If you feel like working around bridal gown to decide on flower colors the day of your wedding, matching them it’s actually a very straightforward exercise. White will make all flower colors come into play. With other color gowns though, the palette narrows to:
- White flowers for contrast
- Flowers in shades of the same color of gown for a textured monochrome look, and/or
- Color flowers opposite – in the artist’s color wheel [1] – to that of the color of your gown for a complimentary match.

- Season: Choosing flowers in season will not only save you dearly but will also lend guidance if you want to expand on color palettes associated with spring, summer, fall or winter.
- Time of day: If you are having an outdoors wedding, daylight will reflect off white, multicolor, solid and bright colored flowers beautifully. Indoor or nighttime lighting will be aided by white and lighter shades of different hues.
- Venue: Venue lighting and colors will have the same influence as time of day and season colors.
- Theme: How you weave the story of your relationship and the meaning of the bond you are entering and celebrating that day.
It's in color that nature makes itself beautiful, and in color that it survives because it is through color that nature weaves and attracts, that it naturally bonds. [2] Color is something to which we are naturally predisposed to both react and be drawn to, [3] and we each have a unique relationship with color. We can be monochrome in our tastes or have all colors be our favorite color. We can love colors toghether when they both clash or when they harmonize. We can love them when they are delicate or fiery, or we may even love to wear nothing but white or all black.
So come think about it, tastes in color may actually be part of what attracted you to the person you are getting married to in the first place. And something you can easily incorporate to your wedding by making flower colors as much a matter of personal choice and style, as about you and your love story. To make flower colors that day something unique to the character of your relationship, to the bond you and your loving partner will enter and celebrate that day. Yours and your couple’s favorite colors for example, even if they are by all other accounts a mismatch.
It might just be that they are perfect together, and so the best flower colors for your wedding.
