When it comes to choosing your wedding color, you want to do something new and exciting right? Right. Well, it just so happens there are a few new things going on in the world of bridal color palettes. Have you ever thought about decorating your ceremony and reception venues with different shades of sweet, dusty lilac? Did you know the fastest-growing trend in wedding florals isn’t something bright and covered in soft petals but the trusty, adorable succulent plant? There’s also the possibility of color combos and trios to consider, not to mention the bold move of adding a texture–like burlap or wood–into the mix! This is how excited we are about it all:
Feeling stressed? Don’t be. We’ve researched the top wedding color schemes of 2015, whipped up some Pinterest boards for your inspiration needs, and even snagged the best DIY projects from our site for each scheme. You’re welcome.
Marsala and Stone
I’m #verysupportive of the marsala and stone wedding color combo, but here’s the thing: it’s also become one of my favorite color combos in everyday life. Marsala is such a rich, passionate color. I just can’t stop…looking at it! And paired with a sturdy color like stone just sends it over the edge for me.
Emerald, Oak, Copper, and Cream
Do you wake up every morning wishing you looked like Arwen? This is probably the wedding color scheme for you. Equal parts woodsy and classy, this is a theme for the nature-loving DIY bride.

Mint and Gold
This trend is absolutely adorable. I don’t know who first decided to pair bold, glittery gold with a muted color like mint, but I think I’d like to kiss them. Such a sweet, fun idea for a spring wedding.

Succulent Sage and Blush Pink
So…succulents. I’ve got to admit I’ve fallen, and I’ve fallen hard. I know you’re probably thinking they’re much too unassuming to decorate something as important as a wedding with, but let me tell you, once you get to know the durability, versatility, and downright gorgeousness of the succulent, you’ll never look back. Pair their lovely sage green color with a dusty pink and you’ll be set.

I am convinced this is the ultimate summer wedding color combo. After pinning for an afternoon, this board is by FAR the one that made me the happiest. The idea of these colors gracing a seaside wedding makes me positively giddy.

Shades of Lilac
So I didn’t know this until a couple of years ago when I visited a lilac park, but lilacs grow in all sorts of different shades, not just the light purple we all know and love. It’s crazy beautiful to see them all together. Let this beauty inspire your spring or summer wedding!
