How to choose your wedding colors

• Start with the season. Light, fresh tones suit spring and summer; rich, warm tones suit autumn and winter.
• Pick one statement color plus neutrals. One hero color (e.g. burgundy) with cream, white and a metallic keeps things elegant.
• Match your venue. A garden suits sage and blush; a ballroom carries navy, emerald or gold beautifully.

Let one color lead (florals, bridesmaid dresses), support it with one or two neutrals (cream, white, grey), and add a metallic accent (gold, silver, copper) for sparkle. For more pairing ideas, see pink color palettes and what colors go with purple.
