New Wedding Colors to Consider

These wedding colors are some of the most popular (and easy to find matches for) or these palettes are trending up and are great wedding colors to consider for your upcoming day!

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 that 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 an array of blends of these colors like turquoise and orange.

Stay Sage

Maybe being green is your mission in life (reduce, reuse, recycle!), or you just are 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 deserves another chance in 2021.

Cerulean

This brighter blue shade reminds us of the sky or the ocean, and helps bring these outdoor elements indoors for your wedding. It’s great for a tropical wedding or will help brighten your wedding photos on overcast days. It has a bit of green in it, making it a more natural, less bold version of cobalt blue.

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.

Metallics

Gold

The gold color can be an elegant element among a colorful wedding scheme, or it can help elevate the glamour on your day!

Rose Gold

Combine pale pink and gold, and you have the most on-trend metallic right now, rose gold.

Silver

Add radiance to your day with silvery bling to match that platinum ring! (Platinum is a great metal for your ring that’s super strong and low maintenance. We’re filled with fun facts today!) From your jewelry to centerpieces, or a glittery silver photo booth backdrop, there are many ways to incorporate this common metallic!
