Choosing a Wedding Colour Palette – A Storytelling Tool

In the evolving landscape of weddings, couples are rewriting traditions and infusing their celebrations with unique, personalised touches. As we step into 2024, the choice of wedding colours has become a profound storytelling tool — a canvas on which you can paint your narrative.

Each couple, akin to an individual masterpiece, seeks colours that go beyond aesthetics, schemes that are inspired by moments in time. Perhaps it’s soft pastels that reminds you of the way clouds flush in the holiday sunsets you always watch together. Maybe it’s deep green and chartreuse from that first date dog walk in the mossy forest. Or it’s peach and lemon, because they’re each of your favourite fruits! We love to weave these stories in the subtle details of your day.

Choosing these colours is a journey of self-discovery — a process of unveiling hues that echo your personalities, experiences, aspirations, and shared love. The palette becomes a language for your celebration, a reflection of your unique story.


Chic Colour Palette Ideas For Your Wedding

We encourage you to break away from the ordinary and embrace a palette that mirrors the essence of you, transforming your celebration into an utterly extraordinary and unforgettable experience. Below are just a few palettes we’re loving, to inspire and encourage you to embrace designs written for your love story.

Modern Greens

Step into the future with a palette dominated by modern greens, the fresh and contemporary alternative to the ever popular Emeralds and Sages, look to Moss, Olive, Khaki and Chartreuse tones. Perfect for couples seeking a clean and minimalist aesthetic with a chic modern edge. Floral displays could include abundant grasses, with unusual green blooms, alongside fruits and vegetables for texture and that sense of abundance.

Ochre and Mauve

The warm richness of ochre paired with the delicate charm of mauve creates a harmonious palette that is both sophisticated and inviting. This combination is perfect for couples looking to add a touch of romance and warmth to their wedding. Transition through earthy pinks for a stunning tonal look, much like how a cloud flushes at sunset. This makes for a gorgeous palette for an autumn wedding - an alternative to ever popular rust palettes – picture flushed yellow foliage partnered with delicate mauve blooms reaching from within for a chic seasonal execution.

Cherry and Clay

Combine the boldness of red with the softness of clay-like shades, for a palette that exudes passion and romance. This warm and inviting combination is perfect for couples who want to create a cosy and intimate atmosphere. Playful yet utterly sophisticated, abundant red roses pair with peachy poppies.

Aubergine and Chartreuse

Elevate your wedding with the luxurious pairing of aubergine and chartreuse. The deep, velvety tones of aubergine complement the vibrant and lively chartreuse, creating a rich and visually stunning palette. This combination exudes sophistication and is perfect for a formal affair. An elegant soiree awaits with Dutch Master still life style floral arrangements with tulip cascades, scattered fruit, and abundant candlelight.

Ruby, Lilac and Cornflower

For a regal and striking ambiance, combine blue, lilac, and red. This bold trio creates a sense of opulence and grandeur, making it ideal for couples who want to make a statement. A stunning combination that reminds us of coastal retreats, perfect for a summer occasion in a sailcloth marquee. Dramatic drapes with bold floral displays, printed linens and precious personal touches.




The exciting journey of designing your wedding awaits. A day all about personal expression and breaking free from convention. Whether you opt for the regal palette or something more nature inspired, the key is to choose a palette that resonates with your unique love story. These colour combinations serve to inspire you to add a splash of splendor to your wedding day, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
