Color Palette Inspiration

Color is the fastest way to make a wedding feel like yours. A palette does not have to be complicated — often two or three colors plus greenery carry the whole day. This gallery collects the palettes couples reach for most, from all-white elegance to bold jewel tones, so you can point to a feeling and build outward.

Planning tips

  • 1.Choose two or three colors, then let greenery act as the neutral that ties them together.
  • 2.Blush, ivory, champagne, and quiet green make the most forgiving romantic palette — flattering in nearly any light.
  • 3.For a bold and dramatic look, build on burgundy, crimson, plum, forest green, and gold, and lean into candlelight to deepen the contrast.
  • 4.Soft spring pastels — petal pink, lavender, butter, sage, cloud white — suit garden parties and morning weddings.
  • 5.An all-white or monochrome palette needs texture to stay interesting: mix rose, ranunculus, and layered greenery so it never falls flat.
  • 6.Pull your palette from something you already love — the invitations, a dress detail, the venue's tones — so everything reads as one story.

Flowers that carry this look

  • White roses

    The anchor of any all-white or monochrome palette and endlessly flattering in photos.

  • Ranunculus

    Layered petals add depth and texture that keep a single-color palette from looking flat.

  • Dahlias

    Available in saturated tones that carry bold jewel and warm-autumn palettes with ease.

  • Sweet peas

    Delicate pastel tones and light fragrance make them ideal for soft spring schemes.

  • Eucalyptus

    A versatile silvery-green neutral that unifies almost any color combination.

  • Lisianthus

    Comes in blush, white, and deep purple, so it can bridge romantic and jewel-tone palettes alike.
