Color Palette 1: Navy, Champagne, and Beige

Let’s start off the list of amazing color combinations with an elegant color palette option! Navy, champagne, and beige are the perfect neutral colors to throw an amazing wedding, especially if you’re looking to throw a hygge backyard wedding! Champagne and beige colors will neutralize navy blue, which means that the primary wedding details should be in navy blue so that these details stand out. Another reason to make use of this summer wedding color scheme for indoor and wedding ideas. The color scheme brings together the best of the summer ambiance. Furthermore, this color scheme looks amazing for tablescapes as well. 

If you want your wedding to be dressed in this elegant wedding color scheme, then how about some brilliant navy, champagne, and beige wedding inspiration?

Color Palette 2: White, Gold, and Green

Another amazing neutral summer wedding color combination that we simply love is white, gold, and green. The green for this color scheme can be swapped for deep green or sage. For example, you can have sage green in the combination if you’re tying the knot earlier in summer, and deep green if your wedding day is around fall. White and gold, both, add neutral touches to green. Furthermore, this color combination is perfect for a summer outdoor wedding! It is worth noting that this color palette in our list is tremendously calming. Furthermore, you can make use of deep green and sage green in the same wedding theme, if you want that is. Both shades of green will add a quality of “calm” to your wedding theme. 

If you’re looking for inspiration to make use of this color combination for your wedding, then we have some ideas for you! One of the best ideas that we love in this color combination is the use of massive woven greenery hoops or arches. You can plan a wedding with white as the cornerstone of the wedding color combination. Making use of greenery as wedding details is one of the most prominent wedding trends in 2022. Apart from this, you can also make use of simpler ideas such as a beautiful white and gold wedding dress.

To build on the same color theme, you can even have gold-accented details to add the finishing touches to your wedding idea!

Color Palette 3: Mauve, Gray, and Ivory

When it comes to summer weddings, cool and calming colors as wedding theme colors are quite common, which is why we have a unique set of colors that are neutral as well as different!
