The Top 7 Wedding Colors Of 2021 And How To Use Them​

The Top 7 Wedding Colors of 2021 and How to Use Them

These wedding color trends prove that bold palettes are back in a big way.

If you’re recently engaged (or if you’ve had to reschedule your wedding and want to switch up your original plans), these trending wedding colors for 2021 are bound to inspire your color palette selection. Thanks to industry experts, we got a first look at the new wedding colors you can expect to see everywhere throughout the next year, from attire to floral arrangements and beyond. 

“Lilac, pinks, corals, and even orange will be the key colors, but not in a traditional form,” says Nora Sheils of Bridal Bliss in Portland, Oregon. “Instead, we will see them washed out providing a softer, sophisticated feel. Texture will also be important, as we see layers of blooms and greenery replicated in the use of mixed linens, paper goods and even the serving vessels.” 

As a result of the uncertainty and challenges brought on by the pandemic, couples are turning to lighter, mood-boosting hues and going back to the basics for their 2021 wedding colors. Find out exactly what those colors are—and how you can use them for your own wedding—below.

 

Light Blue

As one of the most classic wedding colors, blue is always a staple in many couples’ palettes and aesthetics. But dark hues, like navy and sapphire, will be less present as lighter blue tones rise in popularity for wedding colors in 2021. Periwinkle, powder blue, cornflower, and French blue are just a few examples. The one exception for dark blues? Accent colors. 

How to Use It

The great news is that light blue is one of the easiest wedding color trends to adapt for any season or style. While it looks elegant and whimsical with other pastel colors (for example, blush and lilac), it’s just as pretty when paired with burgundy, rust orange and other colors that are typically seen at fall or winter weddings. You can incorporate light blue into your 2021 wedding colors by using details like chinoiserie plates, silk bouquet ribbons, colored glassware and of course flowers, such as anemones, hydrangeas, sweet peas, forget-me-nots, delphinium, and scabiosa. 

 

Green

Expect to see green tones everywhere in 2021, from actual greenery to color palettes that feature green as a primary or accent color. In recent years, green has become extremely popular thanks to the tropical wedding theme trend, but as one of the top wedding colors of 2021, green will take on a much more eclectic—and almost retro—vibe. Mid-range greens, such as olive, pistachio, avocado, and matcha (like the tea!) will bring a cool ’70s look to your wedding aesthetic. 

How to Use It

Use this rich hue as an accent to make your 2021 wedding colors really pop. Green is one of the most universally flattering colors (it looks amazing on fair, olive and dark skin tones), so it’s an easy addition to your wedding attire. Jazz up your ensemble with a green jacket or patterned tie, or outfit your bridesmaids in sleek green slip dresses. Green engagement rings are another way to rock this trendy color. And of course there are your flower arrangements—fan palms, plumosa ferns, and English ivy are a few options to try if you’re looking for greenery other than eucalyptus and philodendron leaves. 

Throwback Brights

Calling all ’80s and ’90s kids: this unique wedding color palette is a game-changer if you’re looking for something that’s entirely unexpected (with a hint of nostalgia). Fuchsia, yellow, teal, bright red, and cobalt are some of the new wedding colors you can expect to see everywhere in 2021. But rather than choosing just one of these as your wedding color, the trend will be to use a combination of them, resulting in a palette that’s bold and non-traditional. According to The Knot 2019 Real Weddings Study, the average age of couples getting married right now is 32, so it’s no surprise that these throwback colors are grabbing millennials’ attention. 

How to Use Them

There’s nothing subtle about these wedding colors, so we say embrace them in all their eye-catching glory. In this case, more is more! From patterned dinner plates to rainbow flower arrangements, neon signs and statement-making backdrops, going all-out with your decor will help bring these 2021 wedding colors to life. Your wedding stationery is a great place to establish an upbeat tone for the day. Decorate your invitation suite with abstract shapes and details, like squiggly lines, triangles and polka-dots to surprise your guests with something they haven’t seen yet (brush up on the Memphis design movement of the ’80s for an idea of what we mean).

Lilac and Lavender

Pale purple hues are making a comeback as some of the most in-demand wedding colors for 2021. But unlike the ethereal wedding color trends of years past (looking at you, blush), these aren’t your average pastels. The goal here will be to use numerous pastel colors together for maximum impact—think Taylor Swift circa Lover, with lilac and lavender being used alongside colors like pale yellow, bubblegum pink and mint green. The end result: a pastel rainbow effect that’s completely whimsical and fun, which is what we all need in a post-COVID society, right?     

How to Use Them

Since lilac and lavender are also types of flowers, the easiest way to incorporate them into your 2021 wedding colors is through your bouquets, centerpieces or other arrangements. But these wedding color trends are also popping up in some of the biggest wedding decor trends of the moment, including spray-painted baby’s breath, colorful cakes and pressed flowers (violets, cosmos and larkspur will keep their purple color, even after drying). Alternate between using these two light purple tones to create a multidimensional color palette that’s uplifting and fresh.  

Papaya Orange

You can think of this wedding color as an updated and punchier version of coral or peach. It’s slightly more saturated than its pastel counterparts, but it isn’t as bold as a rust or tangerine orange, making it much easier to incorporate into a variety of wedding aesthetics.   

How to Use It 

You can go one of two ways with this orange hue. Depending on how you style it, papaya orange can be bohemian and artsy, or tropical and lively. Pair it with other vivid hues, like magenta and turquoise if you’re having a beach wedding, or use it as an accent color for an earthy, neutral palette. Terracotta vases, cymbidium orchids, and lilies are just a few subtle ways to work this statement color into your decor.

Neutrals

Minimalistic yet bohemian neutrals are here to stay as wedding colors for 2021. Earth tones, like taupe, ivory and dusty rose, are especially in-demand for bridesmaid dresses, says Brooke Avishay of Orange Blossom Special Events in Encino, California. But these soft hues will continue to be extremely popular for wedding decor, stationery and floral arrangements throughout the coming months. Our take? Many couples are looking for wedding colors that evoke a calming, chic vibe, and neutrals perfectly fit the bill.   

How to Use Them

With a lack of bright colors, mixing different textures and materials will be extremely important to add visual interest and depth to a neutral color palette. Flowers and greenery are just two ways to achieve this. If your wedding decor is mostly white and ivory tones, details like pampas grass, bleached greenery, metallic pieces and luxurious linens (velvet, silk, faux fur) will keep the aesthetic from falling flat. You can also incorporate black as an accent color to give your wedding a more formal, sophisticated look.   

Yellow

Yellow is coming in hot as one of the new wedding colors for couples in search of a palette that doesn’t feel overdone or bland. Vibrant, sunny yellow is the particular shade we have our eye on for 2021, and it doesn’t take much of this color to make an impact. Its versatility might surprise you—prepare to see it popping up everywhere, from summer beach weddings to romantic outdoor fall celebrations.

How to Use It

Energetic yellow makes the perfect accent color if you have a mostly white or neutral color palette. Add yellow to your tablescapes with taper candles, linens, gold flatware, or colored glass accents. Yellow flowers, including sunflowers, peonies, and heirloom roses, are all gorgeous options for creating a garden-inspired aesthetic. Feeling more playful? We’re big fans of the citrus-fruit-as-decor trend—use fresh lemons, grapefruits and oranges as a creative addition to your centerpieces, or add illustrated citrus motifs to your wedding stationery and signage.

  1. Hello, i think that i saw you visited my weblog thus i
    came to “return the favor”.I am attempting to find things to
    enhance my web site!I suppose its ok to use some of your ideas!!

  2. Have you ever considered publishing an ebook or guest authoring
    on other sites? I have a blog centered on the same subjects you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my subscribers would value your work.
    If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an email.

  3. Hi there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website
    before but after checking through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
    Nonetheless, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll
    be book-marking and checking back often!

  4. Не секрет, что Интернет прочно вошел
    в жизнь и быт не только современного общества,
    но и практически каждого человека.
    С его помощью осуществляется множество различных операций и сделок.

    Ни одна крупная авторитетная компания не
    обходится без своего сайта, на котором каждый
    заинтересованный посетитель может найти не только максимум информации о ней, но
    и приобрести производимую ею продукцию.

    Результат обеспечен
    Однако не стоит думать,
    что наличие сайта сможет обеспечить постоянный приток
    клиентов и сбыт продукции.
    Для этого необходимо, чтобы веб
    – ресурс оказывался как можно
    выше в результатах поисковой выдачи.
    Как раз для этого и нужно продвижение сайтов, без которого
    эффективность работы сайта будет значительно снижена.

    Смысл этого мероприятия заключается в максимальном информировании
    пользователей о наполнении интернет – ресурса.

    Чем выше он будет находиться в
    результатах поиска, тем больше
    будет трафик посетителей на него.

    Сегодня мероприятия по продвижению представляют собой целый комплекс аналитических процессов значительной глубины, каждый из которых предназначен
    для решения определенной задачи.

    Существует такое понятие как
    раскрутка сайта – набор действий, имеющий целью:

    • увеличение видимости ресурса в поисковых
    системах;
    • расширение целевой аудитории;
    • превращение ее участников в покупателей продукции компании.

    Понятно, что цели сами по себе
    не достигаются. Для этого необходимо проведение определенных
    действий, важнейшими из которых являются:
    1. Аналитические мероприятия.
    Прежде всего, важно провести анализ
    действий и поведения покупателей с
    помощью специальных сервисов.
    2. Проведение поисковой оптимизации (SEO).
    Ресурс приводится в состояние, обеспечивающее
    его заметность.
    3. Повышение удобства пользования сайтом.
    Пользователь должен как можно быстрее
    понять его структуру и найти информацию (товар).

    4. Рекламная деятельность.
    При этом используются различные ее виды,
    одной из наиболее действенных является
    контекстная реклама. Кроме контекстной,
    часто применяется также медийная.

    5. Маркетинг с помощью E-mail. Недооценивать значение этой операции нельзя ни в коем случае.

    6. Маркетинг в соцсетях. Для успешной его реализации от специалиста потребуется
    знание массы нюансов и понимание
    того, что мгновенного результата ожидать не приходится.

    Нужно подчеркнуть, что эффективная раскрутка сайтов
    возможна только при проведении комплексных мер.

    Универсальность для всех ресурсов
    Указанные меры подойдут для раскрутки и продвижения сайтов практически
    любой направленности. Например, часто они используются для популяризации интернет – магазинов, предлагающих товары для строительства, а
    также для рекламы предприятий, производящих
    товары подобного и других назначений.

    Сегодня на пике своей популярности
    находится ламинат квик степ – инновационный материал бельгийского производства.
    Основное его предназначение – ремонт квартир и других помещений.
    Этот вид ламината представляет собой один из самых надежных и качественных напольных покрытий.
    Контекстную рекламу данного товара можно встретить
    на многих ресурсах. Ее появление там
    обусловлено комплексными мероприятиями по раскрутке сайта, на котором данный ламинат
    можно приобрести.
    Основной особенностью такого вида ламината
    является то, что он состоит из нескольких слоев.

    Их основой служит высокопрочная древесно –
    стружечная плита. Верхний слой товара представляет собой меламин, спрессованный с ДВП и обработанный инновационными материалами с применением нанотехнологий.
    Это покрытие обеспечивает высокую стойкость к износу
    и повреждениям (ударам и царапинам).

    Подслой изготовлен из высококачественной
    ДВП однородного состава. Это обеспечивает влагостойкость, а также надежность материала.

    Основными преимуществами ламината квик степ
    являются:
    • наличие уникального и
    прочного соединения Uniclic;
    • значительный коэффициент устойчивости к воздействию
    влаги;
    • обработка воском замковых соединений;

    • возможность использования материала в «теплых» полах;
    • качественная геометрия;
    • высокие производственные стандарты производителя;
    • возможность многократного использования.

    К наиболее востребованным сериям данного ламината относятся Unilic-700, 800 и 950.
    Между собой они отличаются
    по назначению. Так, серия Unilic-700 лучше всего подходит для детских комнат и спален,
    Unilic-800 – оптимальное напольное решение для жилых и общественных помещений, а Unilic-950 выгоднее всего укладывать
    на пол в магазинах, отелях, музеях и
    пр.
    Остается добавить, что замковая система укладки такого покрытия не требует применения клея.

  9. Captain and his co-captain was very friendly , funny and
    informative.
    We had the WHOLE family on board age range (8 – 78) and we all had a great
    time! Very MUCH worth the time and experience for all!
    BTW … I NEVER take the time to write reviews but this one
    deserved the extra effort!
    Great to meet the whole family. What a great time we
    had. Good company and new friends for life. See you next year!

    We took a trip on the Banana River to watch a rocket launch from Kennedy Space Center.
    Captain CJ and his wife, Jane are fun-loving, personable tour guides.
    They pointed out wildlife along the way and we all enjoyed ourselves.

    We had an amazing time with Captain CJ. The day was beautiful, warm and sunny.
    There were only the 4 of us on the pontoon. It was a fun time because it felt like a
    private tour. The Captain filled us in on a variety of information about the Banana River.
    We didn’t see very many birds and no dolphins or manatees, but that was ok.
    The Captain told us we were on Island Time, nothing rushed, just enjoy
    the day.
    Our family enjoyed the trip with breezy, sunshine,
    and fun stories in this trip. Highly recommended!
    What an amazing trip with the Captain. My family and I would recommend to anyone.

    If you’re looking for an awesome boat tour, give Banana River Boat Tours a go!

    It was so much fun going through the tour with Captain CJ.

    Would highyly recommend!
    Captain CJ is the best.
