Summer weddings are wonderful because you have more of an opportunity for outdoor ceremonies and bright, vibrant colors. Depending on the time of year, different color schemes will fare better. For summer weddings, don’t be afraid to use the great outdoors for inspiration.

It’s not just one color
Many weddings are incorporating accent colors in addition to the main color. That means you have more opportunities to pair two shades with one another. These colors can not only be incorporated into wedding party outfits, but also table settings, the cake, the invitations, the website, custom backdrops for photos and other wedding elements.

Bright, vibrant color schemes can set the tone for a summer wedding.

Pick a combo, any combo
The Knot has provided some great ideas for color combos you’ve probably never seen before. Here are some of the highlights:

• Tangerine, orange and yellow for a modern summer wedding.
• Navy, yellow and blue for a rustic summer wedding.
• Gold, peach and green for an outdoor summer wedding.
