Teal + Purple + Green
Good for: Evening waterside weddings
Why the colors work: The blue and teal are both so complementary of the surrounding waters, that they create a seamless blend of scenery all on their own. The hints of purple enhance the tropical vibe, but add a hint of regal charm.

Silver + Ivory + Beige
Good for: Elegant beach weddings
Tips for pulling it off: This neutral setting acts as the perfect backdrop to make even the most subtle silver accents pop, like mercury glass beach wedding centerpieces or antique mirrored serving trays.

Coral + Fuchsia + Navy
Good for: Nautical summer beach weddings
Why the colors work: Perfect for the boat house or yacht club wedding, a nautical color scheme allows for some casual fun to sneak in amongst the pink hues, and navy anchors the whole beach color palette with an air of masculinity.

Sea Glass Blue + Ivory + Green
Good for: Formal or informal beach weddings
Tips for pulling it off: Because of the breezy ocean hues, this color palette can be played up into an elegant black tie event with the addition of chandeliers and tall centerpieces, or for a more casual feel, take less stock in the venue décor and encourage guests to spend time on the beach by installing a seaside cocktail bar.

Marigold + Gold + White
Good for: Late summer beach weddings
Why the colors work: It might not seem like it, but this particular beach wedding color palette works just as well for glitz and glam wedding themes as it does for rustic chic—drape gold sequin table cloths over formal dining tables and the cocktail bar for glamor, and for the ladder, nix the table cloths completely and expose more natural wood elements.

Canary Yellow + Tangerine + Peach
Good for: Vibrant summer beach weddings
Why the colors work: A beach wedding color scheme like this not only pumps up the party vibe during the day, but it’s also reminisce of the stunning pinks and oranges that fill the sky during an over-the-beach sunset.
