What are olive and blush wedding colour schemes?

This scheme suits outdoor, barn or garden weddings because it echoes the colours of leaves and early summer flowers. Start with olive as your base: think eucalyptus, olive branches or sage-toned linen. Add blush in generous but soft touches, such as rose petals, napkins or the couple's stationery. The two tones work well with cream, ivory or warm white as a neutral. You can also bring in small amounts of terracotta or gold for warmth without losing the calm feel.

For the ceremony, olive garlands along the aisle and blush blooms at the altar look cohesive. At the reception, use olive table runners with blush napkins and pale pink candles. Bridesmaids in olive dresses with blush bouquets feel modern and grounded. Grooms and groomsmen can wear olive ties or pocket squares with blush buttonholes. For favours, think olive oil bottles tied with blush ribbon, or small pots of herbs. Keep signage simple: wooden boards with blush lettering on an olive background. This palette photographs beautifully in soft daylight and works all year round, though it feels especially fresh in spring and early autumn.
