Gold + Greenery

• Add greens. The most common green for bridesmaid dresses? Emerald, of course. But you don’t have to stick with one shade! Don’t be afraid to mix it up with a variety of greens, like olive or mossy shades.
• Use gold accents. Gold is a beautiful accent color that can be used in many different ways—such as through your centerpieces and wedding table settings, on chair sashes and bouquets, or even on the bride’s shoes!
• Make use of white accents. White is one color that nearly every wedding trend expert agrees is going to be huge this year—and for good reason! White flowers are delicate and will add an elegant touch to your wedding day look without overpowering other elements like greenery or gold accessories would do.

Gold + Dusty Blue

Gold and dusty blue are excellent wedding colors that complement each other. Dusty blue is an excellent color to use in your wedding palette, as it can be combined with other colors like black and white, or even brown. Use dusty blue as an accent color such as linens on tables or napkins at cocktail hour. The color combination works well because it has a high contrast ratio between the two main colors (gold vs. blue).

Gold + White

The first thing to decide when choosing a color palette is what you want the theme of your wedding to be. If your goal is to create a bold, dramatic statement, gold and white might be just the way to go. White is known as a classic neutral color that blends well with other hues and can be used year-round (not just during spring!). Gold makes a great backdrop for white because it has so much brightness and warmth itself. You’re sure to get compliments on both colors together!

If you want something more subtle but still elegant, opt for shades of gray or brown instead of black. These could work well at an autumnal wedding or even one held indoors in wintertime—but they may not fit as well with summertime themes like garden parties or beach weddings.
