Most brides tend to lean toward aquas and whites for their destination wedding. After all, if you’re getting married on the beach, then the venue is already decorated to match. However, some brides are looking to stand apart from the teals and baby blues that dot the typical destination wedding scene. If you’re one of these brides, you will love the following combinations.
Fuchsia and Kelly Green
Not only will these colors pop for a beach wedding, but they also match perfectly with the tropical vistas of the Caribbean or Mexico. Your centerpieces and bouquets can include palm fronds, and your florist will have an easier time finding local flora to match.
A spring-like combination represents the new life beginning between you and your fiancé. Today’s delicate bud is tomorrow’s open bloom.
Gold and Egyptian Blue
If you’re planning on wearing a white gown for a beach wedding, then you can experiment with darker colors for your theme. The groomsmen can be dressed in blue suits, or the bridesmaids can wear Egyptian blue dresses while the men wear gold ties.
Pairing a blue with a lighter gold or orange provides a strong contrast (especially against your white dress) and stays on the destination wedding theme. Once the sun starts to set, your whole party will match the backdrop.
Crimson and Mocha
These colors are for the bride who bases her wedding plans around the cake. If you’re slicing into a tower of red velvet, then dark red and mocha are the perfect colors for your special day.
Like the blue and gold theme, these colors are darker to provide contrast against the white sand beaches. While most bridesmaids hate their dresses, your bridal party will love sliding into a pair of daring red heels and marching down the aisle.
Sunshine Yellow and Cotton Candy Pink
If you’re in love with the Caribbean lifestyle, then your wedding needs to be bright and full of life! Pair the bright blues and greens of tropical paradise with bright yellows and pinks throughout your decor.
More and more brides are letting their bridesmaids choose their dresses as long as they’re the right color, so you can walk down the aisle next to your closest friends in alternatingly bright colors. Your wedding is a celebration, and these colors will turn the ceremony into a carnival!
Don’t be afraid to pick something crazy for your wedding colors. Your wedding day is a reflection of you and your fiancé, so it’s okay to step out of the box.
