Cheers to the season’s perfect color palette.

What color combo is all the rage? It’s the shimmery, sophisticated synthesis of cool copper, rose gold and a dash of blissful blue. These hues are perfect for a modern spring ceremony, formal summer bash or even a casual, late-summer wedding. Need a little help pulling it all together? Get all the inspiration (and advice) you need below.

“I love how easily natural elements such as marble, wood and copper paired alongside silks, velvet and vintage crystal pieces create an understated, elegant look that doesn’t say ‘too rustic’ or ‘too ballroom.’ Soften up any space with loose florals and greenery.”

“I tell my brides at their makeup trial that my goal is to have them feel like themselves at their absolute best. To recreate Heather’s flawless glow, moisturize skin and top with a primer (an instant skin smoother) before applying a luminous foundation. To tame Chris’ long hair, we used R+Co’s Continental Glossing Wax and Foil Frizz + Static Control Spray to prevent frizz while maintaining a light hold.”

“I am a huge fan of heavy cocktail hour food—it allows couples to have creative offerings and helps ensure nobody is drinking on an empty stomach. We love to have a stationary table in addition to passed hors d’oeuvres. The passed bites create a higher-end feeling and are a great kick off to the celebration.”

—Kathy McDonald, director of catering, La Vida Hospitality Group
