Beautiful Colour Combinations for a Winter Wedding
How are you going to decorate for a winter marriage?
Statistically, the winter months are the least popular time of year for getting married, but winter weddings are seriously underrated in reality. A sense of enchantment and magic fills the whole season (especially when it snows), and the celebratory spirit around the holidays can bring an additional sense of togetherness to your big day. If you're getting married between November and March, an important part of your planning process will be choosing the right winter wedding colours. We have hand-picked some of our favourite winter wedding colour palettes to get you started, whether you're envisioning a holiday-themed wedding or looking for alternative decor inspiration.
What colours are good for a winter wedding?
Some of the most popular winter wedding colours are seasonal colours, such as red, burgundy, emerald green, and navy blue, and for good reason. Whether you choose one of these colours or use a combination of several, your winter wedding decor will add richness and glamour to the darker jewel tones. As they add an element of shimmer that is both festive and romantic, metallic gold and silver are also extremely appropriate for a winter wedding.
There are obvious ways to decorate a winter wedding, such as a winter wonderland-inspired decor or a Christmas wedding theme. Old Hollywood glam, classic black tie, or even a rustic woodland theme, will all work for winter events, just to name a few, but if seasonal decorations are not exactly what you had in mind, there are plenty of other options. Start by thinking about which colours you like if you're having trouble selecting a winter wedding theme. Consider a Gatsby-themed wedding, if you're gravitating towards a metallic colour palette. Go all out with a sultry, romantic theme complete with twinkling candles and string light for pinks, reds, or purples.
Marine Blue and Emerald
For both traditional and rustic wedding themes, this wintery duo operates. An easy way to get it integrated? Plaid and flannel fabrics, like these cosy throw blankets, are shown above as wedding favours.
Grey and white
A white and grey colour palette, perfect for a modern minimalist vibe, will give your wedding day a streamlined, ultra-chic aesthetic. To give this colour palette some dimension and depth, use a variety of textures in your wedding stationery and décor, such as raw silk, velvet, vellum, or faux fur.
Pink Berry
One of the best winter wedding colour combinations is an assortment of berry-inspired colours (fuchsia, plum, raspberry) if you get married on the cusp of changing seasons, i.e. Early spring or late fall. At the same time, this rich palette is fun and romantic, and it works for a range of wedding venues.
Black, gold, and white
What could be timeless anymore? Whether your style is classic, modern, or edgy, this colour combo can be whatever you want it to be, depending on how you style it. In order to soften the total vibe, add pale mauve or lavender as a fourth accent colour.
Gentle Holographics
To be one of the next big decor trends, holographic colours are on track. For a whimsical, celestial effect, pair pastel hues like blush, lilac, and butter yellow with iridescent accents.
Black and Plum
Burgundy is one of the most popular winter wedding colours, but when you're looking for something that's a bit more unexpected, plum purple is an extremely stylish alternative. Rocking on the big day with a tuxedo? Try a plum-hued jacket to nail a fashion-forward look with black lapels.
Light blue and silver
Silver and light blue are an excellent duo for an airy winter wonderland vibe. They'll give your wedding decor a classic-meets-contemporary feel.
Charcoal and Orange Apricot
We love this palette of colours that is somehow sleek and cosy at the same time. Dark black and charcoal grey details round out a barely-there apricot orange hue.
Pink and red
How sweet would these colours be for a wedding on Valentine's Day? For a Cupid-approved big day, use different shades of red and pink.
All of the white ones
An all-white wedding or perhaps a snow-covered landscape is reminiscent of chilly winter temps. This monochromatic palette is modern, clean, simple, and surprisingly luxurious either way. Don't confuse this with being boring, however! You can concentrate on incorporating lots of different textures so that the colours don't fall flat by using only white tones for your winter wedding colours. To add dimension, combine distinct fabrics, plants, and greenery.
Metallics About
Metallic wedding colours can elevate your decor instantly when used as accents. But you'll create an ultra-festive setting with a palette comprised entirely of metallics. Pair metallic gold and silver for a New Year's Eve wedding with dramatic black.
Maroon with brass
If you love antiques, try a maroon and brass colour palette for a vintage wedding theme. We imagine this luxury combo of colours accentuated by many mercury glass vessels, mirrors, candles, and upholstered seats.
Purple, green, and grey
Looking for winter wedding colours that are not traditional? We think that this stylish trio will love you. Earthy and a little bohemian are a colour palette of purple, grey, and green, particularly when you incorporate fresh berries, pampas grass and greenery, and handmade paper.

Mauve with jade
This sweet wedding colour palette is a winterized version of the popular combination of blush and eucalyptus that comes in spring and summer everywhere. Those colours feel less springtime evening and more winter romance by using slightly darker tones-mauve instead of blush and jade green instead of eucalyptus. Add hints of rose gold for shimmer and warmth.
Red and white in colour
Name a more iconic duo of winter weddings. We're going to wait. Red and white are, and for good reason, perhaps the most classic winter wedding colours of all time. They're synonymous with the holiday season and will instantly bring your wedding decor with a sense of winter cheer.
Keeping the real holiday decor to a minimum (save the reindeer, snowflakes, and Santa figurines for another day!) is the trick of using these colours in a tasteful way. To give your wedding all the Christmas-y vibes, the colours alone will be enough. For this type of palette, plaids, fresh evergreens, and metallic accents are all excellent pieces of decoration.
Green, gold, and white
Dress your venue in the colours of green, white, and gold for a wedding that is glimmering and gleaming. For your big day, this effortless winter wedding colour palette is one of the most timeless options.
Green Moss and Olive
We love these muted colours of winter weddings. Without being over-the-top seasonal, moss and olive green fit into a wintery aesthetic. If you are going for an Old World wedding theme, these colours are also ideal, as they pair beautifully with candle decor, antiques, and pieces of dark wood.
Purple and pewter in the dark
In a glamorous event, dark purple and pewter will bring the wow factor. Purple is a naturally regal colour and when you pair it with shimmering silver tones and sequins, it becomes even more opulent.
Cream, copper, and grey
Whether you're hosting an upscale ballroom event or a rustic barn wedding, this almost-neutral palette works for a number of wedding styles.
Blush, Ivory and Green
This is similar, but not quite as stark, to an all-white palette. Pair blush and different shades of green with white and ivory tones to achieve an aesthetic that is soft and romantic.
Red and brown in colour
For a rustic winter wedding, a Christmas-themed marriage, or a romantic Valentine's Day fête, red and brown are a go-to colour combination. To keep your palette from feeling too dark when using these colours, add hints of white or cream.
Blue Dusty and green sage
Traditionally, pastel blues and greens are associated with spring wedding colour palettes, but they instantly feel winter-appropriate when you pair them with darker colours like navy blue and rust.
Colors Moody
Feeling somewhat edgy and daring? The answer to this is moody wedding colours. Dark colours like burgundy, plum purple, and black will bring to your big day a sense of drama and mystery. The end result is hauntingly lovely, and a little bit gothic!
Caramel and blush
Serve all the cosy hygge vibes with a blush and caramel colour palette at your wedding. This hot brown hue can be integrated into your big day in a few ways: wood plate chargers, dyed silk bouquet ribbons, a faux fur wrap, upholstered rental furniture, and a drip cake.

White and the Navy
Put a twist on the classic combo of black and white by opting instead for navy blue and white. If you're hosting a black tie or formal event, these advanced winter wedding colours are a stylish choice.
