Spring is often regarded as a time of renewal and celebration, so it’s no wonder that many couples choose this time of year for their wedding day. And as we yawn and stretch our way out of hibernation and into ‘doing mode,’ what better time to choose a bright and inspiring wedding colour palette? And as seasoned wedding planners, TLC leads the way with the top wedding colours for spring 2025.
Choosing the right wedding colour palette can set the tone for your special day, channelling your style as a couple, as well as reflecting the season’s vibrancy. But how to choose? Especially when there are so many picture-perfect colour combinations. So, getting this right is vital.
Here is our guide to choosing a wedding colour palette that embraces the top wedding colours for spring 2025. Incorporating several trending combinations that help ensure your day reflects your unique taste and personality.
HOW TO CHOOSE A WEDDING COLOUR PALETTE
First of all, colour is a powerful storytelling tool within a wedding. Colour enhances mood, evokes emotion, carries symbolism and significance, and brings each element of your day together. Choosing your colour palette also has practical implications for your wedding planning. Colour will affect how the floral artistry, stationery and bridal party will look and feel; it isn’t a stand-alone feature. Therefore, choosing your colour palette needs some careful consideration.
Here are some ways to find inspiration and guidance on finding the right colour palette that reflects the top wedding colours for spring 2025.
CATCH A FEELING
Bright, energetic, uplifting, calm, cool, considered, coordinated – colour has a dramatic effect on mood. Often at TLC, we ask couples how they want their wedding to feel rather than simply plucking a colour combination out of thin air. The colour palette is an extension of that feeling.
LOOK TO THE RUNWAYS
Fashion has a way of making its way from the runway to our homes and events. Therefore, you could do worse than look to fashion brands and their Spring collections for inspiration in your search for a spring wedding colour palette. For Spring 2025, tomato red, tangerine, candy pink, turquoise, and gold are all set to make a statement, any one of which can be seamlessly worked into a wedding.

TAKE HEED OF TRENDS
Each year trend experts at companies such as Pantone and Dulux, predict the shades we’ll all be wearing and decorating our homes and events in. This year, Pantone has chosen a rich, chocolatey coffee shade in Mocha Mousse, while opting for a vibrant, uplifting yellow in True Joy. More on these fabulous on-trend colours later.
SEE IT IN REAL TIME AND SPACE
How many times have you decorated a room only to find halfway through that the paint looks a completely different shade on the walls. Or watched as it completely transforms in different lighting. We always ask our couples to take samples of their colours to their venue, which will often already have some colour and pattern within the space – a completely blank canvas is very rare. It’s important your colour palette doesn’t jar with what’s already there and that it works at every time of day and within the actual venue not just as a concept.
TOP WEDDING COLOURS FOR SPRING 2025
Here are some of our favourite colours and combinations that embody the energy and optimism that spring brings with it.
TRUE JOY
Amongst the top wedding colours for spring 2025 is True Joy. Dulux has introduced True Joy as its Colour of the Year 2025. The warm, golden yellow is reminiscent of a field of buttercups . It brings a sunshine glow of positivity. It’s perfect for creating a joyful wedding atmosphere.
One of the best ways to bring True Joy to your wedding day is through floral artistry as you’ll find True Joy in abundance in nature. Daffodils, tulips, freesia and roses. Create a monochrome yellow bouquet that radiates joy or add pops of spring to your table centres.
Bridesmaids in golden yellow dresses can bring a warm, charismatic glow to your wedding party.
Being such a bold colour – True Joy can work exceedingly well as an accent which serves to intensify its impact. A stripe of True Joy on an invitation, a pop of True Joy on your wedding crockery, glassware or table runners, a ribbon in your hair or sash on your dress. Find unusual and unique places to bring in an element of surprise. The underside of a tablecloth, an upturned collar or the sole of a shoe – reveal micro moments of True Joy that delight and surprise.
MOCHA MOUSSE
Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2025 is Mocha Mousse, a rich, earthy brown that exudes warmth and sophistication. This versatile shade pairs beautifully with a range of colours, offering a grounded base for your wedding palette. Incorporate it into your wedding invitations and programmes to set an earthy tone from the outset.
Groomsmen in mocha-coloured suits are a sophisticated and grounded look, while mocha coloured table linens layered with textured neutrals, coffee hues and pampas are ideal for a countryside setting. Earthy stoneware and crockery add to the rustic appeal. Accent with pink or yellow or bring in Vogue’s on trend turquoise for contrast.
TRENDING COLOUR PALETTES
Lavender Haze: Combining shades of pink, lavender, violet, blue, and green creates a dreamy and romantic ambiance. This palette is perfect for couples seeking a soft, bohemian or whimsical feel for their wedding. For spring it’s the ideal combination channelling the lighter, chalkier pastel shades that often gain popularity at this time of year.
Or go bold – team it with a splash of strong shades.
Romantic Reds: Harking back to that tomato red tipped by Vogue for every fashionista, red is also a hot colour for weddings this year. Incorporate shades of red and pink with fuchsia, red, rose, gold, and scarlet to bring passion to your celebration. Red may not be the first colour you think of for spring, but mingled in with a myriad of pink shades it’s a colour that is packed with energy and vibrancy that’s perfect for this time of year. And remember, it’s not just table décor that can embrace this colour. It could be incorporated into clothing, drinks, and food elements.
Citrus Brights: Want your wedding colour palette to really pop? Then introduce some dopamine inducing bright shades of coral, yellow, tangerine and green, grounded with a peach or beige backdrop. On their own they’re delightful but together they are next level.
This palette evokes the freshness of spring and will create an energetic atmosphere. We often use the fruit itself when picking a foodie themed colour palette. Slices to decorate a cake. Arranged alongside flowers in table centres or adapted to create a unique and creative place setting.
FINAL THOUGHTS: CREATING YOUR PERFECT SPRING WEDDING PALETTE
Choosing the top wedding colours for spring 2025 to include in your wedding colour palette is one of the most exciting parts of planning your big day. The right combination will not only reflect your personality and style as a couple but also set the mood and enhance every aspect of your celebrations. From floral arrangements and attire to décor and stationery.
As you finalise your choices, remember to consider how colours interact with your venue, lighting, and overall theme. Experiment with swatches. Draw inspiration from nature and fashion. And, most importantly, choose hues that hold meaning for you.
