5 Unique Wedding Color Combinations

Jody Morse
If you want to be a unique bride, you might be looking for a wedding color scheme that is all your own. After all, there are only so many red and white or black and white weddings that your guests can go to without thinking that yours is just a snooze-fest. Plus, you probably won't want your friends to feel like you recycled their wedding colors or compare your wedding to five other weddings with the same color scheme. Here are five wedding color combinations to take into consideration if you want a unique color scheme.

Aqua and Black


Aqua and black can look very beautiful together, but you rarely see this color scheme used. Aqua is generally paired with brown, but black can be an ideal alternative. You can incorporate blue and black damask into your wedding for a very elegant look. Consider choosing aqua bridesmaid dresses with black sashes and adding a touch of aqua to your wedding gown. An aqua-colored wedding cake with black trimmings can also be very beautiful.

Purple and Orange


Purple is generally paired with green, while orange is usually matched with yellow and green when it comes to wedding color schemes. It's a shame because purple and orange can look very beautiful together. Consider opting for an array of purple shades, such as lavender and royal purple, and a bright shade of orange. Purple bridesmaid dresses with an orange sash or shoes can look fun and trendy.

Pink and Brown


Pink is one of those wedding colors that is rarely paired. If it is, it might be paired with yellow, orange, or green. Brown complements pink and, together, they can make for a very unique wedding color scheme. A pale shade of pink and a luscious chocolate brown can be ideal. For the wedding cake, consider tiers of pink with brown polka dots and brown with pink polka dots. Brown bridesmaid dresses with pink sashes and pink flowers can be ideal.

Blue and Yellow

Cobalt blue and sunshine yellow can be another very unique wedding color scheme. It can be an ideal option if you're considering a summer or beach wedding. With this theme, you'll want to opt for mostly blue with yellow trimmings. Choose blue bridesmaid dresses and a yellow wedding cake. Bouquets of yellow daffodils, sunflowers, and daisies will make this color scheme complete.

If you want to choose a unique wedding color scheme, it's ideal to think outside of the box. Consider what colors complement each other, and you'll likely come across a beautiful color scheme that is rarely used.
