May can also include some lovely sky blues and other early summer vibes. May is also a great time to bring in soft yellows, like champagne.

Further, since you’re more likely to have an outdoor wedding in warmer May, earthy tones are a great choice. Below, we list three more May color palettes with examples.

Blush and Champagne

If you’re looking to go really sparkly with it, these gorgeous invitations will bring the glam factor to your lovely May day.

For a bouquet, you’ll want something that is both bright and soft. The colors in this one are somehow both subdued and vibrant, just like the easy warmth of mid-May.

Decorating your reception space like this, especially with the natural textures of the large centerpiece, balances out the glamorous elements of the colors with the earthiness of the season.

This mood board continues with the tall centerpieces motif, while still contributing sparkly bridesmaid dress ideas and even a flower wall to get some spring fever in your space!

Cornflower Blue and Peach

To balance a spring and summer look, try some shades or variations of cornflower blue. This soft cornflower invitation rejects nautical stereotypes with peach and blush roses decorating its borders.

This rustic bouquet includes baby’s breath, giving it a relaxed barn vibe. The pops of cornflower are perfectly complemented.

If you’re looking to get extra rustic, lining your aisle with these arrangements in pink mason jars is super cute and cozy. It also shows how nicely the blue matches that of the sky.
