Summer weddings provide an opportunity to embrace vibrant, airy and romantic tones that set the mood for a picturesque celebration. This year’s trending summer wedding color themes offer a blend of timeless elegance and fresh inspiration. From sun-kissed hues to nature-inspired shades, here are the top summer wedding color trends industry experts are recommending.

Verona Sunset: Warm, Romantic Tones

EventInsuranceNow selected Verona Sunset — a vibrant shade of orange — as 2025’s color scheme of the year. It captures the dreamy glow of a summer evening and pairs well with classic white, lavender and green accents. This palette evokes the warmth of a sunset and can beautifully complement rustic or bohemian decor. Bridesmaids in warm-toned dresses, floral arrangements featuring dahlias and roses, and golden candlelit receptions all create a breathtaking aesthetic.

Peach-Inspired Palettes

Saphire Event Planning highlights peach as a standout summer wedding color, with palettes incorporating soft blush, coral and apricot. These shades bring a cheerful and romantic feel to any wedding. Peach pairs effortlessly with neutral tones like ivory and taupe, as well as with pops of greenery for a fresh, garden-inspired look.

Neutrals and Dark Green Accents

For a timeless and elegant approach, Saphire Event Group suggests neutral-inspired palettes featuring champagne, beige and soft gray. These colors provide a sophisticated base that can be enhanced with darker green accents, such as emerald or olive, creating a refined and earthy feel. Dark green elements in table settings, bridesmaid dresses and floral installations add a natural touch to summer celebrations.

Juicy Red and Soft, Less-Saturated Tones

The Knot’s trend report spotlights juicy red as a bold statement color for summer weddings. Deep reds like cherry and strawberry add vibrancy and passion, especially when used in floral arrangements or as a focal accent color. 

If bold isn’t your style, The Knot highlights soft, less-saturated hues, such as pale lavender, muted blues and faded yellows, for a more delicate and romantic ambiance.

Old-World Hues and Classic Green

For couples drawn to a vintage aesthetic, The Knot recommends old-world hues, which include dusty rose, antique gold and faded navy. These colors bring a sense of nostalgia and sophistication to summer weddings. 

Meanwhile, classic green remains a perennial favorite, symbolizing renewal and natural beauty. Lush greenery paired with crisp whites creates an effortlessly chic summer wedding look.

Blossom Pink and French Lilac

Kennedy Blue suggests blossom pink and French lilac for a soft, feminine and floral-inspired summer wedding. Blossom pink, a delicate pastel shade, exudes romance, while French lilac adds a touch of elegance and charm. These colors are ideal for garden weddings and pair beautifully with white and soft metallic accents.
