Whether you’re tying the knot or attending a wedding in winter, get ready for gorgeous, vintage-inspired, and classic wedding themes. From dresses to centerpieces to bouquets and even the wedding cake, expect both dramatic and natural palettes and, of course, a dose of metallic touches for 2018 wedding colors.
1 | Navy + Eggplant + Gold
For a classy winter wedding, colors like navy and eggplant create a sophisticated appeal. Pair these formal colors with a touch of rose gold or silver to add a bit of glamour that’s not over-the-top or stuffy. If you want to brighten things a bit, incorporate a hint of berry colors into this elegant wedding color palette.

2 | Sage + Gold + Ivory
For a traditional wedding, stick with a neutral color such as ivory but add a bit of wintery feel with sage or muted green. To celebrate the most special occasion of a lifetime, add a touch of wedding day glitz and shimmer with rose gold as an accent color.

3 | Black + White + Gold
For a Gatsby-inspired wedding that is both dramatic and timeless, select an classic color palette with black, white, and gold. Make a bold statement with these contrasting colors. The touch of gold will heighten the drama even more on such a special day. Gold is really versatile with any wedding season. If your wedding is towards the end of winter and beginning of spring, these spring wedding themes work well too.
4 | Various Shades of Blue
There is nothing more magical than a fairytale wedding. Deep blues and purples are a great way to create a regal air for a royal wedding. Lighter shades of blues and purples such as lilac and baby’s breath can soften and complement rich hues in this wedding theme. For accent colors, don’t shy away from teal and turquoise, which brighten up the wedding theme and can even elevate the wedding party.

5 | Dark Blue + Mauve
Who said weddings can only have light colors? Create beautiful contrast with dark blue and mauve against an ivory or champagne color palette. Stick with traditional colors for things like dresses, flowers, the veil, and shoes, but contrast bouquets, centerpieces, and other details by incorporating muted colors with soft and neutral hues. The contrast between muted and traditional colors will also add a beautiful vintage and rustic feel.
6 | Peach + Silver + Coral + Vintage Red
A soft peach color with coral or even vintage red accents can create some warmth for a winter wedding. A similar color palette with soft colors can also be used to bring in elements of a wintery landscape or create a scenic indoor winter wonderland. Ivory, nude, and pink are soft wedding colors that can tie in the whole theme. Silver and gold glitter or metallic accents allude to a magical sparkling snowscape.
7 | Vintage Red + Ivory + Navy + Silver
For an all American wedding theme, think vintage red, ivory, navy, and silver. If you love classic, patriotic colors but want a palette that is sophisticated and appropriate for a winter wedding, vintage red and navy with neutrals and metallic accent colors are the way to go. Aim for a one-of-a-kind wedding with vintage red.

8 | Warm White + Mocha Brown + Mulberry
While brown may not be the first color that comes to mind when we picture or plan a wedding, browns and a warm white are a gorgeous palette for a traditional yet modern wedding theme. Mulberry is a great accent color with the right shades of medium brown and a beautiful, warm white for a refreshed and updated look.

9 | Dark Eggplant + Raspberry + Ivory + Rose Gold
For a dramatic look that’s a little bit toned down from the high contrast of a black and white wedding theme, consider dark eggplant with ivory. If you want to add some color, add a touch of green or a rich raspberry color. This moody wedding palette is bold yet elegant. Silver and rose gold accent colors enhance the dark eggplant and raspberry duo for a truly unforgettable wedding.
10 | Midnight + Storm + Vintage Rose
For a retro and one-of-a-kind wedding theme, midnight blue and storm or cool grey with a soft vintage rose color palette makes for an extraordinary wedding. The deep and cool palette evokes the cool but dramatic feel of a midnight storm with the everlasting tenderness of nostalgic vintage rose. This color palette is great in both trendy spaces as well as traditional venues with antique pieces and decor that are essential for creating beautiful rustic wedding decor.
