To embed vibrancy and a hint of drama into your wedding, look to highly saturated jewel tones, such as emerald green, navy blue, or ruby red—perfect for an upscale, sophisticated event.

Whether you opt for a monochromatic fête or mix unexpected shades, all of these colors will help establish a sense of place at your wedding.
