Navy Blue 

Navy blue is an amazing color choice for a summer wedding. Simply put, this color helps you bring in the beauty of elegant wedding ideas as well as gives you a chance to create an ambiance that is relaxed. Since both kinds of wedding options, an elegant wedding and a relaxed outdoor celebration, are great ideas for a summer wedding, navy blue is our first choice of color. Another reason why we want to put this out as our first choice is because this color can be used with dark and lighter shades of any color, and still give you a brilliant look. From lush greenery to pastels, you can infuse this shade with whatever you like. In this section, we will give you a few ideas, and some color combinations that will help you throw a lovely wedding, outdoor or indoor, with navy blue in the mix. 

Navy Blue Color Combinations to Use for Your Summer Wedding

If you’re looking for color combinations for your wedding, and you have something dark in mind, then choosing a color palette with maroon, magenta, teal, burgundy, and navy blue will help you seal the deal. If you’re looking for a wedding color palette inspiration with something softer in mind, then you can choose wintergreen, steel blue, navy blue, and white. You can also swap out wintergreen in the color combination, for lime. Also, you can also choose to throw in accents with dusty blue in the mix. Another color scheme that you can use for your wedding for a dainty and cute wedding color theme is to use white, cream, blush pink, deep pink, and navy blue.

Now that we’re done with color combinations that you can use for your wedding, let’s talk about the bits and bobs. Firstly, you can have the groom and groomsmen outfits in cream and navy blue. The supporting colors can be used as the color for their ties or bow ties for the day. If that’s not your style, you can choose to have navy blue bridesmaid dresses. Also, you can choose to inject more navy blue in the color ideas for your wedding day by choosing pretty flowers from the color combination ideas and using pretty broad ribbons to hand-tie the bouquets. When we say colors from your color combinations, we mean to ask you to choose flowers and floral details in the colors your wedding color scheme is in, this will help you tie every color together for the wedding. Another way to have your wedding colors is by choosing mismatched colors for your bridesmaids and groomsmen by choosing two colors and having them placed in alternate positions. What we mean here is, for example, if two colors you choose are navy blue and blush pink, you can have one bridesmaid dressed in a navy blue dress, and one in blush pink, and the same for groomsmen. 

Champagne 

Champagne color, to us, is the epitome of glamor and classy celebration. What makes this color an ideal wedding color is that it works for a wedding in any season. The color schemes with this color can be created with four or five shades, or with just one more addition, talk about versatility! To us, champagne color exudes romance, glamor, and luxury. This color has the capability to change any atmosphere!

For example, you can have a white tablescape with champagne details like vases and plates, you can also add champagne-colored satin napkins, or you can have champagne-colored wedding invitations, and pair them with champagne-colored wedding day accessories.
