Yesterday I showed you three summer color combinations - coral & jade, blue & white, and red, black & white. Today, I have three more exciting color schemes to show you. :)
Color Combination #1 - Orange & Yellow
Summer is all about the sunshine, and there is nothing sunnier than a bright, eye-catching orange and yellow color scheme. Just make sure to keep the orange and yellow bold and saturated. Darker oranges and golden yellows tend to look more autumnal, so to keep your color combination fresh and sunny, think citrus and not fall leaves. :)
There are so many great decor options for a bright orange and yellow color scheme. A lot of different flowers are available in those colors, and if none of them suit your fancy, you can still go organic by using fruits - oranges and lemons - to decorate. Since the colors are so sunny, they lend themselves well to round decor such as parasols and paper lanterns. Pick some that are made out of material so thin that they let some light shine through them to mimic the beauty of the summer sun. These bright colors also call to mind fruit-flavored candy, so play up that sugary richness with a candy table at your wedding reception.
Color Combination #2 - Dusty Rose & Gray
For such a cool color combination, dusty rose and gray is very hot right now! Gray is the new neutral - it goes great with everything, and adds a modern twist to your color palette. Dusty rose and gray is a very romantic, vintage color combination, and is on its way to becoming a new classic. Because it feels so timeless, it's great for a classic, elegant summer wedding - and the gray and pale pink help cool down a hot summer day.
This color scheme works well if you use multiple shades of pink and gray, as well as an eclectic mix of texture or pattern. Using different textures adds to the soft, romantic and vintage feel of the colors and adds a lot of depth to attire and decor.
Color Combination #3 - Blue, Turquoise, & Lime
These bright colors work great for summer weddings, and are inspired by trendy peacock feathers. You can use actual peacock features in your bouquets or centerpieces for a more sophisticated look, or just emulate the colors, turning the saturation up for a bold, bright, and fun statement. The dark, royal blue acts almost as a neutral for the lighter and brighter turquoise and lime green, and all three colors are so analogous on the color wheel that they mix well together.
Because there are two shades of blue used in this color scheme, it's perfect for the beach, or any outdoor venue, but it also works great indoors. Bring the bright, energetic colors of a sunny summer day inside with this color scheme, and don't be surprised when your guests are spurred on to keep dancing late into the night!

thank you. I was looking for a color palette for our church's prayer breakfast in May and this is perfect. We will add the metallic, gold.
