How to Add Color to Your 2025 Wedding

Color is making a major comeback in weddings, but striking the perfect balance is key. You want your wedding to feel vibrant and stylish, not overwhelming. Here’s how to incorporate color in a tasteful and intentional way.

Where to Add Color Subtly

1. Bridesmaid Dresses & Groom’s Accessories – Let your bridesmaids wear different colors within a cohesive palette for a dynamic yet harmonious look. The groom can incorporate color through a tie or pocket square.

2. Invitations & Signage – Your wedding stationery sets the tone for your big day. Opt for soft washes of color, watercolor accents, or a single bold hue paired with neutral tones.

3. Florals – Choose one or two statement blooms to add a pop of color while keeping the rest of the arrangements in a neutral or soft palette.

4. Table Settings – Instead of colorful tablecloths, add color through small details like napkins, glassware, or subtle patterns in your plates.

5. Lighting – Use soft, warm-toned lighting or colored uplighting to create a subtle ambiance without making the space feel too busy.

6. Desserts & Drinks – A cake with colorful floral accents, vibrant cocktails, or a dessert bar with a variety of pastel treats can add personality without overwhelming the overall look.

Tips for a Balanced Look

• Stick to a Soft or Muted Palette – If you’re unsure, softer shades or pastels create a refined look without being overpowering.

  
  

• Limit Your Bold Colors – Pick one or two statement colors and keep the rest of the palette neutral.

  
  

• Incorporate Color in Small Touches – Think about colored ribbon on bouquets, subtle embroidery, or a hint of color in your makeup.

  
  

• Consider the Venue – Work with your venue’s existing colors to enhance the space rather than compete with it.
