If we’ve done anything over quarantine, we’ve gotten more creative to squash our boredom. Whether it’s through home improvement, Instagram Reels or Tik Tok challenges, an online shopping addiction, tidying up our home with Marie Kondo, or picking up a new at-home hobby, we’ve had to find ways to entertain ourselves while music venues, movie theatres, and most public places outside the home have been closed. If you’ve been wedding planning, all the extra home time meant plenty of time for Instagram scrolling or pinteresting only helping your imagination run wild! If you’re wanting to bring a beautiful wedding theme to life, start with your wedding color palette!
New Wedding Colors to Consider
From florals to invitations, your wedding color palette can help you navigate through many future choices for the big day. Selecting wedding colors early on will only help you and your wedding squad’s jobs easier to ensure everyone has the correct swatch or shade of colors you intended for!
We have inspiration for you to help select the best wedding color combinations for a day that fits your taste or even new wedding colors you may have never considered for your elegant evening.
Morrocan Dreams
You may have never been to Morocco, (maybe the Morrocan Pavilion at Epcot in Disney World counts enough!), but the immense culture the North African country provides is captivating! In the Morrocan cities of Casablanca and Marrakesh, carpet weaving is a traditional craft, and if you’ve been shopping for any textiles lately, you may have noticed how prints from this area of the world are everywhere! (Morocco is close to Portugal and Spain which help inspire Target’s lively home brand, Opalhouse.) There are multiple colors of Morocco which will help you tie in many elements of your day to fit the lively theme. The main colors are blue, green, red, and yellow, and many of these color schemes mix in blends of these colors like turquoise and orange.

Stay Sage
Maybe being green is your mission in life (reduce, reuse, recycle!), or you’re just all about plants, sage green is shining bright in 2021. This grey-green color of green is perfect for tying in bridesmaid dresses to florals to centerpieces while keeping your wedding day a muted garden of green and white. Floral arrangements in this color scheme often include all-white flowers with plenty of greenery like eucalyptus, Ruscus stems, olive leaf branches, dusty miller, or fern leaf stems.

Shades of Blue
What’s a wedding without something blue? We have plenty of blue hues to consider as a staple color for your day and to use a subtle accent throughout your wedding day elements.
Fun Fact: The 2020 Pantone Color of the Year was Classic Blue. We think it still deserves a chance in 2021.

Navy
Being one of the most popular colors of suits, navy is a great alternative to black for your wedding day. It works great when paired with a warm color like maroon, pink, orange, or yellow-gold.
Cobalt
If you’re looking for the most true, bright blue, choose cobalt. This shade of blue pops in bridesmaid dresses and in decor, and would look great paired with other bold colors like indigo, purple or perhaps turquoise for a peacock-inspired look.
Turquoise
Turquoise has more green in it, making it a unique blue shade, but it sure is a popular one, especially among those getting married by the beach, or wanting that beachy vibe on their big day. Another option is to pair baby pink with turquoise to bring a whimsical wedding look to life.
Gray Blue
This muted shade of blue has heavy doses of gray in it resulting in a dusty slate tone that looks great in bridal party dresses, linens, and in men’s accessories. Gray-blue fits great for those looking for a neutral wedding look and pairs well with other subtle colors.

Think Pale Pink
If you were a young girl with all things pink, you probably dreamed about your grand wedding day with some elements of the color! This color has morphed to fit every couple’s wedding dreams, from rose to mauve, but pale pink (Pantone 691 U) is the real winner of right now. It’s easy to incorporate this color into your florals and decor, and looks great as a primary color or used subtly for a slight feminine touch.
