CITRUS
Coral, Pink Glass, Evergreen, Blue Fog, Custom Olive
Play with these colorsPantone’s color of 2019 is “Living Coral!” Sweet as a sunset on a summer evening, coral offers depth that is simply intoxicating. Coral and light pink intertwined with organic greens and blues speak to backyard barbeques, summer peonies, or a walk through a cool foggy forest. Great for a late-spring or summer soirée, this palette creates a sense of whimsy freshness while still being ultra-sophisticated. It’s easy to set a romantic-meets-fresh tone with this summer color combo.
Cheers! For a different spin on a real “just married” statement, craft a signature cocktail or mocktail that is personalized to your style as a couple. It’s a fun way to elevate your reception and quench guests’ thirst.
SUNKISSED
Pineapple, Ivy Green, Soft Blush
Play with these colorsYellow! It’s the color of sunshine and sunflowers—making it a happy choice for a hot summer celebration. Yellow comes in a variety of hues, but we are so enamored with a pineapple shade as a trendy upgrade to the sunny yellows we’re all used to. Add in a beautiful ivy green and soft pink for a romantic and free-spirited combo that is perfectly befitting for a country summer wedding … and one that will leave guests smiling.
Summer weddings are magically effortless and airy—and part of their magic is vibrant colors! Create that kaleidoscope of color for the day by drawing inspiration from all the summer blooms that abound.
WILLOW
Green Willow, Celadon, Blonde, Peach, Lilac Mist
Play with these colorsWarm soft shades of greens and pastels are back again for summer, and this ethereal palette proves it. Green willow, soft celadon, warm yellow and peach, and delicate lilac purple together create a tranquil combination that’s easy on the eyes. This color combo no doubt evokes the dream-like quality of elegant summertime nuptials or intimate garden celebrations. A rural setting, shabby-chic décor, and delicate florals make for a great backdrop of this romantically relaxed palette.
Barely-there frosting is where it’s at, especially on hot and melty summer days! Naked cakes offer a texture and visual appeal that frosting can’t do on its own—and they are still gorgeous and totally delicious.
DEWDROP
Antique Sage, Pinor Noir, Soft Blush, Rainy Day, Greige
Play with these colorsLet’s take a little step back in time, shall we? A vintage medley of sage, pinks, powdery blue, and greige juxtapose together in a way that brings us back to days gone by. Light minty sage and greige are romantic neutrals that come to life when paired with warm and cool shades found in nature—think blush peonies and a serene summer sky. This mellow combination is great across any summer wedding style, but especially one with antique flair!
For an updated and modern feel to the timeless vintage wedding trend, choose an urban venue. Then adorn it with vintage décor such as old-fashioned urns to hold over-sized arrangements of flowers.
SURF
Teal Waters, Antique Sage, Mint, Ivory

Modern, hip, and minimal, teal adds a unique and astounding punch of color to any summer wedding celebration! Bold and vivid, you don’t need much for a picture-perfect wedding adorned in teal. It definitely makes a big, yet approachable statement when accented by subtle greens and ivory. Like the rolling waves of the sea, this combo flows with beauty and sophistication.

Peaceful and dreamy, this color combo of blues and twilight sun tones captures the essence and magic of an approaching summer evening.

Photographing a summer wedding can be tricky. Find a space with shade to prevent squinting eyes (and sweat!). Many photographers agree that the hour or two timeframe before sunset is an ideal time for photos.
