Wedding Colors: 12 Crazy Color Combos That Actually Work

There are certain colors that we all know match: Black and White, Blue and  Silver or Purple and Gold. But those aren't your only options for your wedding. Unexpected combos like tangerine and wasabi are pretty.

Tangerine and Wasabi: This fresh palette calls for a modern reception space, like an all-white loft or even a fun and funky downtown exposed-brick venue.


Strawberry and Lime: Summertime is the perfect season to break out this bright combo. Bonus: Such flower-friendly colors will be easy on your florist (and your budget).


Peppermint and Aqua: There's something so playful about this pairing, perfect for a garden country-club wedding or even a laid-back beach wedding.


Burnt Orange and Sky Blue: You have to be diligent about the balance of color with such a bold combo, but we love how unexpected the pale blue is when paired with a spicy orange hue.


Wintergreen and Lavender: A very approachable and easy to execute combo -- purple looks so sweet when paired with soft green.

Gray and Yellow: Industrial and mod – introduce a color combo like this on your invites and your guests will get the picture.


Powder Blue and Plum: The best part about these colors is how surprisingly translatable they are. Push the deeper plums if you're having a formal ballroom wedding, or wash your reception in powder blue and little splashes of dark purple for a more casual vibe.


Bubblegum and Grassy Green: Here, the bright pink just pops when set against a fresh green backdrop


Butter and Gold: Sophisticated and neutral, think of this combo as the go-to color palette for a formal wedding.


Chocolate and Vanilla: Dress it up or down -- you can't go wrong with such a clean palette


Navy and Fuchsia: Modern meets preppy with this bold pairing. Just be careful not to overwhelm your entire room with such a bright palette.


Sunflower and Sea Glass Blue: Perfect for a waterside wedding or even an outdoor springtime reception, pull it off with yellow flowers and blue accents.
