Short answer
There is no single best three colour combination. The best one suits your venue, season and personal taste. A reliable trio is blush pink, sage green and cream, because it is soft, versatile and works indoors or outdoors across most of the year.
The idea of a best combination is personal. What feels right for a barn wedding in autumn may not suit a city hall ceremony in summer. Instead of chasing a universal answer, think about what you want your guests to feel. Calm, joyful, romantic, bold. Then pick colours that support that feeling.
A safe and popular trio is blush pink, sage green and cream. It photographs beautifully, flatters most skin tones and blends with natural surroundings. Another strong option is navy, white and gold for a classic, formal look. For a modern feel, try terracotta, rust and cream. For a fresh spring wedding, lemon, white and eucalyptus works well.
Whatever you choose, keep the balance in mind. Use one colour as the main base, one as a supporting shade and one as an accent. That stops the scheme feeling cluttered. You can apply it to bridesmaids' dresses, stationery, flowers, table linens and signage.
If you are unsure, start with your flowers. Florists often have a good eye for combinations that work together. Or look at your favourite outfit or a piece of art you love. That can be a surprisingly helpful starting point.
