Choosing Wedding Colors
How to Choose Your Dream Wedding Colors (and Actually Have Fun Doing It!)
You just said yes—congratulations! This is such a magical time, and if you're anything like most brides-to-be, your mind is already swirling with visions of your big day. One of the first and most exciting parts of planning? Choosing your wedding colors!
Your color palette sets the tone for your entire celebration. It influences everything from the invites to the florals to the mood of the space. But don’t stress—this is supposed to be fun! Here’s how to pick the perfect wedding colors that feel just right for you.
First things first, think about your vibe. Are you dreaming of a timeless, romantic look? Something bold and playful? Maybe soft neutrals that feel elegant and effortless? Your personal style is the best starting point. You don’t have to follow trends—unless you love them. Whether you're all about dusty rose and sage or you're eyeing something more modern like rust and terracotta, your palette should reflect who you are as a couple.
The season can also give you natural inspiration. Spring leans into pastels and garden-fresh tones. Summer loves vibrant, saturated hues. Fall opens the door to rich, earthy colors, and winter embraces deep jewel tones or cozy neutrals. But if you’ve fallen for a palette that’s “off-season,” go for it. There are ways to make any color work all year round.
Your venue plays a big role, too. At Heritage on Broadway, for example, our French country elegance and soft, neutral backdrop allow nearly any palette to shine. Whether you're leaning toward classic champagne and gold or whimsical lavender and dusty blue, your colors will pop in a space that doesn’t compete for attention.
Once you have a few colors in mind, test them out together. Pinterest is great for creating mood boards, but you can also grab paint chips from a hardware store, collect fabric swatches, or browse Instagram for inspiration. See how your colors look side by side, and don’t forget to include some contrast or accent tones so everything doesn’t blend too much.
And finally, trust your gut. This day is about you two, and your choices should make you feel happy and confident. If a color makes your heart skip a beat, it’s probably meant to be part of your day.
At Heritage on Broadway, we love seeing how every couple brings their palette to life in our space. No matter what colors you choose, they’ll help tell your story in a beautiful, memorable way.
So go ahead—pour a glass of champagne, open up that Pinterest board, and start dreaming. You’ve got this!
