What are some popular colors for a wedding?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For the bridal party

Short answer

Popular wedding colours in the UK include sage green, dusty blue, blush pink, terracotta, ivory, navy, burgundy and soft grey. These work across seasons and venues. You can pair them with gold, copper or silver accents, or keep them plain and natural.

Some colours appear again and again in UK weddings because they are versatile and easy to work with. Sage green is a favourite for its calm, natural feel and it suits both countryside and city venues. Dusty blue is another steady choice, especially for spring and summer. Blush pink remains popular for romantic, soft looks, while terracotta brings warmth to autumn weddings.

For a classic and timeless feel, navy and ivory are hard to beat. They look sharp for formal weddings and pair well with gold or copper details. Burgundy and deep plum are strong choices for winter, adding richness against candlelight. Soft grey works as a neutral base, letting brighter flowers or bridesmaids' dresses stand out.

You do not have to pick from this list. The best palette is one that makes you happy and suits your venue. If you marry in a church or register office, check what colours are allowed in the building. For outdoor venues, think about the natural backdrop. A green lawn, a stone wall or a beach all change how colours look. Test your choices with fabric and flower samples before you order anything.
