2026 wedding color trends!! As couples begin planning their 2026 weddings, one thing is becoming beautifully clear: color is more personal than ever. While trends continue to inspire, today’s couples are choosing palettes that reflect who they are, where they’re getting married, and the atmosphere they want their guests to feel the moment they arrive.
From rich, moody hues to airy neutrals and nature-inspired tones, we connected with several of our Wed Society | Savannah + Coastal Georgia wedding planner members to see what colors they’re loving for the year ahead, and why these palettes are resonating so deeply with modern couples.
☕ Espresso Tones: Moody, Elevated, and Intentional
“We are seeing darker hues make a comeback! Our brides still want that Lowcountry feel, but we are darkening the palette. We’re throwing a hint of masculinity into our designs while keeping everything intentional and chic.”
Espresso-inspired palettes are bringing depth and drama in the most refined way. Think rich browns, deep charcoals, and warm neutrals layered with texture. These tones feel grounded yet elevated, perfect for couples who love timeless design with a modern edge. When paired with soft lighting, lush florals, and classic Southern venues, espresso hues create an atmosphere that feels romantic, cozy, and effortlessly stylish.
🌿 Dark Olive & Earthy Greens: A Nod to Nature
– Allison, Allison Event Design
“I think there is going to be a nod to nature with some really beautiful earthy neutrals and greens — thinking warm browns and deep olive greens — along with some bold punches of color.”
Nature-inspired palettes continue to shine, especially for couples drawn to organic elegance. Dark olive greens paired with warm neutrals create a grounded, serene look that works beautifully in coastal, garden, or outdoor settings. Adding in bold accent colors allows couples to personalize the palette while still keeping that timeless, earthy foundation.
This trend feels especially fitting for Savannah and Coastal Georgia weddings, where the natural surroundings already provide so much beauty to build upon.
🤍 Cloud Dancer: Modern, Soft, and Monochromatic
– Meg, Elegant Savannah Weddings
“With Pantone announcing Cloud Dancer as the color of 2026, we expect to see more white weddings going into the new year. This white is less about tradition and more about a modern, monochromatic feel. We’re seeing it not only in florals, but also in draping, staging, and table decor.”
This isn’t your traditional all-white wedding. Cloud Dancer leans into layered whites, soft textures, and tonal design to create a clean yet impactful aesthetic. From flowing linens to sculptural florals and thoughtful tablescapes, this trend is perfect for couples who love a refined, editorial look that still feels warm and inviting.
🍇 Dark Mulberry & Bold Botanicals
“The color trend I see emerging in 2026 is Mulberry Grove — palm frond, chartreuse mixed with fuchsia, berry tones, and browns!”
For couples craving color and personality, this palette delivers. Rich mulberry tones mixed with vibrant greens and playful pops of color bring energy and creativity into the design. It’s bold without being overwhelming and perfect for couples who want their wedding to feel joyful, expressive, and unforgettable.
Bringing It All Together
As Posey Event Design’s Mika’l so perfectly shared:
“Your wedding doesn’t have to be a fashion statement, unless you want it to be. As your planner, I want your wedding to represent what’s most important to you and your story. If you’ve always dreamed of your bridesmaids wearing black, or having chartreuse napkins, or bringing in the coastal colors that you’ve fallen in love with, then that’s the color palette I want to work with in creating the wedding of your dreams!”
And that sentiment truly defines 2026 wedding color trends. Whether you’re drawn to moody espresso tones, airy whites, earthy greens, or vibrant jewel hues, the goal isn’t to always follow trends, it’s to let them inspire you!
Let your palette tell your story.
Let it reflect your love, your style, and your vision.
And most importantly, let it feel like you.
Which color trend are you loving for 2026?
