1. Classic Blue & Ivory

The 2020 Pantone Color of the Year is Classic Blue, which can stand on its own as a rich contrast to a simple white and greenery-inspired spring wedding, says Maryam Shariat, Founder at MoreFul.ly.

2. Blush & Grey
"It’s one of the most romantic color combinations for a wedding, which looks outstanding no matter what season you are getting married," says Lesly White of The Best Wedding Dresses Blog. She adds that brides might also want to opt for pastel pink instead of blush.

Color Swatches

3. Emerald Green, Fuchsia & Gold

Risa Weaver-Enion of Risa James Events expects to see 1990s color elements become popular because many of this year’s couples grew up in that decade. She especially likes emerald green and fuchsia paired with gold, as well as coral with bronze, and violet with silver.

Bold Floral

4. Orange & Pink

As couples choose to go bolder, Sarah Carroll of Small Shindigs says that orange is becoming more popular, paired with pinks and yellows.

5. Deep Burgundy & Blush

"Table settings in soft neutrals with accent colors derived from food and nature are always a popular combination," explains Amber Dunford, lead designer at Overstock. "For example, if you want to embrace the blush pinks for your wedding day, you should see a wide range of pinks from deeply saturated pink/ burgundy to a watery pale pink."
