The perfect colour scheme ties together the overall look and feel of your wedding, from the decor, the flowers to the entertainment creating an unforgettable night. At Hey Jack, we love seeing how our couples embrace the trends of each season, adding their unique touch to create a truly magical day. Whether you’re inspired by classic colours and textures or trendy and vibrant hues, your palette is about creating an atmosphere and bringing your guests into the world you’ve envisioned. Let’s help you find the perfect colours for your wedding in 2025.
Selecting the right flowers
Selecting the perfect flowers is a crucial part of not only your wedding day but also your colour theme and how that weaves into your wedding. For a touch of classic elegance, timeless whites like roses, peonies, and lilies add a refined grace. If you’re after a vibrant palette, consider bold gerberas or tulips that bring a burst of life and colour to your floral arrangements. For those who prefer a gentle and serene feel, look at pastel shades such as lavender, sweet peas, and cherry blossoms to create a soft, romantic vibe. These choices contribute to visual appeal and make your wedding more thematically coherent.
Selecting complementing flowers
Selecting the perfect flowers that complement your wedding colour theme is more than just matching colours; it’s about creating a harmonious blend of tones and textures. This allows the overall colour palette and design to enhance the aesthetic of the venue and crafting a visually cohesive and stunning environment.
Seasonal wedding colour schemes
Using seasonal flowers in your wedding is a wise choice for both freshness and cost-effectiveness. Each season has unique blooms that not only ensure the vibrancy but also the availability of your chosen florals.
Spring weddings can shine with flowers such as tulips and daffodils – Imagine walking down the aisle surrounded by the soft pastels or sunny yellows, bringing a sense of love and joy to your ceremony. We adore seeing how couples use flowers to bring a burst of colour and life to their spring celebrations.
On the other hand, summer in 2025 this year may feature sunflowers and daisies. Sunflowers, with their large, golden blooms, could be the perfect focal point for your wedding decor this summer, while daisies add a touch of whimsy and charm. In autumn months, we love to see the richness and depth of chrysanthemums and dahlias. These flowers add a touch of elegance and warmth, perfect for the cosy and romantic feel of autumn weddings. The deep reds, oranges, and purples of chrysanthemums and dahlias can create a striking contrast against the backdrop of autumn leaves.
First impressions with wedding invitations
Your wedding invitations set the tone for the entire event, offering the first taste of your wedding to your guests. This is often the first thing your guests will see, so it’s a chance for you and your partner to showcase your vision. Whether you prefer simplicity or something that’s a bit fun, this is where your guests will get the juicy deets. It’s your first chance to be creative and provides a fun sneak peek into the theme of your wedding. Invites often reflect the colour, theme and style of a wedding by using elements that resonate with the overall aesthetic. Elegant fonts, colour and subtle design elements like a ribbon or a wax seal can introduce your guests to the level of sophistication and style they can expect at your wedding.
Table settings and décor nuances
The reception venue is where your theme comes to full fruition. Using decor items such as; linens, decorative glassware, and centrepieces are key elements that can be weaved into your wedding’s theme using colours, textures and florals . These details are not just decorative but serve to create an immersive atmosphere for your guests, making them feel a part of your carefully curated world.
Innovative use of neutral tones
A modern trend in wedding décor is the strategic use of neutral tones with pops of colour. This allows for a sophisticated backdrop where flashes of colour stand out, providing visual interest and modern flair. It’s a dynamic way to bring energy and individuality to traditional settings without overwhelming the senses.
Bridesmaid dress palettes
Bridesmaid dresses are essential to the overall feel and appeal of your wedding. Trends for 2025 wedding colours are leaning towards soft pastels and deep jewel tones, offering a range of options to complement different wedding colour palettes.
For spring and summer weddings, consider 2024 colour theme trends of soft pastels like sky blue, blush pink, mint green, and lavender to create a delicate and romantic look. The advantage of these colours is that they can harmonise beautifully with floral arrangements and other decor elements, adding a light and airy feel to the overall aesthetic. Bridesmaids in pastel dresses can also blend seamlessly into a garden or beach setting, enhancing the natural beauty of the location.
On the other hand, deep jewel tones such as emerald green, sapphire blues, and burgundy are ideal for creating a rich, sophisticated atmosphere. These colours work well for autumn and winter weddings, adding a warmth and elegance to the event. Jewel tones can harmonise with your overall palette, providing a cohesive look, or stand out as vibrant contrasts, making your bridal party pop against a more neutral or muted backdrop.
The art of mismatch
The trend of mismatched bridesmaid dresses isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, this idea allows each bridesmaid to showcase a unique style while still maintaining a cohesive colour palette and overall look within the bridal party. This not only adds visual interest but also allows individual personalities to shine, creating a more personalised and dynamic wedding aesthetic.
To achieve this, one popular method is to choose one colour in varying shades or textures. For example, different shades of red, such as cherry, burgundy, and maroon, can create a rich, layered effect that looks intentional and elegant. This technique ensures all bridesmaids are unified by a common colour, but each dress still stands out with its unique hue.
Another fun look is to select a complementary palette that enhances the wedding’s main theme. This can be done by choosing different colours within the same saturation. For instance, using all soft pastels like blush pink, lavender, mint green, and baby blue can create a harmonious and visually pleasing effect. This method works particularly well for spring and summer weddings, adding a fresh and airy feel to the bridal party.
Incorporating greens
Integrating a colour such as green throughout your wedding—from floral arrangements to bridesmaid dresses and decorative accents—can create a refreshing aesthetic. This not only ties the different elements of the wedding together but also brings a sense of lushness and energy to the celebration. Green is an earthy tone that is so versatile for weddings. Whether this is a backdrop, florals, or dresses, green is timeless, clean and natural.
Green naturally lends itself to outdoor weddings – whether that is reception or ceremony and allows for a complimentary tone all around. With a green base, you can have fun with complimenting colours, whether you stay simple with natural tones and whites, or add some pops of colour throughout.
