Beach Color Schemes

Though they may seem trivial, a wedding color scheme really makes or breaks the entire decoration of the day. Since so many items in your wedding revolve around an essential color scheme, this is actually one of the earliest choices you have to make in wedding planning. 

The color palette you choose can be inspired by several factors: for one, you want to go for a look that will work comfortably with the venue and overall vibe of the day.

You can also go off of the season or weather, using pastels in spring or warm reds and oranges in autumn, for example. Most importantly, the color scheme you pick should reflect your personal aesthetic inclinations and style.

 

Aqua and White

Aqua and white is perhaps the most essential color pairing for a beach wedding. These invitations really get the sandy vibes going, showing your guests that this is how the wedding will look way ahead of time.

This gorgeous bouquet really capitalizes on the beach vibes, even topped off with a rhinestone starfish! The brightness of the aqua will really stand out compared to the ocean’s more muted blues.

Similarly, this bright and bold wedding altar will have you speeding down the aisle just to look at it! The neon shades of aqua here will have all eyes on the happy couple!
