2024 Wedding Color Trends for Fall & Winter

When it comes to fall and winter wedding colors, combinations of burgundy and navy are always a popular choice, but it’s also true that these colors have been wildly overdone. Although beautiful, they aren’t likely to surprise your guests, and it’s getting more and more difficult to incorporate them in ways that are unique to you and your partner.
This list is different. You’ll still find shades of red and blue, but they’ve been updated to reflect the current wedding color trends in 2024. Plus, you’ll find neutrals, pinks, and more that are fresh and trendy but still classic enough that pictures of your wedding will look just as beautiful in the future as they do the day you got married.

Old-Fashioned Red Beer Truck Decorated With Beige Balloons: Burgh Brides, Person in a White Brocade Tux Holding a Bouquet With Red Anthurium: The Knot, Modern Beige and White With Pops of Red Color Palette: Pantone Connect

Modern Beige and White With Pops of Red

True red is among the wedding color trends in 2024. It also happens to be one of the best winter wedding colors, but pulling it off does require some attention. You don’t want your wedding to look cheap or gawdy, which can sometimes happen with this bold shade. It can also end up looking a little too Christmas-y.

Make pops of red count by placing them against a backdrop of beige and white to create a wedding color palette that is fresh and modern. Incorporate unexpected details, like red anthurium in flower arrangements instead of roses, and have fun with red food trucks or serve decadent red desserts.

Cinnamon and Spice

Cinnamon and spice are great fall wedding colors. The trick to making this combination feel fresh and new is to avoid all the common, rustic tropes that often come along with these wedding hues.

For example, skip the lanterns filled with candles and light your space with rattan lamps and candle holders instead. Skip the burlap and cover tables with velvet table runners. Avoid the overdone donut wall and serve slices of cinnamon roll cake drizzled in caramel. This 2024 color palette is also the perfect opportunity to incorporate food and desserts with worldly flavors like paprika, cinnamon, and yes—pumpkin spice!

Simple Wedding Centerpiece With Mismatched Brown Bottles and White Candles: The Wedding of My Dreams, Wedding Invitation Suite With Leather Envelopes and Name Tags: Green Wedding Shoes, Deep, Rich, Melanated Browns Color Palette: Pantone Connect

Deep, Rich, Melanated Browns

Melanin wedding colors are among the top wedding color trends in 2024. When it comes to brown wedding colors in the fall and winter, we love the idea of using deep, rich, saturated hues that play well with the longer nights this time of year is known for.
This color palette really comes alive when you look for natural ways to include these deep, chocolatey hues. Think uncovered wooden reception tables, leather photo keychain favors, and a chocolate fountain. Brown glass is also a stunning way to decorate your ceremony and reception spaces, whether you choose a mismatched look of thrifted bottles or you want a more uniform look with ribbed amber-colored candle holders.

Mustard Yellow, Peach Fuzz, and Boho Neutrals Color Palette: Pantone Connect, Retro-Inspired Wedding Cake With Peach and Mustard Details: Rock My Wedding, Bride Wearing a Mustard Gown Laying Among Peach-Colored Flowers: Green Wedding Shoes

Mustard Yellow, Peach Fuzz, and Boho Neutrals

No list of 2024 wedding color trends is complete without a palette that includes Pantone’s color of the year—Peach Fuzz! When it comes to fall and winter wedding colors, we especially like the combination of mustard yellow, Peach Fuzz, and boho neutrals.
Jump on the retro trend with this color palette by printing invitations and menus in an old-school font, incorporate curved lines in your ceremony backdrop and cake, or go wild with roller skates and funky sunglasses. If retro isn’t really your thing, lean into the boho vibe of this color combo with hand-knitted blankets at your ceremony, fluffy pampas grass arrangements at the reception, and velvet bridesmaid dresses.

Bride Toasting With Her Bridemaids in Bed Wearing Pink Satin Robes: Feathered Arrow Events, Reception Tables Covered in Pink Satin Tablecloths with Metallic Cane Chairs: Adrienne and Dani, Iridescent Pink and Metallics Color Palette: Pantone Connect

Iridescent Pink and Metallics

Barbie is still very much top-of-mind when it comes to 2024 wedding colors. It’s fun to play around with the brightest pink colors in the spring and summer, but when it comes to the fall and winter, we prefer a more muted palette of soft pinks.

That doesn’t mean it has to be boring and overly bridal! Incorporate more of Barbie’s playful spirit by decorating with iridescent pink details, like pink satin tablecloths and pink frosted mercury candle holders. Pink iridescent fringe party curtains make the perfect photo booth backdrop, and metallic charger plates can reflect the light from candles, creating a magical atmosphere at your reception.

Dark and Moody Bridal Bouquet With Dusty Purple Roses: I Take You, Place Setting With a Dusty Purple Napkin, Grey Plates, and a Crystal: The Rustic Wedding Company, Moody Lilac and Gray Color Palette: Pantone Connect

Moody Lilac and Gray

Light purples are often associated with spring wedding colors, but if you keep to moody shades and pair them with gray, you’ll find that they fit in quite nicely at a fall or winter wedding.

Choose the dustiest shades of purple for floral arrangements with garden roses, carnations, and lisianthus. Groomsmen and bridesmaids are likely to appreciate the color palette, but if you’re feeling brave, the groom could wear a dusty purple suit and the bride could wear smoky gray. Birch details look lovely with this color palette, as do wispy fabrics like chiffon draped on tables and hung over a ceremony arch.

Reception Table With Greenery and Marseille Blue Details: Cake and Lace, Blue and Gold-Flecked Wedding Cake in Front of a Backdrop of Greenery: A Princess Inspired, Marseille Bleu, Black, and Green Color Palette: Pantone Connect

Marseille Bleu, Black, and Green

Among 2024 wedding color trends is the Brides and Minted Weddings wedding color of the year—Marseille bleu. This deep blue hue is a great option for those brides who love the idea of navy but want something a little different. It’s especially stunning against a backdrop of green and black.

It’s a great option if you like the idea of a formal wedding, as black tuxes and black bridesmaid dresses look lovely with this palette. Black is especially stunning against a backdrop of evergreen trees or a backdrop of boxwood with perfectly placed Marseille bleu details, like blue glass goblets and candles. These colors are perfect for celestial brides and grooms, as details like crystals, agates, and stars look especially lovely with this wedding day color palette.

Table Centerpiece With Protea in a Burnished Copper Vase on an Orange Table Runner: Junebug Weddings, Stuffed Pumpkins in a Large Metal Pot: Half-Baked Harvest, Orange and Copper Color Palette: Pantone Connect

Orange and Copper

Orange is a staple when it comes to fall wedding colors, especially if you have your heart set on incorporating actual pumpkins and other gourds into your wedding décor and menu. We like the idea of livening up these 2024 wedding colors by not shying away from bright orange hues that are paired with shades of copper.

Dynamic displays with heirloom pumpkins are lovely, but we want to see traditional orange pumpkins make a comeback! Just find unique ways to do it, like serve real stuffed pumpkins or decorate your cake with mini pumpkins. Actual copper details, like modern copper trumpet vases and copper-hued silverware, add the perfect amount of shine and class to this cheery fall wedding color palette.

Mini White Cake Decorated With Sage Leaves Surrounded By Cupcakes: Hello Productions, Flower Girls in White Dresses With Crowns Made of Greenery: Style Me Pretty, Winter White and Sage Color Palette: Pantone Connect

Winter White and Sage

White is a no-brainer when it comes to winter wedding colors, but your nuptials can end up looking washed out if you choose a strict color palette of white, even if you pair it with metallics, like silver. The solution is to make your white details pop by incorporating sage.

Garlands of sage and eucalyptus are a great alternative to evergreen garlands during the winter season. Whether you choose white roses or paperwhites, any white flowers will look stunning against a background of green. Succulents look lovely with this color combination, as do all-green arrangements if you want to skip the flowers altogether.

Plums and Sprigs of Greenery Arranged on a Pedestal: Style Me Pretty, Floral Arrangement and Emerald Velvet Draped Over a Reception Table: Weddings in Houston, Emerald and Plum Color Palette: Pantone Connect

Emerald and Plum
Jewel tones are a lovely choice for fall and winter wedding colors. We included emerald and plum on our list of 2023 fall wedding color combinations, but we think it’s still a stunning choice in 2024.

Luxurious velvet table runners and napkins are lovely on reception tables, as are centerpieces that feature real fruit, like plums and figs. Seasonal flowers, like purple mums, look lovely in flower arrangements, while monstera leaves can be an unexpected addition to bouquets. This color combo is especially stunning in venues with lots of stone, like a castle or a stone lodge.
