I'm early summer (late June) but I love autumnal colours. My florist used the words"west coast" to describe the colour scheme I was showing her for my flowers. Reframing it with that theme has let me get over that I'm not using typical summer colours and provided a great source of Pinterest inspiration. Maybe talk to an experienced florist or wedding designer about the images your drawn to so they can help you nail down the right words to use in your search.

Also if you want deep jewel tones in your August wedding, go for it! No one will judge you and if they do, that's super weird, totally on them, and you can judge them right back for being a weirdo overly invested in not their wedding.

Also post pics in the future please!

The further I've gotten into planning my July wedding, the more I've realised that I'm drawn to autumnal colours. I don't have a colour scheme per se but I've drifted towards deep blues, greyish blues, with some burgundy and brass. Looking to get the guys in navy suits, then weave those sorts of colours in with their ties and boutonnieres. I'll see if I can share my album of inspiration!

Check out The Knot wedding website, they have tools and links to real wedding photos to help you select colors. I feel your pain, I started with the same idea for a jewel tone scheme, and then started thinking of wine colors. I still don't know what I am going to do yet. David's Bridal also gave me a booklet with a ton of color schemes. Good luck!

The suit color doesn't need to be part of your color scheme. The guys can wear navy, and then accessorize with the color scheme through their ties, pocket squares, and boutonnieres.

Use the colors you love. There are plenty of bright colored flowers in a summer garden

Vibrant Jewel Tone Wedding at Core Cider House | Junebug Weddings

Got married in June this year and had teal and gold - there it’s lots of Etsy/pinterest inspo

Do the colors you want and don't be constrained by the idea of needing seasonal colors.

ETA - We're not bright colored people either (my dress was black) but we ended up with peacock colors because it worked with the venue and skin tone of the bridespeople.

If you wanted fall colors, then have fall colors. This wedding is about you and what you love, it isn’t about June or what June loves. Don’t cheat yourself of your own perfect wedding.

You can go with apricots and sage or mints and still have most of your dream colors.

Black and champagne don’t mix well with “barn aesthetic” in my opinion

I used this app: https://coolors.co/

You can input and lock whatever colors you know you want - i.e. green and gold in the shades you want - and then just keep hitting generate until you see something you like! You can also increase or decrease the number of colors it is showing.

Depends on what colour you wanna wear! There’s way too many options!

How about peach and cream tones with the green and gold? The lighter colors are beachy and the green can offset the lighter colors.

This sounds similar to us, down to my husband wearing a muted rose suit. I'd bring in some muted blues to complement the rose/salmon, personally!

Maybe instead of starting with colors, begin with the vibe or theme you wanna go for, para you can narrow down from there? Do you want

• festive, Filipiniana?
• dark/moody?
• romantic?
• whimsical? Garden?
• greenery/forest?

That sounds pretty. Can you figure out why it isn’t working? Do you maybe need a couple additional colors? Perfect Wedding Guide has some nice color scheme ideas. I’d look there for inspiration.

That mix of orange green mauve is killing my eyes

I would keep the green, mauve and ivory, skip the orange and pale blue, if you want a 4th color i would suggest a deep purple, plum or something.

I played with your website and i suggest the 2A082C dark purple. OR replace your orange with C36854 Jasper and keep the plum for light touch

And i agree with the other commenter, you cant pantone check flowers in a garden so i would keep options loose depending on your garden flowers !

Its just my eyes and my suggestion btw

My own screen makes the color looks a bit different than yours so maybe im completely off. Usually i got compliments on my color theory but again, i can be completely wrong

I would check to see what's blooming in your area during July. Then go with those colors.

This could be a floral palette but it's too much variance for a wedding palette imo

What if you got rid of the orange and swapped the green for something closer to sage?

The best I can offer is not to get attached to specific exact colors if you're doing a garden party type thing. Flowers can't be exactly matched to pantone colors, tablecloths may not match with bridesmaids' dresses, etc.

I'd scrap the exact hex code thing and just go with "light blue, light green," etc. so you can preserve your sanity when you're in the weeds.

Hey :) I also saw that you’re getting married at Cafe Brauer, congrats! I’m a July 2026 bride. Have you found your wedding dress yet? Finding mine was SO helpful to figure out colors. I actually decided on a different color plan than what I had originally thought!

Why would it be terrible? How do you think people decorated events before hex codes were invented?

It’s actually a bad idea to have a very specific vision - the more specific it is, the harder it will be to match and the more disappointed you’ll be. Hex codes are WAY too specific for an event.

My wedding colors were blue and pink. My sister’s were pastels. A friend did jewel tones. That’s as specific as they needed to be.

You don’t need exact colors at all.

This was basically my color scheme, but we were in Mexico so it leans more tropical vs garden. The only thing I had EXACT colors for were the invitations and menus, but for our families outfits (we didn’t have a bridal party) they just needed to be in a certain shade and not exactly matching.

May wedding. We're going shades of purple and teal.

September 9, Dusty Lavender & Sage Green. I really don’t care about trends or seasons, I just want all purple everything and that’s what we’re going to do!

Emerald/gem green and navy blue. Our theme is travel so we're leaning into the earth colors. Hoping it'll come out nice

My sister did the cream / sage / beige thing. It looks very elegant with her venue in Carmel. It’s a very popular combo, though I think people are finally leaning into more color!

We did autumn rose (though our wedding was in February LOL), with rusts, burgundies, rose, some dusty peaches and golds.

I really love when people have a ton of color for their spring and summer weddings especially: bright pops of yellow and pink and orange. It’s just so happy looking! (Thought I understand it isn’t everyone’s aesthetic)

I don't have a color pallet. When vendors ask me, I just tell them bright spring colors. I'm not sure if I will regret it later, but it is making florals and decorations cheaper.

It’s not weird. I’ve never once seen someone’s colors and thought “whelp, wrong season.” My friend got married at the end of august and her colors were pinks, roses and golds so sort of springy and it was still gorgeous and I only just thought about the season correlation in reading this post.

Think of the season as being like a theme/colour scheme suggestion rather than a guideline.

I dont think I've ever looked at a wedding colour scheme and thought it was in the wrong season. I went to a wedding yesterday with a cornflower blue and sunflower yellow colour scheme. So what? It looked divine.

Now if you bring out literal Christmas decorations in June you might get funny looks, but otherwise do what gives you joy.

Autumn officially starts in September. Fall marketing starts in August. And even if it’s warm in early October, fall vibes are fully under way in the collective consciousness. So you’re good!

Not weird at all. Do what makes you happy :)

I think I am doing moody jewel tones for a spring wedding which probably isn't "in season" but I decided I do not care haha
