The 10 Best Color Palettes for a June Wedding

Shades of Pink

From dusty rose to punchy fuchsia, pink is a bright, energetic color that basically screams summer. There are so many fun ways to incorporate pops of pink into your wedding, whether it’s a ceremony arch composed of pink pampas grass and palm leaves or a wedding cake decorated with pink sugar flowers on a pink floral tablecloth. If you want to make this vibrant hue the focal point of your palette, pair it with neutral tones, such as white, acrylic, metallic, and wood. Wedding planner Heather Dwight of Calluna Events suggests combining the colorway with yellow for an elevated twist.

Dusty Rose and Sage Green

Dusty rose, with its soft, delicate feel, is one shade of pink that encapsulates the beauty of the early-summer season, according to Kia Marie, wedding planner and founder of Kia Marie Events. When you pair this hue with sage green, your palette will truly reflect the natural scenery. To balance out the mix and incorporate an air of sophistication into your celebration, Marie suggests completing your color scheme with a pop of ivory. “The combination of dusty rose, sage green, and ivory captures the essence of romance, nature, and elegance, making the celebration truly memorable,” Marie says.

To execute this vision, have your bridesmaids don dusty rose dresses and carry bouquets of greenery, while your groomsmen sport sage green ties against linen suits, per Marie. After trading vows, dine at tables wrapped in sage green linens and topped with centerpieces featuring roses and peonies in dusty rose and ivory. “The décor will create a romantic and elegant atmosphere,” Kia notes.

Coral, Mint Green, and Gold

If you love the idea of a pink-and-green color palette for your June wedding but you want to up the ante, channel similar shades with a splash of gold. While the vitality, enthusiasm, and joy of coral speak to the month’s balmy weather, mint green, with its refreshing, cool connotation, will ground the hue and create an inviting atmosphere, according to Marie. Finishing off the duo with gold accents will infuse your nuptials with opulence, perfect for a glamorous fête. 

Marie advises decking out your affair, from your bouquet to your centerpieces, in coral roses and peonies, accented with greenery. Then, bring a gleaming, romantic touch to your wedding with gold jewelry, gold chairs, gold flatware, and gold-rimmed chargers and glassware.

Blue and Lavender

Shades of blue and lavender produce a dreamy effect at any wedding, especially when you add white to the mix. Marie says she loves working these hues into a day's florals, whether it’s in the aisle arrangements or the reception centerpieces. A border of lavender delphinium leading to overlapping arches of hydrangea in ombré tones of white and blue will add warmth to a city backdrop. You can also choose seasonal blooms in this soft palette to naturally suit your vow exchange in a garden.

Yellow and Peach

Yellow radiates joy and warmth while conjuring up images of carefree summer days in the sunshine. Case in point: It’s the perfect shade to paint your June wedding with. A complementary hue that will enhance this cheerful feel at your summer soirée is peach, a cozy, punchy shade that captures the essence of summer. Wedding planner Tara Guerard encourages you to consider throwing other neutral colors like cream into the mix for contrast. If this is your dream palette, give your bridesmaids the choice of sporting a peach or yellow gown and decorate your altar, bar, reception tables, and dessert display with peach and yellow blooms. 

Peach, Terracotta, and Dusty Blue

For a slightly more toned-down and earthy take on the color peach for your June wedding, swap energetic yellow for rich terracotta and tranquil dusty blue. Painting your big day in this trifecta of tones will allow you and your guests to escape to a serene, blissful oasis in nature. Since these colors are grounding and organic, they are best for outdoor venues like gardens, vineyards, parks, or backyards. Plant peach and blue blooms along your aisle and across your reception tables, and look to terracotta for your centerpiece vases, glassware, and chargers.

Orange, Lavender, Pink, and Yellow

If you’re looking to incorporate a medley of vivid hues into your special day, consider orange, lavender, pink, and yellow. Whether you embrace a bold look or stick to an understated pop of color, these shades will add visual intrigue and nod to the local flowers growing around you. To highlight these hues, accentuate your palette with natural textures and organic tones. Consider an assortment of single-stem flowers in glass vases on a wood table or a multi-tiered cake engulfed in white fondant and covered in real blooms. “One trend we are loving is florals pressed onto the cake or growing out of the cake,” Dwight says. “We also love a cake table floral moment.”

Blue, Apricot, Pink, and Yellow

Another bold combination that will make a statement at your June wedding is a mix of blue, apricot, pink, and yellow. “This palette could be more pastel tones or could also be bright and vibrant,” Dwight notes. Since you’ll want these hues to stand out, host your event at a locale with a neutral or complimentary backdrop, such as an art museum, a courtyard, or your backyard. You can feature all of these shades in one single decoration, such as a centerpiece with in-season buds, and highlight individual tones like a solid blue tablecloth and green napkins. 

Pink, Blue, and Green

While pink and blue feel perfectly apt for June all on their own, integrating green into the day's design will further enhance the look and feel of your wedding. According to Guerard, the best way to work green into your nuptials is through the stems and leaves of colorful flowers. This palette works well for any outdoor celebration, from a soirée in a Lisbon palace to a tented fête at your childhood home. If you want to infuse these shades into your outfit of the day, Guerard recommends donning a pale pink dress or wearing blue shoes for your “something blue.” For a winning combination, choose signature cocktails or wedding cake flavors in the trifecta of colors, the planner advises.

Green and White

One of the most timeless color palettes for any type of wedding is green and white, and that’s certainly the case for celebrations taking place in June. Pairing white blooms with greenery is a common way to enact this duo at your wedding. “For June, you could choose more organic and late-spring blooms to give a garden feel instead of a more traditionally composed arrangement,” Dwight recommends.

Try an oversized runner of white baby’s breath to add depth and dimension to simple place settings and wooden chairs inside of a sailcloth tent. Another option? Exchange vows in front of a wooden arch adorned with white orchids and anthurium, plus monstera and palm leaves, at a seaside ceremony. Either way, the color combination is sure to wow.
