The Summer of Color

Brides Are Saying Yes to Color: The Rise of Bold Wedding Palettes

For years, white, ivory, blush, and greenery have been the go-to wedding colors. Timeless. Elegant. Safe. But lately? Brides are ditching the traditional neutrals and embracing color in bold, beautiful ways—and we are so here for it.

We’ve watched this shift firsthand at Four Fifteen Estates. From vibrant bouquets to colorful bridesmaid dresses, statement linens to painted arches and installations, couples are finding creative ways to bring their personalities to life through color.

Why the Change?

Post-pandemic, there’s a collective craving for joy, expression, and celebration. And what better way to reflect that than with an explosion of color? Couples want their weddings to feel like them—warm, bold, romantic, eclectic, or playful—and a curated color palette is one of the easiest ways to make a big visual impact.

Trending Wedding Colors We’re Seeing:

Terracotta, rust, and golden yellows for fall weddings with a rich, boho vibe
Cornflower blue, periwinkle, and lavender for spring and summer whimsy
Vibrant pinks, oranges, and fuchsia for brides wanting a fun and joyful tone
Emerald, mustard, and teal for modern, moody elegance
Multi-color palettes that break every rule—and somehow, still look incredible

Where Color is Showing Up:

Florals: Wild, untamed bouquets with a full spectrum of blooms
Bridal party fashion: Mismatched dresses in varying shades of one color family—or bold contrasting colors
Ceremony backdrops: Arches painted in sunset tones, draped in colorful textiles, or framed by floral explosions
Tablescapes: Think colorful glassware, vibrant napkins, or statement runners that pop
Stationery: Invitations and signage that feel more like works of art

The Best Part?

There’s no right way to do it. Some brides are going full-color from start to finish, while others are weaving pops of bold tones into an otherwise neutral design. It's all about intention—choosing colors that mean something, tell a story, or just make your heart skip a beat.

At the end of the day, your wedding should feel like you. So if you’ve been dreaming of a celebration that’s filled with color, laughter, and personality—this is your sign to go for it.

We’ll bring the backdrop. You bring the color.
