Neutral color schemes will always stand the test of time, but infusing your wedding with a pop of color will definitely bring your décor to the next level. While the options for potential hues to include in your palette are limitless, we’re partial to burgundy. Incorporating this reddish-brown tint into your affair, whether it’s through your accessories or your centerpieces, will evoke a rich, striking look with an air of sophistication.
Although this deep tone is a popular choice for fall and winter nuptials, burgundy will also enhance warm-weather soirées, especially when combined with bright pinks, purples, greens, and yellows. This tint also suits many types of aesthetics—particularly bohemian, rustic, glamorous, and forest fêtes—and multiple venues, from barns to ballrooms.
