From the very get-go of wedding planning I was drawn to a romantic, vintage garden type theme where DIY details could really stand out and make an impact. Obviously, natural colors like mossy greens and creamy beiges would work well with that kind of concept, but I was really kind of at a loss as to what other colors would meld well with the natural tones I had dreamed up. I wanted a bright pop of color that would be reminiscent of springtime and flowers and that would balance the more neutral shades that were quickly becoming cemented in my mind. After a few weeks of looking at inspiration pictures and sitting down with Mr. A to consider our color scheme for the big day, I think I’ve narrowed it down to a palette of colors that enhance the garden theme while keeping it sophisticated.
And so, without further ado, I present to you our wedding color palette!

I’m thinking light and airy, with lots of natural textures like moss and burlap, and accents of lace and other pretty things. I can see the guys in snazzy tan suits and the ladies in bright fuchsia dresses. And I totally dig the votive candles in Mason jars look. Tres chic. I just hope we stick with the original concept and don’t deviate too much from the plan as the months go by!
What’s your wedding color palette look like?
I like it! Can’t wait to see how it all comes together!
I love your color scheme and inspiration. We are having the mason jars with floating candles in them as our centerpieces … what would I do without Pinterest?!? The burlap will look great with your colors too. We have a navy blue, pink, and cream color scheme. My girls were super excited that they can wear hot pink shoes – I figured it would be a nice pop of color against the pale pink of their flowers.
I just love this! Beautiful concept. My fiance and I are having a late september wedding and our colors are deep purple, teal and slate grey. Kinda dark but our fav colors.
Oh this is just so perfect. Love the idea of tan suits and bright fuchsia bmaid dresses!
This is going to be SO fun! Can’t wait to see it come to life!
Ooh I love it! I can picture the bouquets already, with flower colors like that!
I love the pops of fuschia and violet against the softer garden colors! Can’t wait to see it all come together!
I really like it, the fucsia will give a very nice pop of color. They do spell spring.
I love all the textures and the beautiful blends of colors! With the moss and the burlap and the pops of bright…so gorgeous! 
So many fun and exciting colors!! Can’t wait to see it come to life!
@JTT: Hot pink shoes=LOVE! Your bridesmaids are gonna be some foxy ladies! 
@jkingsqueen: That sounds so pretty! Teal is my absolute favorite color, so I KNOW it’ll look beautiful, especially for a September wedding!
@Mrs. Wizard: I totally want bright fun flowers, so it’s definitely part of the driving force behind our color scheme!
I love the pear and fuchsia balanced with other natural neutral colors. I think it’s gorgeous!
I can’t wait to see it and how you execute the color palette. I also love garden/vintage/chic weddings, so I’m very interested in seeing how yours turns out!
i can finally “officially” comment! i LOVE this scheme – it will be so fun for you to rely on the neutrals but be able to get some fun creative pops of color!
Oh beautiful combination. I can’t wait to how it all comes together!
I really like the look of your colours! I love the bright pop of colours!
Ooh, I like your color palate, I can’t wait to see how it comes together!

Serendipity threw us together again and again (and again) on our college campus before we eventually stuck, but when we finally did submit to destiny, we hit the ground running and never looked back! We’re planning a religious, small town, budget-friendly, DIY-infused “winter becomes springtime” ceremony and reception to celebrate the beginning of our lives together with the people we love the most, and are pouring our hearts and souls into making sure our wedding represents us as a couple down to the nitty gritty details and balances tradition with the quirky individuality that is uniquely and unequivocally “us”!
