What are burgundy and navy wedding colour schemes?

This is a classic winter or evening palette, but it also works for autumn and formal summer weddings. Navy is the anchor: it feels timeless and flatters most skin tones. Burgundy adds warmth and romance. Together they create a sophisticated, slightly moody atmosphere. Add gold or brass accents for a touch of luxury, or keep it plain for a more understated feel.

For the ceremony, navy aisle runners with burgundy petals look striking. Bridesmaids in burgundy velvet dresses (for winter) or burgundy chiffon (for summer) stand out against navy suits. Grooms can wear navy suits with burgundy ties or pocket squares. At the reception, use navy tablecloths with burgundy napkins, or the reverse. Centrepieces of burgundy dahlias, roses and navy thistle or berries work beautifully. Candles in deep red and blue holders add glow. Stationery can be navy card with burgundy foil or burgundy card with navy lettering. For favours, think small bottles of red wine or dark chocolate wrapped in navy ribbon. This scheme photographs well in low light and feels polished without being fussy.
