Choosing your wedding colors can feel overwhelming, but flowers are the perfect place to start. As a florist, I always suggest creating a wedding color palette based on flowers you love. Flowers offer natural inspiration, seasonal guidance, and a clear visual direction.

Start with what you love. Begin by identifying a few blooms you’re drawn to. Are you obsessed with blush peonies? Maybe you love the look of rust-colored orchids or deep burgundy ranunculus. Pick a few focal flowers and let their natural tones guide your palette. This is a great way to ensure your wedding color palette based on flowers feels authentic and cohesive.

Season matters. Some flowers only bloom in certain months, and their colors reflect the time of year. Spring is great for pastels, summer brings bold brights, fall leans into warm rusts and mauves, and winter invites moody jewel tones. Creating a wedding color palette based on flowers in season ensures your event feels grounded and fresh.

Let texture and tone play a role. Color isn’t just about brights and pastels. Flowers offer a huge range of textures and tones—soft, velvety, glossy, spiky. Add in neutrals like ivory, sand, or soft greens to balance out bold pops. The right combo of tones can make your palette look elevated without feeling too matchy.

Ultimately trust your wedding florist. If you’re working with a full-service florist, bring inspiration but stay open. We often create your wedding color palette based on flowers that are in peak condition and fit your vibe. Trust your designer’s eye—we know how to blend colors in a way that translates beautifully in person and on camera.
