Beautiful Summer Wedding Color Pairings for Every Style

Can I take a second to note that picking wedding colors can somehow be both an incredibly exciting…and yet incredibly stressful part of wedding planning? One scroll through Pinterest and suddenly you love tons of different combos and now you can't commit to a single one.

So here's my advice. Instead of getting overwhelmed, go with the colors that give your heart a little flutter. Easy peasy!

Need a little push in the right direction? Here are some gorgeous summer wedding color combinations to get those creative wheels turning.

Seafoam #93E9BE | Blush #F2C2C6 | Pearl White #F5F5F0

There's a reason seafoam and blush keep showing up in summer wedding inspiration. They're a gorgeous match! Seafoam brings a cool softness, and blush warms it up. Oh so pretty!

And it's incredibly versatile. Waterfront, garden, rooftop, this palette is stunning everywhere.

For your stationery, try pearl white card stock with seafoam watercolor washes and blush calligraphy. Then style your bridesmaids in blush gowns and have them carry bouquets with white peonies, blush roses, and sprigs of eucalyptus.

For the reception, go with pearl white table linens, seafoam glassware, and blush taper candles. Seaglass-inspired accents and iridescent details add a little shoreline sparkle without going full beach theme.

Burnt Orange #CC5500 | Emerald #046A38 | Warm Ivory #FFF8DC

Oh wow, talk about depth! Burnt orange brings the heat and earthiness, while emerald adds richness and contrast. Together it’s a bit unexpected for a summer wedding, but I like it! If your venue has any kind of garden, vineyard, or farm setting, this combo is going to be fantastic.

For your invitations, go with warm ivory paper with burnt orange letterpress and emerald botanical illustrations. Bridesmaids in emerald gowns with burnt orange bouquets (e.g., dahlias, ranunculus, and autumn ferns), are really striking.

For your tables, opt for ivory linens, emerald velvet napkins, and burnt orange candles in brass holders.

Raspberry #D21F5B | Champagne #F7E7CE | Soft Gold #D4AF37

Thinking of a summer soirée? Then perhaps raspberry is your color! And when you pair it with champagne and soft gold, it goes from bold to summer glam. This combo has that late-summer-evening ambiance.

Perfect for you to dance the night away under the stars.

Picture champagne card stock with raspberry foil lettering and soft gold envelope liners. Your bridesmaids will look absolutely stunning in champagne gowns with raspberry bouquets of garden roses, astilbe, and burgundy accents.

For your reception, use champagne linens with soft gold charger plates, raspberry napkins, and low floral centerpieces in gold vessels. Add some gold-rimmed glassware and you're golden, (literally)!

Sky Blue #87CEEB | Sunflower Yellow #FFDA03 | Bright White #FFFFFF

A wedding should be a joyful celebration, right? Then perhaps go for colors that fit that vibe. To me, sky blue and sunflower yellow are pure happiness. They’re cheerful, bright, and it will make your guests smile all day long.

Go for bright white invitations with sky blue hand-drawn illustrations and sunflower yellow accents.

For decor, go with white table linens with sky blue runners, yellow napkins, and have mason jars filled with sunflowers. Blue gingham accents or yellow lemonade stations add even more personality. I think this palette is great for outdoor nuptials.

Dusty Mauve #C9A0A0 | Olive #6B8E23 | Taupe #D2C4B0

If you're drawn to muted, organic tones, this palette is going to speak to you. Dusty mauve and olive create this really pretty contrast (one warm, one cool) and taupe bridges the gap between them perfectly.

I love this combo for couples who want something earthy.

Use taupe paper with olive botanical prints and dusty mauve calligraphy on your wedding stationery.

For the reception, go with taupe linens, olive napkins, and mauve floral arrangements in stoneware vases. Wooden accents, linen details, and lots of natural greenery round out this palette perfectly.

Coral Pink #F88379 | Cobalt #0047AB | Soft Cream #FFF8E7

Ok, this one's a head-turner. Coral pink and cobalt are opposites on the color wheel, which is exactly why they pop so well together. It's fun, it's vibrant, it’s glamourous. If you want your wedding to be like a full-on event, this is the move.

Use cream card stock with cobalt borders and coral pink floral illustrations on your invitations. Style your bridesmaids in cobalt gowns with coral bouquets of poppies, roses, and ranunculus.

For your reception, go with cream linens, cobalt napkins, and coral centerpieces in blue-and-white ceramic vases.

Papaya #FF6347 | Teal #008080 | Sand #F4DECB

Close your eyes and picture a tropical sunset, that warm glow meeting the deep blue-green of the water. That's what these colors do.

Papaya and teal together are vibrant and bold, but the sand balances it out. You can have a tropical sunset vibe, even if your wedding is miles from the nearest beach!

For your invitations, sand-colored paper with teal hand-lettering and papaya watercolor accents go well together.

For your tables, go with sand linens, teal napkins, and papaya floral arrangements in natural wood vessels. Tiki-inspired details, tropical leaf garlands, and warm candlelight bring this sunset palette to life.

Well, what do you think? Seven color combos, seven directions you could take your summer wedding.
