What are plum and sage wedding colour schemes?

Plum and sage is a sophisticated and grounded colour scheme. Plum is rich and dramatic, while sage is muted and soothing. The combination feels organic and understated, with a hint of vintage charm. It works well for barns, woodlands and country venues.

Use sage for bridesmaid dresses, table linen or chair sashes. Plum appears in flowers, napkins or the groom's tie. Think dried lavender, thistles and eucalyptus, with plum-coloured dahlias or anemones. The two colours sit well together because they are both on the muted side.

This palette is easy to dress up or down. For a formal wedding, add gold or brass accents and deeper plum tones. For a relaxed wedding, keep everything soft and natural, with lots of greenery and wooden details.

Sage works as a neutral, so you can use it for large surfaces. Plum then stands out in smaller details. You can also add cream, ivory or dusty pink as extra accents.

If you are planning a civil ceremony, remember that religious content is not allowed, but poems and non-religious readings are fine. Check with your registrar if you are unsure.
