Soft pinks and baby blues are wildly popular for baby showers, but combining the two gives you a fresh color palette for a spring wedding. Combining delicate pinks and dusty, soft blues evokes the playful feeling of the season with a touch of sophistication — and with an ombré effect, you can add some bonus purple into the mix.
3. Soft White
Design: Phrosne Ras
Matching invitation: Floral Silhouettes Invitation
A popular choice for spring nuptials is an all-white wedding look, especially an outdoor wedding where you’ll be among greenery and flowers. Choose a shade of white that feels soft and warm, and use it across your wedding cake, table linens, and wedding decor for a chic, luxe effect. For instance, you can opt for shades of off-white for added visual interest. Stick with a traditional white wedding dress or white suit to match your color scheme, or choose a bold contrasting color for your big day.
4. Orange and Green

5. Shades of Light Blue

Blue is a popular wedding color, and light or dusky blues are especially favored for a spring wedding.

6. Shades of Purple

As with blue, purple weddings are ideal for the spring season. You can go rustic with hints of lavender in your floral bouquets, or choose a soft lilac or mauve for a sophisticated feel. Dress your bridal party in a range of purple tones for a look that feels put-together yet has that free-spirited springtime feeling.
7. Ivory and Mint Green

For a tried-and-true color combination, consider pairing warm hues of white (think ivory, vanilla, cream, or eggshell) with pretty pops of mint green. This color combo feels fresh, which is perfect for springtime, and also nostalgic, which is perfect for a vintage wedding.
8. Coral and Teal
Design: Phrosne Ras
Matching invitation: Vibrant Boho Boutique Invitation
Spring might be a season that makes us think of pastel tones and wildflowers, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go bold with your color choices. Try mixing coral and teal for one of our favorite spring wedding color combinations. These two striking colors create an upbeat feel that is ideal for a tropical wedding.
9. Shades of Pink
Design: See That There
Matching invitation: Ethereal Roses Invitation
Pink is one of the most popular colors for wedding day color schemes, and it’s no wonder why.

10. Pink and Yellow

Matching invitation: Maximalist Starburst Invitation
Soft colors are our go-to for spring, and pairing pink with yellow gives you a color combination that feels like a perfect match.

11. Soft Neutrals
Design: Owl and Toad
Matching invitation: Boho Papel Picado Invitation
In spring, gardens explode with color, so consider a subdued wedding color palette that lets nature take center stage. Weave in warm neutrals to your wedding decor — the good news is, you can take this in any direction you like, whether it’s boho-chic or high-end luxury.
12. Peach
Design: WonderWed
Matching invitation: Romantic Floral Border Invitation
If you want a feature color that has the warmth of pink but doesn’t feel so “pink,” peach is our go-to choice. It’s the perfect color to add interest to your celebration — whether it’s the main color or a complementary tone. Soft peaches work beautifully for table linens, online invitations, and wedding bouquets.
13. White and Green
Design: Inkblot
Matching invitation: Vivid Whimsy Invitation
Who says jewel tones are only for fall weddings? There’s no rule saying you can’t feature gorgeous emerald hues at your spring wedding. To keep things feeling fresh, pair a striking green with a bold white. This wedding color combo feels contemporary and clean, plus it works well for modern venues or those with an artsy theme.
14. Bold Yellow and Orange
Design: Loree Mayer Design
Matching invitation: Bold Citrus Invitation
Feeling a little envious of all those sunflowers you see in summer wedding inspiration posts? Bring some of that magic into your spring wedding colors with a mix of bold yellows and oranges. Use sunflowers as your inspiration, or look to fresh fruits for a more European-inspired look.
15. Navy and White
Design: Vera Lim
Matching invitation: Minimal Vine Invitation
Navy blue and white is a classic wedding color combination that shines in any season, including spring. Featuring navy blue within your color palette means you can swap it for black in nearly every situation — including groomsmen’s suits, table decorations, and seating charts. It’s a color palette that works for many styles, including a nautical wedding.
16. Rainbow Brights
Design: Signature Greenvelope
Matching invitation: Confetti Burst Invitation
If you love bright and bold colors, use your big day as the perfect opportunity to bring out your joy with a rainbow wedding theme.

This is a fun wedding theme if you want something more upbeat and playful.
17. Spring Pastel Mix
