What are teal and copper wedding colour schemes?

Short answer

Teal and copper is a rich, warm palette that pairs deep blue-green with metallic orange-brown. It suits autumn and winter weddings, and adds a glamorous, slightly vintage feel.

Teal and copper is a bold and luxurious colour scheme. Teal brings depth and calm, while copper adds a warm, glowing shine. The contrast is striking without being loud, and it photographs beautifully.

Use teal for bridesmaid dresses, table runners or napkins. Copper appears in candle holders, cutlery, vases or a metallic backdrop. Flowers in cream, rust and burnt orange bridge the two colours well. Think dahlias, roses and dried grasses.

This palette works especially well for evening weddings, where copper catches the light. For a winter wedding, it feels festive and cosy. For autumn, it echoes the changing leaves. It also suits industrial or barn venues, where the metal tones complement exposed brick and wood.

You can go as bold or as subtle as you like. A little copper goes a long way, so start with small accents and build up. Teal can be deep and jewel-like or softer and more muted.
