How To Choose Your Wedding Colour Palette With Silk Florals
When it comes to wedding planning, one of the most exciting (and sometimes daunting!) parts is choosing your colour palette. Whether you’re drawn to soft pastels, rich jewel tones, or bright, playful shades — your colours set the mood for the entire day. As a silk florist, I love helping couples find palettes that reflect them — their story, their style, and their personality. Let’s dive into how to choose your perfect colour palette using silk florals that will look stunning and last forever. 🌸
Why Your Colour Palette Matters
Your colour palette ties everything together — from your bouquet to your bridesmaids’ dresses, and even your table decor. It’s the heartbeat of your wedding style!
With silk florals, the beauty lies in flexibility. You’re not limited by what’s in season or available from a wholesaler — meaning you can create any colour combination you dream of. From muted sage and ivory for a romantic countryside feel to bold oranges and magentas for a tropical twist, silk flowers open up a world of possibilities.
Creating Depth and Balance
A beautiful palette isn’t just about colour — it’s about balance. I always recommend a mix of base tones, accents, and highlights.
For example:
Base: your main colour (e.g. dusty pink)
Accent: a contrasting tone (e.g. coral or hot pink)
Highlight: a pop colour (e.g. ivory or soft peach)
This helps your flowers feel rich and layered without clashing. And with silk florals, we can play with endless combinations until it’s just right — no stress about seasonal stock or last-minute substitutions.
Finding Inspiration
Start with what feels like “you.” Look at your wardrobe, home decor, even your favourite artwork or travel photos — they’ll all reveal colour tones you naturally gravitate towards. Pinterest can also be a great starting point (just try not to fall down the rabbit hole of too many choices & way out of your budget 😂 ).
Think about the vibe you want your day to have:
✨ Relaxed and romantic – blush pinks, soft greens, ivory
🌿 Boho and wild – burnt oranges, mustard, deep green
🌈 Fun and alternative – hot pink, turquoise, coral
💎 Luxe and elegant – navy, gold, burgundy
Silk florals let you mix and match without worrying about fading, wilting, or colour availability — meaning your palette can truly be one-of-a-kind.
Making It All Flow
Once you’ve nailed your palette, use it as a thread throughout your wedding. From bouquets to buttonholes, arches to tables, even your signage — repeating the same tones makes everything feel cohesive.
A great tip is to take your bouquet as the “anchor” piece and let the rest of the wedding design echo its colours in softer or bolder tones.
Why Silk Florals Make Colour Easy
Silk flowers hold their vibrancy perfectly, meaning your blushes stay blush and your peaches stay peachy — even years later. They also photograph beautifully in any light (especially destination weddings where the sun can wash out real florals).
Plus, they’re reusable — you can keep your bouquet or reuse your arrangements for an after-party or anniversary celebration. 🌿
