Events By Vee, SLC, Victoria

Let’s be honest: “dusty rose and sage” had their moment… and that moment might be over. In 2025, couples are embracing color in a fresh, expressive way—layered, dimensional, and delightfully unpredictable.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels modern and meaningful, these color palettes bring the vibe without feeling overdone.


Fig, Smoke + Soft Copper

Rich and grounded, this palette brings quiet drama. Pair fig-purple bridesmaid dresses with smoky gray linens, and accent with copper flatware or wax seals. Elegant, earthy, and full of depth.

Great for: Fall weddings, modern vineyard venues, candlelit receptions

Retro Lilac + Peach

Playful meets polished. Retro lilac brings a soft pop of vintage charm, while peach warms everything up with feel-good energy. Together, they strike a perfect balance between whimsy and sophistication—like disco ball sparkle with velvet ribbon detail.

Perfect for: Spring or summer weddings, creative couples, vintage-modern styling with bold florals and graphic signage

Olive, Black + Cream

Playful meets polished. Retro lilac brings a soft pop of vintage charm, while peach warms everything up with feel-good energy. Together, they strike a perfect balance between whimsy and sophistication—like disco ball sparkle with velvet ribbon detail.

Perfect for: Spring or summer weddings, creative couples, vintage-modern styling with bold florals and graphic signage

Fuchsia, Tangerine + Lemon Zest

This palette is pure dopamine. Fuchsia brings fearless vibrancy, tangerine adds playful citrus energy, and lemon zest keeps things light and electric. It’s a combination that says "we're here to party"—ideal for couples who love color, movement, and making bold statements.

Perfect for: Summer soirées, creative urban venues, late-night dance floors, and weddings with personality at every turn

Powder Blue, Buttercream + Marigold

A pastel base with unexpected warmth. The coolness of blue is softened by buttery tones, while marigold adds energy. It’s vintage-meets-modern in the best way.

Great for: Spring garden weddings, backyard fêtes, creative couples with retro flair.

Espresso, Amber + Cream ​

Rich and inviting. Espresso lays the foundation with depth, amber infuses the look with golden warmth, and cream softens the edges for an effortlessly balanced finish.

Perfect for: Autumn weddings, vintage styling, whiskey bars and candlelight


Insider Tip: It’s not about chasing trends—it’s about choosing colors that speak to your story. The right palette doesn’t just look pretty; it pulls together textures, tones, and design moments that feel effortlessly cohesive and distinctly you. ​
