A Wonder to Behold: Jewel-Tone Accents For Your Wedding Day

You want to feel like a queen on your wedding day, and what better way to set the tone than with royal hues like emerald, cobalt blue, deep plum and ruby red? There are so many reasons that jewel tones can be a magnificent choice for your color palette. They set the mood, add a richness and luster and play up contrast really well. You can incorporate jewel tones into your wedding celebrations in a number of ways: dresses, reception décor, groomsmen’s attire and even your cake!

Make your wedding photography sparkle with these rich colors:

Table Décor
Make your décor pop with a gorgeous jewel-tone tablecloth. With some lovely jewel-tone flourishes, you don’t need to spend a fortune on flowers. A touch of baby’s breath will round out your enviable table décor.

Flowers
Jewel-tone blooms can be a lovely choice for your wedding because of the way these lavish hues can make the flowers look so robust. Whether you add a touch of color to an all white bouquet or have the groomsmen wear ruby red boutonnieres, you can’t go wrong!

Romantic Attire
Bridesmaid Dresses
Make a statement with jewel-tone bridesmaid dresses! Emerald, Sapphire, cranberry and plum are gorgeous ways to add a bit of drama to your wedding party - especially as we head into fall and winter weddings.

Shoes
Plum pumps or sapphire mary-janes can be an enchanting way to add a little color to your bridal look. Jewel tones have a nice depth to them that makes different shoe materials - from suede to satin - look richer. Plus, these deeper colors often do a better job at camouflaging stains, so don't’ sweat it if you spill a little something on your wedding shoes!

Groomsmen Attire
You don’t have to choose between a red suit and a gray suit in order to get the groomsmen in on the jewel-tone fun. Go with a tie or pocket square in a matching (or complementary!) color to the bridesmaids in order to give them that extra flair.

Wedding Cake
Who says wedding cakes have to be white? Bring a little pizzazz to your cake by incorporating jewel tones! Opt for ombré, keeping the top tier white while adding color to the bottom tiers for a jaw-dropping look. Another idea? Emerald tones are easier (and more affordable!) than covering your wedding in actual emeralds!
