Summer wedding colours – 14 Gorgeous colour combos

We absolutely love summer weddings here at Rivervale Barn. The gardens are glorious, light fills the Ceremony Barn and the Dining Barn is ready to be dressed to perfection. To really bring your summer wedding to life, you need a gorgeous colour palette and we’ve rounded up 14 of our favourite wedding colour schemes for you right here. The hardest thing now is deciding which one you’re going to choose!

1. Mint Green

This is such a fresh colour for summer weddings and you can add in other colours for contrast too. Corals, pinks, greys and even hints of gold all work really well with mint green. For a super easy wedding DIY, just paint jars or tins in your chosen colour combo and fill with fresh flowers for cute summer decorations.

2. Blue & Peach

Perhaps an unexpected combination but blue is the perfect foil for pretty peach. Take you pick of blue tones from navy through to pale pastels and create a colour scheme that’s just so summery. Add romance to you day with a bouquet finished with trailing ribbons or keep it seasonal and include fresh peaches in your decorations!

3. Green & Blush

Now this is such an amazingly elegant and timeless colour scheme but it’s probably not one that you’d think of straight away. However, imagine combining lots of lovely foliage with hints of blush pink and you’ll understand why this colour combo is perfect for a summer wedding.

4. Lavender, Blush & Grey

If you’re looking for a vintage inspired colour scheme for your wedding, look no further. This combination works so well for summer and it has such an old-school charm about it. Vary the proportions of colour that you use throughout the day to create different looks that all work together.

5. Lilac & Mauve

Purples have long been incredibly popular for weddings and it’s easy to see why. A lilac and mauve scheme takes two of our favourite shades and brings them together to create something that’s beyond perfect for summer weddings at Rivervale Barn.

6. Corals

Carola has to be one of the best colours for a summer wedding. It’s a little bit stronger than blush and peach but not as bold as hot pink plus you can add in other colours and even metallics for contrast if you’d like. We love seeing bouquets full of coral flowers and cakes covered in more coral coloured blooms.

7. Summer Berries

Berry reds might be popular for autumn and even winter weddings but there’s no reason why you can’t feel fruity in the summer too. Pick the bright colours of strawberries and raspberries and you’ll be absolutely spot on. Don’t forget to include lots of yummy details that your guests will love!

8. Sunshine Yellow

What could be better for summer than a sunshine yellow colour scheme? Even if the weather is a little grey on your big day, this bright palette will soon lift the spirits. Mix whites and green with your yellow details for a look that’s absolutely as fresh as a daisy!
