Spring + Summer Wedding Colors We Love for 2023/2024

This year, couples are really shaking things up when it comes to their wedding color palettes. Couples are no longer sticking to the traditional burgundy, blush, and white or just classic color schemes. Instead, couples are expanding their horizons and exploring different combinations that truly speak to their unique personalities (and having fun with their spring and summer wedding colors again!).

As Hudson Valley wedding planners, we are thrilled to see what spring and summer have in store. We personally love flexing our creative muscles when designing a unique wedding color palette. Today, we can’t wait to share what’s coming up for us this year. Make sure you are following us on Instagram to watch how we bring them to life this year.

Naturally, this ends up making it an excellent choice for couples who want to bring some joy and warmth to their spring wedding day.
