Coral: A hot color for your Spring or Summer Wedding

Betsy, our intern for the Spring semester, has put together her first inspiration board.

Coral is one of the more popular color trends in weddings for Spring and Summer.  Orange-pink hues ranging from melon to fuchsia can be paired with accents for a bright and fun occasion or for a more casual, romantic feel.  Lime green, bright fuchsia and a rich orange can make your flowers, reception, and your bridesmaids really stand out.

 

Coral inspiration board

 

This inspiration board uses lighter coral tones throughout for a more casual feel.  The colors I used were inspired by the tones in the colors blocks (top row).  I loved the lighter pink and coral hues, and the orange is a great accent that really makes the colors pop.  The bridesmaids’ dresses stand out with brighter flowers and a gray sash, another great accent for coral or melon colors.  The bridal bouquet is full of roses with the same beautiful tones, while the cake and invitations tie the theme together.  To make your color stand out even more, try a signature cocktail like this peach cosmopolitan.
