How to Choose a Wedding Colour Palette
There is no wrong answer when it comes to choosing your wedding colour palette. Provided you go for a theme that represents you and your partner, there is an endless selection of tones and hues for you to choose from. You might have had your colours picked out for years, or you might be stuck on multiple options or none at all.
Fashion trends may be important to you, or a timeless look might suit you better. You and you partner may have a signature colour that your friends and family associate with you specifically, or a favourite flower that you’d love to use in your decorations.
A wedding colour theme can be as simple as black and white or feature all the colours of the rainbow. If you’re struggling to pin point your preferred wedding color palette, follow our advice below to help you make this important decision.
Follow the Latest Trends
If you’ve followed our real life weddings or any other wedding magazine or vendor, you’ll see the colour schemes that have been having a moment in the spotlight – did someone say “Sage Green”? Trends happen in all areas of fashion, but they tend to have a little more longevity in the wedding fashion arena.
With neutrals and soft shades dominating our regular fashion runways, it makes sense that we’ve seen them making their way down the aisle. With bohemian styling having a major fashion moment, these colours have dominated weddings in the past few years.
2023 continues to see these colours influence our Farm House weddings as they work so beautifully with our outdoor setting. Other colours you’ll see more of this year are Earth tones, lavender, dusty rose and yellow.
Go for the Classics
If you want a timeless wedding that exudes elegance and style, classic colour palettes are a wise choice. You’re less likely to regret your choices and more inclined to look back at your photos if you go for a classic colour scheme.
Sophisticated black and white will set the tone for a classic wedding colour scheme with soft tones of white, cream, or pink flowers. Pops of silver or gold add a luxe feel but shouldn’t be over done if you want your look to remain timeless.
Pick your Favourite
If you’re feeling stuck choosing a colour palette for your wedding, start with your favourite. A colour that brings you joy is a great starting point when deciding on your theme. If it is shade that both you and your partner love, even better.
Remember, you are the ones who will be looking back at photos of your big day, so be sure to choose elements that you know you’ll love for years to come.
Be Inspired by Nature
The Gold Coast Farm House offers an amazing location for your wedding, with the National Park forming a natural backdrop of green around the perimeter. Natural elements such as trees, flowers, lakes, and even the sunset, provide beautiful inspiration for a stunning wedding colour palette.
Choosing colours that work harmoniously with your natural surrounds creates an effortless wedding colour scheme that is pleasing to the eye and looks beautiful in photos. Native flowers and foliage look elegant and harmonious paired with classic black and white or whimsical when used with neutral, bohemian inspired themes.
