Month by Month: Wedding Themes and Colors for Every Season

Still at the start of your wedding planning process? Ever wish you had a guide to help narrow down the themes and colors that really suit the time of year you're holding your wedding?

Here we try to do just that. Granted, these are just suggestions ... and they don't take into account destination weddings, or seasons outside of North America, for that matter. Not to mention: a grandly-decorated venue is a blank slate you can transform into anything, any time of year. And some of these themes and colors are really fine for year-round use, though we didn't want to repeat them over and over (Black & White or Fifth Avenue Aqua being two examples).

But all disclaimers aside: if you want some great color combination or theme inspirations for January, June, or anything in between, read on!

March, April

If your climate cooperates, this is a wonderful time to celebrate spring's earliest bursts of color, flowers and delicate life forms: Lilies of Valley and Shasta daisies, daffodils and tulips, butterflies and dragonflies. Brides are instinctively drawn to pastels like lavender or yellow, whimsical and romantic pairings like red and pink, or combos with a modern bent like pink and lime green. A monochromatic look using all shades of pink is also totally spring (and stunning).

Some popular themes for spring? Cherry Blossom, Butterfly, and Irish or St. Patricks, to name a few.

Also, popular spring color combinations that double as themes include Aqua Blue (Fifth Avenue Style), and Pink & Green.

May, June, July

Summer brides sometimes complain that they can't find any summer themes, besides the usual beach or garden. Not to worry though: there's more here than you might expect. Summer also offers some of the most brightest, most energized palettes for brides who aren't afraid to play it modern. Contemporary picks include orange and fuchsia, green and hot pink, black against any kind of eye-popping-color, and chocolate brown and pink (or aqua).

Favorite themes for summer are numerous, but here are just a few: Garden, Daisy, Enchanted Forest and Victorian Garden, Beach, Starfish, Hawaiian Luau, Preppy/Nautical and Poolside. Don't forget Patriotic or Baseball, Fairytale or Asian Garden, Polka Dot or 50's Retro, and South of the Border, Rustic Country or Western.

Color Themes for the warm summer season include all kinds of Green, Cornflower Blue, Orange & Fuchsia, Black & White Toile with summery accents like yellow or pink, Aqua Blue (beach style), and the lighter purples, like orchid or Aubergine.

Summer

August, September, October

The colors alone bring this season near to the hearts of many brides who can't imagine tying the knot any other time of year. From russet to pumpkin orange and cinnamon to vanilla, the scents and famers' market decor of an outdoor Autumn wedding makes a setting like none other (not to mention the awesome photos!). Another plus: the grapes are ripe, and it's time to celebrate a brand-new season of wine.

Popular colors for this time of year include latte, mocha and chocolate brown, rust orange and burgundy, hunter green and gold. Nature-minded themes are all the rage right now, including New England Harvest, Harvest Modern and Halloween, "Perfect Pear" and Apple, Tuscan and Wine Theme, Herbal and Rustic Country. Chocolate Brown also amounts to a theme ... one that suits the season to a 'T'.

Fall

November

November's long been a sticking point for brides who want to stay close to nature, but aren't huge fans of the bright, brassy colors of autumn. We've try to address this dilemma with our new "Fields of Gold" page, which pays homage to the natural world and November's subtler palette of creams and golds. For more urban, indoor and delectably chic approach, seize on this time of year for a 1930's Retro / Art Deco Theme, with its November-friendly palette of gold, ivory, sepia and black, and its oh-so-apt nostalgic feel.

November

December, January, February

Friends and family are stuck inside, desperately hoping for a romantic diversion. Which is why this time of year's about making big, elegant gestures: going back in time, playing with lighting levels, indulging in romantic fabrics and heavy molding ... in short, transforming an ordinary interior into a portal to another world. Favorite colors for this time of year include ice blue, silver and white, gold, red and green, metallics paired with black, ivory on white and vice versa, and all the shimmery jewel tones.

Top themes that fit the season include those with a pale palette and opulent look, such as Calla, Parisian or Versailles, or those with a holiday feel, such as Christmas, Victorian Christmas, Winter Wonderland, or Diamond or Crystal Theme. Of course, Valentine's Day is a natural for those marrying in February, but the bold red and white palette works just as well for any other deep-winter setting. Finally, maybe it's the Oscars, or just a need to cut loose after too many dark afternoons, but there's no better time of year to hold an Old Hollywood or even Vegas theme wedding.

As for color themes that suit this time of year? All-White, Regal Red, Black & White, and Royal Purple.

Holiday

What'd We Miss?

We know this list is hardly exhaustive... there are plenty more themes and color schemes tailor-made for autumn or spring. Why not share some of your favorites below?

amy,
i am not so sure about the blue. with the other colors you mentioned it might be a bit overwhelming. can you tell me what color blue you were considering? navy blue would work well. it would be a neutral classic that wouldnt overpower when combined. look forward to talking to you!! thanks

hi eve,
actually brown would look sooo good with this. if he doesnt want to wear brown, khaki is another alternative. it is perfect for the time of year, though the look is on the more informal side. perfect for the beach, informal outdoors. i have seen it squeezed in for a semi formal and it didnt look out of place. youcould always choose a charcoal grey, it will go beautifully with the pink and coral. girls in silvery grey would be equally fantastic. for a more classic affair choose black. the best advice i can give is take your overall time and location into consideration. the formality of the wedding. the colors you have chosen to go either/or. all the way from casual to formal. post back with those details and i will be happy tohelp!!

I definetly want to have an outdoor wedding, im really interested in having it in a garden venue. My dress will be an ivory color. My flowers will consist of either roses or tulips with the coral,pink and ivory colors. As far as the bridesmaid dresses we were thinking of coral dresses .. what do you think would be better?

*coral and pink wedding

*coral and ivory wedding

coral would be beautiful, but have you thought about silvery grey? the guys could wear grey also. it is such a wonderful compliment to coral and pink. if you dont care for the girls to wear grey(or they dont care for it) then have them in the coral or a pink with the guys in grey. i would suggest using a lighter color or the grey to really make the coral pop. the easiest way to find the right color is take your bm tothe shop to try on colors, stick in the ranges of coral, pinks, you could even have them wear another great neutral in brown or black. whatever color suits them best is what i would choose. also head to your local craft store and put together the “ideal” but makeshift bouquet have them hold the bouquet against the dress colors. this is a great visual. i really think the grey would be awesome, grey also comes in light to deep shades. you just might be surprised, in how wonderful it can look!! :mrgreen:

isnt that bouquet stunning?!? vivid garden colors. the roses are jawdropping! you could pull colors from the tri color bouquet and have centerpieces in an all coral roses (for example) on white linens. or combine all the colors. you could even have the girls carrying all pink bouquets with the moh carrying all coral. you could really play with this color scheme.

Hello - I’m having a difficult time trying to determine what the groom and groomsmen should wear (as far as the color pallette is concerned). My dress is ivory, the bridesmaids dresses are burnt orange (Alfred Angelo) with some chocolate brown accents such as a sash or underskirt. So it’s ivory, burnt orange, and chocolate brown — where do the guys fit in? Help! My FMIL warned me about having the guys wear black since it will invoke Halloween colors (orange and black). I want a FALL scheme not Trick or Treat. Any suggestions??

sarah,
have youthought about a bbrown or black with champagne color scheme? for florals you could have blush and champagne with pale yellow florals.
since your not sure about your color scheme, go here and browse the color gallery, sign up free at theknot.com then click wedding photos it will take you straight to the details and another one is….

once you browse color schemes let me know what ya think. also what does your venue look like, it will help alot on narrowing colors.

hmm, well i’m almost certain i found my dress. And i decided to go with somthing traditional and sophiticted. So I’m sticking with champagne. And the second picture with the white roses and candles is looking very nice. and perhaps instead of periwinkle I could use a teal color like that in the candles of the picture.
teal and champagne. I think my fiance might like it too. :) thank you soo very much. :thinking:

sarah, i agree that is just gorgeous!! that is why i posted that beautiful pic, i love the way the blue looks against an all champagne , ivory, or white palette. i would have the linens and napkins champagne. i would have the favors in teal or white boxes with teal ribbon. just simple, strategic touches, so you will get that all one color effect with pops of color here and there. but not to much teal or it could lose its effectiveness and that is what makes the above pic so dreamy. its very subtle.

Stacey, My daughter is getting married on August 15, 2009. The reception will be held in a large open room overlooking the lake. All glass room. Her bridemaids dresses are a patina green, very close to a sage . We have Ivory linens. We were thinking about ivory, several shades of pink to hot pink, with a little splash of purple flowers. Dont know which colors would make the most impact. Thinking of using sashes of one of these colors across tables. Any ideas. I am a little confused. Thanks

paula, hi!! i found this pic and thought it would do the open room justice. i chose this pic because of its impact and serenity factor, which by the lake would be a plus. i do think you are going inthe right direction with the pinks, however, i dont think i would add the purple. it might look awkward in this case. i would stick with a simple pink palette, because you dont want to compete with the views of the lake, youalso dont wont to blend in to much and your reception look dull against the lake. i will say patina green and whites with orchids or roses with shades of fuschia on the edges would be a knockout especially with green hydrangeas. like here:

Hi,

My fiance and I love autumn colors so we’ve decided to have our wedding in October. I really want to do fall oranges and my favorite color is purple so I want to accent it with a dark purple. I really don’t know how it would look. I really want my bridesmaids’ dresses to the be the color on the picture, so that’d be the accent color. If anyone can give me any advice or help I’d appreciate it ;)

go to theknot.com ( sign up for free if you havent already) once you log in click on wedding photos ( under wedding planning category) it will take you to color galleries. browse through different ideas and colors and see which stands out the most. this will be the best way to see what you like. also what is your wedding vision? take a peek in your closet, what colors do you normally lean to? this will be another way to find out what your color pattern is. also do you have a fave color? let me know what you find and we will go further. talk to ya soon!! :D

my daughter bought a traffeta trumpet (mermaid) white gown and she was wondering is there a theme that looks best with this. she likes the colors navy and hot pink. color for bmaids dresses and color for reception and tux? she likes gerber daisy flowers. the dress from davids and its very flattering. any help would be appreciate it.

gail,
it is really a matter of taste. though these dresses have a subtle lean to the dramatic. they are purely stunning! i have seen this style dress range anywhere from a beach wedding to a glam affair. find out some key elements to her vision. navy and hot pink are a great combo! if it were me, i would have a elegant affair inspired by the 40’s. think supper club. ostrich feather centerpieces. this could be super easy to do and on a budget.
*feather wedding centerpiece
*navy and pink wedding pics

she can still have gerbera daisy bouquets, just add a bit of drama, pull in roses and a collar of feathers or rhinestones.
*feather wedding bouquet
*gerbera daisy and feathers wedding bouquet
after skimming over the links, let me know if this would be something she would consider. it is important to look at personalities and bring in what they lean too. remember a theme is not necessary. color can also be her theme incorporating beautiful elements that are close to the couple.
also check out theknot.com. click on the wedding photos link and go to the color gallery. you will need to sign up ( free).
another option. i saw a wedding in a mag years ago. teh bride wore a trumpet dress on the beach. the arch was made out of grapevine,green hydrangeas, gerbera daisies, and dotted with a few roses. the colors were green and white. she carried a simple bouquet of white roses, bm wore a shade of green carrying white gerberas. the aisle was scattered with a few white rose petals. the reception was all white, centerpieces were green hydrangea, white gerberas and roses. green napkins. the look was so amazing yet so simple. this may give you another idea. oh! the guys wore black. the black REALLY made the greenand white pop! i have been searching for that pics ever since but no luck. write back when they decide and we will go from there.

Help!!! I’m getting married this year in August and still cannot figure out the colors for reception.
My bridesmaid want to dress in gold, and there’s a sash on the waist cannot decide what color will look good. I’m also struggling with the decor. I’m having an outdoor wedding and want to hang on paper lanterns. I visited some stores and found they have lanterns in orange, yellow, green, pink, white and blue. Please tell me which color/colors to choose since the bridesmaid will be in gold.
Other items I want to use are butterflies and doves for the cake.
Thanks a lot

michelle, it really depends on the look your after. if you want more elegance have white and pale green lanterns with creamy whites, orange, green florals. for the sash have a simple deeper gold or mocha. for the guys have them in brown or black with mocha vests and ties.

look at this real wedding it has the green and white floral scheme. i love this wedding so much it is elegant yet the paper lanterns give it a touch of whimsical.
*inside weddings ( picture #5)

pink and gold is a great and foolproof color scheme!! you could tie a pink sash around the gold dresses and have reception in white and gold with green and deeper pink centerpieces, overhead hang green, pink, white paper lanterns. love it!!
i wouldnt have the green and gold cause it may look to holidayish unless it is a lighter yet beautiful shade of green ( like sping green). blue and gold just follow the same for the pink and gold ideas except use blue where i suggested pink. i wouldnt choose the yellow.
for visuals, google image pink and gold wedding then blue and gold wedding board you can also look at green and orange wedding

My husband and I are renewing our vows on a race track cus my husband races his mustang there. My husband wants the colors of the girls dresses red and the guys and him with white suits with red vest. I got red and white roses, red and white table coverings. My dress is a Alexia designs bridesmaid dress with the red sash. We are renting a hall and have some ideas on how to decorate it, but nothing set in stone. first question do you think the colors are o.k? and 2nd have any decorating ideas for the hall and favors? we will have about 60-100 guest.

hi am a wedding planner mysef if you would like send me some of your reception area photo and i be glad to help you with ideas if you are using circle talbes use glass mirrors with clear vase or red ,white,or even a black vase with one single rose in it with some clear or red pebbles around the mirror also if you use a glas vase you could use floating candles what really nice in a clear glass vase is take a rose with some red rocks in the bottom place your rose inside fill it up with water it look awesome if you want to go cheap because you would love to save money go to your grocery store flower dept and buy your roses and do that your self what cheaper also for your backdrop if you not having anyone come in to decorate you can use black garden arch decorated with face roses oh and instead of using white table cloth use black from your fabric store and place red,white ,black balloon on the table if you wanted to go that way also there are so many ideas to use but i hope this help to get you started plus you can place candy hearts that are red and white on the tables as far as gift favor you could use package seed with as easy as a ribbon tied around it with your names thanking them for share in your day or m&m ,choclate bar ,bottle water with your pic attached

My fiance and I are getting married May 2010. I knew right away I wanted to use a deep purple as one of my colors, but I’ve been struggling with how to lighten it up for summer because I do not want to incorporate any lilac or light purples. I was thinking either turquoise, aqua or some shade of light blue. Do you think these colors would work or do you have any other suggestions for a color to use with deep purple?

Hi..My wedding date is set for Aug 2010….we thought of going with blues for both my MOH and junior bridesmaid (my future step daughter..and her favorite color…) does anyone have a recommendation on complementary colours as well as theme ideas? I am a romantic, and our story (how my fiance and I met) is really like a fairytale…I have read that even your dress should completment your theme…and some of the dress selections recommended just would not suite me..I like the more simple dresses, with a little bead or lace, not a long train, strapless…any ideas or recommendatins would be appriciated!!

I thought of the blue too, then changed my colors to red. but when i was gonna do mine in the blue, i was thinking of an Enchanted forest/ Cinderella theme. i thought of white, silver, and light or a darker blue depending on the color of the blue for your dresses and lots of glitter on twigs, icycle lights in blue or white, candles, maybe your flower girls wearing fairy wings with flower rings in their hair. silver and blue table coverings. your flowers yellow, white, a couple shades of blue with some of that spiral stuff sprayed with silver glitter. I was gonna make a castle wall out of plywood, paint it like a castle wall, then put a piece of lattace in front of it with flowers vining through it and then having a bench in front of it or a bird bath with something in it. Then i was thinking of having my guest get there pictures taken in front of it. or do all that with out the bench and bird bath and put it behind the bridal table. If you do go with that I would have your bridesmaids wear the fuller puffier dresses. that’s all I can help you with. I hope it was helpful or gave you better ideas.

lisa,
i agree with paulas idea that sounds so romantic!! one colos is a simple blue and gold ( google image blue and gold wedding) also try blue and silver wedidng board. i personally fell in love with the champagne and blue pic. google image pale blue wedding
*light blue wedding board
* karen tran: wedding decor and florals ( check out everything here!! you will be glad you did!) also go to theknot.com click wedding photos and start browsing the color details. my theme would be rhinestones.

here is my suggestion. guys in black and champagne vests. bm in champagne carrying blue bouquets, with rhinestones. flowergirls wearing blue. ceremony decor in whites and creams. you carry a creamy white and champagne bouquet with jewels on handle. arch has suspended prisms. reception have centerpieces of white feathers in crystal vases, on front of vases have rhinestone monograms attaches on black ribbon to encircle square vase. champagne linens, black napkins, gorgeous blue and gold wedding cake with rhinestone cake topper. favors in lil’ blue boxes with black ribbon with rhinestones. lots of greenery will keep costs down and loks superb with rhinestones. candlelight will add beautiful fairytale romance.

can you tell me a bit about the colors you both like and dislike? i always recommend looking in your closets to see which colors you are drawn too, it is a great place to start! i think drawing colors from a nevada sunset would be gorgeous!! they are so known for their breathtaking sunsets. what is your theme? traditional las vegas or something simple and elegant. if i know what you envision i can pull some ideas for you. personally i would stay away from darker colors for attire it attracts heat. hope to hear from you soon!!

I am getting married September 19th 2009. My dress is ivory and my bridesmaids dresses are chocolate brown. The groomsmen tux’s are chocolate brown with the exception of my fiance and ring bearer whose tux’s are ivory. At the church we are using hot pink gerbera daisies and light green cymbidium orchids with other filler flowers. Then at the reception we are using hot pink, bright yellow, and orange gerbera daisies for all of the table centerpieces. I feel like I have chosen everything very carefully and hope that it will look beautiful like I have always imagined, but I just thought I would ask everyone’s opinion!? Let me know what you think…….

Jamei,
would you consider pairing it with a neutral like black or brown? fuschia really plays well off a simple neutral; really makes it shine. fuschia paired with brown or black looks sooooo good! this color shines when paired with a neutral. another color is taupe. martha stewart is famous for her wedding style and she really stole the show with this pairing
*fuschia and taupe

you can look at other combos like fuschia and purple wedding also fuschia and orange wedding also fuschia and blue wedding ( try adding the word board to these color searches for xtra results ex: fuschia and purple wedding board) then google image hot pink wedding and hot pink wedding board ( this will give even more pics) i adjusted the color since its similar. i also imaged navy blue and pink wedding board ( my fave 2 is the brown or the navy) this will make planning and decorating a breeze. also try fuschia and grey wedding board and fuschia and yellow wedding board. i am hoping you will find something you love by looking at the color schemes i provided. let me know!! anxious to hear from ya!! :mrgreen:

I used the colors of the Victoria Secret bag for my wedding. I used hot pink and light pink. Each is a great contrast for the other! I am attaching some pictures. I hope this will give you some ideas!

Hey, my wedding is July 31st 2010 and I’m really having trouble picking colors and themes. I’m thinking bout going with a redish-orange (persimmon on David’s Bridal) and a light blue (Pool on David’s Bridal). Are these colors good? I was also thinking about doing like a star theme since it’s July and doing kinda of a 4th of July theme but not so patrioticish just use stars.Any ideas?

meg,
youpicked a great color scheme. i love the star theme. have stars on invites, cake, hanging from ceiling in reception area. use blue hydrangeas. it will look fantastic against this!! i would have the reception area in the white and light blue then add dark blue accents. with the stars it would stand out. have lots of candlelight if in evening( make sure stars are silver) another thing youcould can do is use white christmas lights in greenery to add extra oophm. you can google image orange and blue wedding also orange and blue wedding board.

Thanks Stacey! I love the idea of all the stars and when I googled the colors I actually found this red and tiffany blue scheme that I absolutely love! I think it’ll be awesome with the star theme. what do you think?
