One of the things alot of brides face when considering wedding color schemes is the sheer enormity of wedding color combinations out there. There really isn't any limit.

To make things easier on yourself (and your budget) take a look at your venue and consider the color combination that would work with it. If the venue is pink and blue (for example) don't even consider a red and orange wedding.

If you're getting married outdoors, the you certainly have a lot more options to choose from. Working with the natural environment is one way to narrow down the options for your beach themed wedding. But, you can also go way out and create something unusual, but totally stunning at the same time!

Nature-inspired Beach Wedding Color Combinations

Exactly - clear oceany blues, soothing sandy browns, and refreshing palm-tree greens are the perfect inspiration for beach weddings (and make finding beach themed invites even easier!).

But what you might not have considered is all the variety within those three simple colors.

From deep ocean blues to clear turquoise waters there are a ton of different tints and shades to inspire your beach wedding colors and ideas.

In addition to the obvious let's not forget sparkling silvers, sunshine yellow, and crispy whites! Or - gasp! I almost forgot - the time of day. Just think about all the colors in a sunset (mmm!). Purples, oranges and dusty pinks would be stunning for an evening wedding on the beach!

Unexpected Wedding Colors & Ideas For Beach Weddings

Not really feeling it? If you don't think wedding colors & ideas inspired by nature are your thing fret not! Your beach wedding color scheme can be ANYTHING you want.

And no I'm not saying that to appease you - I really mean it! Some of the best beach wedding color schemes don't take cues from nature at all!

One of my favorite beach weddings is a hot pink wedding color scheme. Pink pom pom flowers lined the aisle, the bride carried deep pink peonies, and her maids wore hot pink satin gowns .

And let's not forget the fact that not all beaches are created equal. There are certainly some beaches that are really beach'y. Then, there are others that aren't so much. Sure there's a beach - but really, it's all about the extravagent beach house.

In these cases a color scheme based on the beach house surroundings is probably the most logical thing to do. If their table clothes are violet a purple, yellow, or peach themed wedding would be perfectly stunning!

Just remember this when picking your wedding colors...

If you consider the venue and the surroundings deciding on your color scheme will become a lot easier.

If you're going to go with an unexpected color, keep it simple. Stick with ONE color (in addition to white) so that the color can really pop in its natural environment. Otherwise, there's just too much pretty competing for attention.
