Wedding Flowers 101 - Color Themes
We take color theory pretty seriously here at Nicole Mae Floral. When picking out flowers for a wedding I like to build off the main focal color of the overall theme and create a cohesive design that is right out of nature. Very rarely will you see a flower that is one color shade. To play off mother nature I will generally pick the focal flower and then choose blooms that have the same tones featured in this main flower. A Cafe Au Lait Dahlia, for instance, has a base shade of creamy pale peach but in the very center you will often see dark pink and even hints of fuchsia. We tend to carry all of these colors out into the floral designs so nothing looks contrived or unnatural. Here is a look at our all time favorite color palettes and blooms to get your creativity flowing!
Mauve and Berry
Mauve and berry is one of my absolute favorite color combinations. It can work for any season and your choice of blooms is endless. I love to use crystal accents and vintage vases when using mauve and berry.
Ranunculus
Koko Loco Rose
Peaches and Cream is one of the most visually pleasing palates for a summer wedding.. Peach is a new neutral that goes beautifully with pops of bright pink, sage green, coral and yellow. The combinations are endless.

Green and White continues to be one of the most popular wedding trends for flowers. It’s elegant and clean and photographs beautifully. My newest way to showcase green and white floral is to use crystal compote bows, vases and candles to create a stunning yet simple ambiance.

For a garden inspired wedding pastels are the way to go. Soft, lush and ultra romantic blooms surround you and your guests with amazing fragrance. So beautiful!
