August 13th, 2024
Let's Talk Color...
As the wedding season of 2024 unfolds, couples are embracing color themes that reflect both their personal styles and the latest trends. Whether you're dreaming of a soft, romantic affair or a bold celebration bursting with energy, this year's color palettes offer something for every taste. Let’s dive into the top five wedding color themes for 2024 and explore what makes each one unique and unforgettable.
I love talking about colors with my clients. As a photographer, it is my job to capture the overall look and feel of a wedding, not just the moments. That’s why I remind my couples that their choice of color palette is more important than they might realize. For instance, if a client wants a moodier, rustic vibe, light pastels and white may not create the desired atmosphere. Conversely, for a lighter, vibrant style, blacks or muted greens might not achieve the look they’re aiming for. Ultimately, you are choosing not just colors but how you want your wedding to feel. Lighter and brighter colors tend to evoke a happier, airier feeling, while darker or muted colors can create a more moody, rustic, and romantic ambiance.
"Peach Fuzz"
PEACHES, PINKS, CORALS, AND YELLOWS
We can't discuss wedding color themes without mentioning 2024's viral trend. It's everywhere—blogs, magazines, groups—and for good reason! Despite its popularity, this look offers endless variations and photographs beautifully. Blending high-end elegance with vibrant summer and spring vibes, it evokes happiness and versatility. The theme typically features a main color like coral or peach, accented with yellow, pale orange, and warm pink.
"Serene Blues"
DUSTY BLUE, SAGE GREEN, WHITE, NAVY
This palette is a timeless classic, a staple in the wedding industry for years. However, this year, muted blues and greens have made a remarkable comeback. It's a calming palette that brides are using to set the mood of their special day. Brides leaning towards a moody atmosphere often choose navy, while those seeking a light and airy feel opt for dusty blue and white with sage green accents. This versatile combination creates stunning details and a beautiful ambiance.
"Petal Paradise"
BRIGHT VIBRANT FLORAL THEMED COLORS
This wedding color theme is perfect for summer or for any bride who wants her wedding to truly stand out. This funky floral-themed palette has been incredibly popular this year, and for good reason—it's versatile, fun, and whimsical. With pops of color everywhere, it’s ideal for the bride who wants to move away from simplicity and embrace a more indulgent, floral-heavy aesthetic. Hoping to continue seeing this in 2025 as it is so fun for the photograph.
"Dusky Sunset"
ORANGES, BLUES, WHITES, AND PERIWINKLES
At first glance, this combination might seem unconventional, but in reality, it creates pure magic. Picture the transition from a breathtaking sunset to the onset of night—the fusion of sunset orange and twilight blue captures that moment perfectly. This palette feels incredibly whimsical, and the striking contrast between the vibrant orange and deep blue often results in stunning ambience and photographs amazing!
"Spring Pastels"
PASTELS OF PINKS, BLUES, BEIGE, WHITE
Similar to our vibrant multicolored floral theme, this pastel version is perfect for creating a light and airy atmosphere. While it's often associated with spring, its gentle hues are versatile enough for any time of year. Pastels add a soft, romantic touch and brighten up any space.
