The color palette which you select for your wedding will really help to establish a tone and atmosphere. When you want your wedding to be sophisticated and beautiful, elegant colors will help you create the desired effect. These are elegant wedding color combination's for every time of the year.
Spring colors are typically soft pastels. They are the shades of the Easter season, the colors of spring flowers, and the shades most associated with the gentle time of new growth. Pastels can tend to be very girly or insipid, but they can also be combined with stronger colors to create a beautiful style. For a spring wedding color palette that is both classic and elegant, combine a pale color with a rich metallic. Shell pink, gold, and ivory is one example. Another lovely palette would be apricot, bronze, and taupe. Robin's egg blue with silver and pale green is another elegant spring color scheme. The richness of the metallic accents gives a grown-up appeal to the light spring hues. The colors are very easy to pull into the wedding flowers, linens and china, and even custom bridal jewelry for the bride.
Typical summer colors are bright and playful. If an elegant wedding is your goal, however, you must find a way to bring a dash of sophisticated style to the summery hues. Ivory, lilac, and green is one lovely color palette for a summer reception. The lilac and green will look wonderful for centerpiece flowers with a romantic form such as hydrangeas, roses, and sweetpeas. Or opt for a more strong palette which is also upscale, like navy, green, and white. That is a great choice for a nautical summer wedding with a formal flavor. This is a handsome tailored color combination that your groom will also like, since it is not a girly one.
It seems like most fall wedding color schemes are geared towards rustic receptions, but there is no reason at all why you cannot have an elegant autumn wedding. Choose a rich warm hue like burgundy or russet as your main color. For accent shades, layer in touches of metallic gold or bronze, along with cream and a few hints of tan. The effect will be sumptuous and luxurious, a far cry from the expected orange, red, and yellow combination that is so typical of fall affairs. Make your palette even more upscale by using it in luxury bridal fabrics like silk satin bridesmaid dresses with coordinating crystal custom jewelry, embroidered dupioni tablecloths, and even cut velvet for a late fall wedding.
Many winter weddings are done in an elegant fashion. Deep red accented with ivory and lots of sparkling crystals is one classic palette for the winter months. If you like light colors for weddings, try an ice blue mixed with silver and white for a design that will bring to mind sunlight hitting snowflakes. For the ultimate regal atmosphere, deep eggplant purple and gold are wonderful; they are rich and deep, yet in no way bring to mind Christmas colors for brides who prefer to avoid a holiday theme.
Truly whatever your season, you can put together a very stylish and elegant wedding. As long as you select colors which suit the season, you can add in accent hues to bring them up to the next level of graciousness. All wedding design begins with selecting the perfect color palette, so be sure that yours speaks of elegance and fabulous living.
