Your color sets the tone of every wedding photo. Here is how to choose with confidence.
| Setting | Best colors |
|---|---|
| Beach / daytime | Tan, light grey, light blue |
| Garden / semi-formal | Navy, grey, sage |
| Evening / formal | Black or midnight blue tuxedo |
| Year round, versatile | Navy, charcoal |
Match the season and setting
Lighter colors suit warm, outdoor, and daytime weddings, while darker colors and tuxedos suit evening and formal events. In Florida, breathable fabrics matter as much as color for an outdoor ceremony.
Coordinate with the party
Pick a color that works with your wedding party's palette and your partner's dress or suit. Then let yourself stand out with one detail, such as a tuxedo when the groomsmen wear suits.
Think about photos
Navy and grey are reliably flattering in photos across lighting. Midnight blue is a striking alternative to black that photographs with a subtle richness.
