Choosing your wedding colours can feel like one of the biggest style decisions you’ll make during planning — and the season you’re getting married in can offer the perfect inspiration. From light and airy spring shades to deep, moody winter tones, your colour palette can reflect the atmosphere, weather, and even your venue.
Here’s a guide to help you find your perfect seasonal wedding colour scheme, along with a few ideas for how to coordinate your groom and groomsmen’s accessories.
Spring Wedding Colour Schemes:
Fresh, Soft, and Romantic
Spring weddings are all about renewal and romance. Think soft pastels, fresh florals, and light, uplifting tones. Popular spring wedding colours include blush pink, dusty blue, sage green, and lilac.
These shades pair beautifully with light grey or navy suits — perfect for grooms who want to keep their look elegant and timeless. Add pastel ties, floral-patterned bow ties, or subtle pocket squares to complement bridesmaid dresses and floral arrangements.
💡 Swagger & Swoon Tip: Our Dusty Blue and Blush Pink accessories are perfect for spring weddings, offering a subtle yet sophisticated way to tie your colour scheme together.
Summer Wedding Colour Schemes:
Bright, Bold, and Joyful
Summer weddings are vibrant and full of energy — it’s the perfect season to embrace colour! Go for sunny yellows, coral, turquoise, or bold fuchsia, or mix tropical-inspired tones for a fun, modern celebration.
For the groom, a light-coloured suit (such as beige, light grey, or even pastel blue) creates a relaxed yet refined look. Groomsmen can coordinate with colourful ties and pocket squares that match the bridesmaids’ dresses or floral bouquets.
💡 Swagger & Swoon Tip: Try pairing a navy suit with bright coral or mustard-yellow accessories for a sharp, summery contrast that photographs beautifully.
Autumn Wedding Colour Schemes:
Warm, Rustic, and Elegant
Autumn is all about rich, earthy tones — think burnt orange, terracotta, deep burgundy, and warm gold. These colours create a cozy, romantic atmosphere that pairs perfectly with rustic venues, candlelight, and natural textures.
For the groom, consider a dark green, brown, or charcoal suit. Add warmth with accessories in rust, wine, or copper tones. Matching your groomsmen’s ties or bow ties to the bridesmaids’ dresses can bring the whole colour palette together effortlessly.
💡 Swagger & Swoon Tip: Our Burgundy and Rust collections are favourites for autumn weddings, offering plenty of texture and tone options to complement your chosen palette.
Winter Wedding Colour Schemes:
Classic, Cool, and Luxurious
Winter weddings often call for deep, dramatic tones and rich textures. Think emerald green, navy, plum, and silver — colours that look stunning against frosty landscapes or candlelit receptions.
A classic black or midnight-blue tuxedo is a timeless winter choice for the groom, while groomsmen can add festive flair with luxurious velvet bow ties or metallic pocket squares.
💡 Swagger & Swoon Tip: Pairing navy suits with emerald green or silver accessories adds a refined and elegant touch that feels both seasonal and sophisticated.
Your wedding colours set the tone for your entire celebration, and letting the seasons guide your palette is a simple yet effective way to create a beautiful, cohesive look. Whether you’re drawn to the fresh pastels of spring or the rich hues of winter, your colours can tie every element together — from flowers and décor to your groom and groomsmen’s attire.
