If you’re searching for new ways to incorporate pink into your wedding, we say copper is the way to go! In between pink and orange, this metallic shade sits as a truly stunning color that adds vibrancy without overdoing it. Whether you’re going for a rustic look, boho vibes, or something more sophisticated, this option is the best way to go, bringing in modern, refined elegance.
Perfect Peach

Despite being a relatively lighter shade, peach is a beautiful color that stands out and adds a pop of vibrancy that catches the eye. The light shade perfectly balances bright and breezy, so if you’re envisioning a rainbow of colors for your summer wedding theme, consider highlighting this color among the blues, purples, yellows, and whites.
Muted Peach & Aqua

Aqua and peach are major summer colors! Bringing the two together can create a gorgeous palette for a sunny day’s wedding. But if you don’t want anything too bright, the ever-popular blush isn’t your only option. Think of muted tones, softening the colors for a more tempered and balanced look.
A Nautical Palette

Summer calls for a beach wedding. And nuptials by the water allows you to use the most mesmerizing blues to match. For a chic and elegant setup, consider inky navy and cream, accented with subtle gray to give a contemporary touch.
Lime Green-Centric

A soft lime green color scheme is probably the most distinctive for weddings, but we also think it’s such a summer color that can only be appropriate for the season in particular. Wouldn’t you agree? The green hue blends seamlessly with the natural greens, creating the perfect set if you want to add pops of literally any other color. Our personal favorites? Joyful and summery yellow, pink, and orange!
Black & White + Dusty Rose

Planning a wedding that toes the line between summer and fall? Darker shades commonly associated with autumn are great when paired with soft pinks, glamorous gold, and specks of orange. This classic black and white decor over a romantic mauve tablecloth is the perfect example of adding an unexpected pop of color. We also love this bride’s dusty rose dress that screams elegant summer.
There’s always a way to make just about any color work for your warm-weather celebration. From the classic pastels and bright hues to darker tones like mauve, all you have to do is find the best shades to blend or temper to make even the not-so-typical summer tones work in favor of the sunny season.
