Navy Blue & Gold
Navy blue and gold is a refined and timeless combination that brings a sense of luxury to any wedding. The deep tone of navy provides a rich backdrop that pairs perfectly with the opulence of gold. Since navy is considered a neutral, you can get creative with it and incorporate either lighter accent colors, like sky blue or powder blue, or bolder colors, like royal purple or coral, depending on your personal tastes. This makes this one of the most versatile wedding color palettes!
How do you infuse navy blue and gold into your wedding? Consider setting navy blue and/or cream linens for your reception tables, utilizing gold flatware for each place setting, and adding gold metallic accents into your personal décor, like for your card box and signage. You can then incorporate your accent colors into your floral arrangements to pull the look all together.

Blush Pink & Ivory
Blush pink and ivory are soft, romantic colors that work beautifully for a classic wedding. This is one of the sweetest wedding color palettes that infuses an element of charm and grace into your big day. The soft blush pink creates a gentle pop of color, while the ivory keeps the look light and elegant. You can combine these hues with gold or silver accents for an extra layer of sophistication, or go for a more minimalist vibe by going for a monochromatic look. To accomplish this, integrate hues like dusty rose and mauve. This will add depth and dimension to this wedding color palette without overpowering the light tones.
Although blush pink is often seen in spring and summer weddings, we are big proponents of using it all year round! It’s soft enough to use as a neutral for fall and winter weddings and is adaptable enough to layer with other bolder colors. Blush is a color we often use in our gardens’ landscaping! Mirroring this tone in your wedding design would be a natural extension of our botanical gardens and highlight the natural beauty around you.

Emerald Green & White
Emerald green and white is another one of our favorite timeless wedding color palettes, especially popular for nature-inspired or garden weddings. The richness of emerald green paired with classic white evokes calmness and coziness while maintaining an air of sophistication. These colors work beautifully with lush floral arrangements and natural greenery.
To accentuate this color palette, utilize lighter hues such as sage green or buttercup yellow. You could also lean into the jewel tones aesthetic and pair emerald green with colors like ruby and sapphire.
Here at Celebration Gardens, our gardens are teeming with natural greenery that would blend perfectly with this color palette. From the vines and bougainvillea that cover the canopy to the greenery that makes up our butterfly garden, we take pride in maintaining our pristine landscaping year round. Thus, selecting a color palette like emerald green and white would effortlessly align with our venue’s secret garden vibes.

Terracotta & Navy Blue
The combination of terracotta and navy blue is a fun play on the classic navy blue and gold color palette! Pairing navy with the burnt orange hue of terracotta is a delightful and unexpected color scheme that brings a gorgeous richness to your wedding day. Terracotta is an earthy, natural color that enables you to use it as a pop of color while not being overly flashy or bright. It will also help ground your wedding color palette to bring an element of timelessness to this aesthetic.

Terracotta & Emerald Green
Similarly, using terracotta with emerald green is a beautiful take on a classic wedding color palette! You can use this combination as a way to put your personal mark on your wedding design since this is not as commonly used as a jewel toned color palette. Terracotta and emerald green are complementary colors, so it’s only natural that they be paired together and can add cozy, autumnal vibes to your day.
When accentuated by contrasting colors like white and blush pink, the result is a beautiful blend of both soft and deep shades of color.

Tangerine orange and royal purple are fun and vibrant hues that evoke beachy imagery, perfect for the Florida sunshine. Using this color combination shows off your personal flair and the fact that you’re not afraid to go bold and play with color!
This palette works well at any time of the year, but especially for summer weddings when our botanical gardens are at their most colorful! Blend these hues with accent colors like ivory, coral and different shades of pink to create a multi-dimensional color palette that is truly your own!
