Mellow Yellow: Yellow is touted to be the next “millennial pink”. It’s not too light that it fades into the background, but it’s quiet enough to support the rest of your wedding color scheme.
Loving the 2020 wedding colors? Looking for ways to add pops of color to your big day but don’t know where to start? From apple green to indigo, there's seriously about a billion pretty ways to add a splash of color to your day. Here are our favorite ways to add hints of color throughout your wedding day!
Bridesmaids Dresses: This is where most brides typically start with adding color into their day. Mismatched bridesmaid dresses mean more opportunities to show your wedding colors. Another option that you may like to consider is to keep your bridesmaids looks similar, but add color through their accessories.
Bouquets or boutineers: Designing a beautiful wedding palette often revolves around the floral choices. The fresh appearance and subtle scent of flowers make the entire event feel lush and inviting.
Colored suits and tuxedos: A great way to add a little pizzazz to the day, blue suits have become all the rage.
Ties, shirts and pocket squares: Hints of color in ties, shirts, suspenders, or pocket squares is also a very easy and more subtle way to add just a hint of color to your wedding palette.
Invitation Suite: From invitations to envelopes, gorgeous envelope liners and even wedding related stationery such as bridal showers or engagement parties invitations -- the invitation suite is the opening act of any wedding day. Your wedding invitation suite (and Save the Dates!) sets the tone for the colors and vibe of your day. Stationery is easy to customize to your color palette, tying together your whole wedding look. Also consider that invites are a dress code cue for your guests. You probably wouldn't send out formal ivory and gold cards with black calligraphy if you're expecting guests to dress casually and be barefoot as they witness your vows by the ocean. From your programs to your escort cards to your signage, these small details give you plenty of opportunity to work in a new color, whether on the paper itself or through calligraphy ink for a more subtle touch.
Bride’s Shoes: This little pop of color can be subtle or dramatic based on color choice, and can really add a statement to your day (and make a great addition to styled detail photos!).
Wedding Cake: Whether with colored frosting or fondant, sugar flowers or even fresh blooms, the wedding cake is an easy place to add a pop of color to your day without overwhelming a neutral or more subtle color palette. Because there are so many ways to decorate a wedding cake, it’s a great way to add personality (and color!) to your reception.
Napkins: Colored and/or textured napkins are a very easy way to add some flair to your reception tables. Like bows on presents, napkins bring just enough touch of pigment to your table setting, which makes them perfect for adding bright and rich colors. Whether you want to go bright and fun or elegant and dark, using napkins is a great way to incorporate color into your wedding.
Desserts: If you want to take a spin away from traditional wedding cake or simply offer another option for guests, you can offer donuts, mini donuts, cupcakes, cake pops, frosted cookies, ice cream and sprinkles, and more! Accessories like colored platters, picture frames and interesting messages can add more color as well. The same can be accomplished with the drinks counter as well. Consider displaying colored mixers with brilliant mixing sticks and natural pops of color with the use of lemons, olives, mint and herbs for original colors.
Men’s Socks: Whether a single design color or many shades and designs, the guys' socks tend to be a crowd favorite -- to the groomsmen, at least!
Decor: There are tons of opportunities to enhance your wedding color scheme through decor. From your table settings and centerpieces to the dessert table and all throughout your venue. Your wedding reception is the place where you can really play with colors. Here are some of the ideas you can choose from: colorful ribbons or streamers hung from the ceiling over the dance floor, paper lanterns in bright and vivid colors as hanging décor, and strings of colored lights. Table linens are another area through which you can add that burst of color to your big day. Buntings, displays, sign boards and backdrops are all ways to bring color into your setting. Don’t forget to dress up the aisle and altar also with splashes of color.
Adding your colors to the ceremony and reception in all design elements, down to the smallest details, is a perfect strategy for making your wedding and reception unique and memorable. Your color scheme will set the tone and mood of your wedding, so figure out which emotions you want your celebration to evoke before you pick your palette—whether you're going for a more relaxed daytime soiree or a regal and elegant ballroom affair. Just keep your color choice tasteful and complementary to your wedding style, and the end result will be nothing but impressive.
