Every year fashion runways predict colour trends, that flow into predictions for wedding colour themes. There wasn’t one single shade that reigned supreme, but rather a rainbow to choose from offering a plethora of inspiration on how to style your 2025 wedding.
From moody wine and burgundy hues to the zesty Verona Sunset Orange, unofficially dubbed the wedding colour of 2025, this year’s most popular wedding colour palettes delivered an abundance of ideas for every wedding style.
Whether your wedding style leans minimalist and modern or toward a more romantic, playful tone, you’ve undoubtedly thought about various ways to bring colour into the fold. Whether it’s simple, muted tones that are heavy on the classic white and neutral tones, or a splash of colour, your wedding colour palette choice will trickle across every detail of your wedding.
Most couples planning a wedding in 2025 were opting for a predominantly white and neutral wedding colour palette with splashes of green, pink, or blue as accent colours. That said, some of the more creative wedding trends give room for going bold with green, blue, and red lighting up couples’ mood boards as hero colours. We’ve also seen metallics, yellows, and black/charcoals continue to play bold accent colours.
