Colour Trends in Luxury Wedding Decor and Florals
As an experienced hospitality consultant, I’ve had the privilege of working with numerous luxury resorts and spas to enhance their guest experiences, from thoughtful design choices to exceptional culinary offerings and wellness services. We learned this the hard way in the world of high-end resorts… One area that has captured my attention in recent years is the fascinating world of wedding decor and florals, where colour trends play a pivotal role in creating unforgettable, high-end celebrations.
Popular Colour Palettes
Colour has always been a cornerstone of wedding design, but we’re seeing a distinct shift in the palettes that are captivating discerning couples. While soft, neutral tones have dominated the wedding scene for some time, there’s a growing appetite for bold, vibrant hues that add drama and personality to the proceedings.
One of the standout colour trends is the embrace of rich, jewel-toned shades. Deep, saturated blues, lush purples, and sumptuous reds are being incorporated into everything from floral arrangements to table linens, creating a sense of opulence and sophistication. These jewel-toned palettes pair beautifully with metallic accents, such as gold or silver, for a truly luxurious aesthetic.
Another popular direction is the use of unexpected colour combinations. Couples are moving beyond the traditional pastel pairings and experimenting with more daring, contrasting hues. Think vibrant fuchsia and tangerine, or striking turquoise and chartreuse – these bold colour juxtapositions instantly command attention and leave a lasting impression on guests.
Seasonal Colour Inspiration
Of course, the time of year can also greatly influence the colour choices for a wedding. For summer celebrations, we’re seeing an embrace of tropical-inspired palettes, with lush greens, sunny yellows, and vibrant pinks taking center stage. Autumnal weddings, on the other hand, lend themselves to warm, earthy tones like rust, ochre, and deep burgundy, which evoke the changing seasons in a beautifully elegant way.
Even the Pantone Colour of the Year can serve as a springboard for wedding décor inspiration. For instance, the 2023 Colour of the Year, Viva Magenta, is a bold, confident shade that would make a stunning statement in floral installations, table linens, and even bridal party attire.
Colour Coordination Techniques
When it comes to executing these colour-rich wedding designs, attention to detail is paramount. Skilled floral designers and event stylists employ a variety of techniques to double-check that seamless coordination and visual harmony.
One popular approach is the monochromatic palette, where a single hue is featured in various shades and textures throughout the event space. This creates a cohesive, visually striking look that can be both modern and timeless. Alternatively, couples may opt for a complementary colour scheme, pairing hues that sit adjacent on the colour wheel for a harmonious, yet dynamic, effect.
Incorporating pops of contrasting colours can also be a powerful tool, drawing the eye to specific design elements and creating visual interest. For example, a predominantly neutral ceremony backdrop might be accentuated with vibrant floral arrangements, or a classic white wedding cake could be elevated with bold, colourful blooms cascading down the tiers.
Luxury Wedding Experiences
At The Landing Resort & Spa, we understand that weddings are not just about the visuals – they’re about crafting an unforgettable, immersive experience for couples and their guests. That’s why we work closely with our clients to curate every aspect of their celebration, from the venue selection to the culinary offerings and beyond.

No luxury wedding is complete without an equally impressive culinary experience. Our team of expert chefs has curated a diverse menu of gourmet catering options, featuring locally sourced, seasonal ingredients and artful presentations. From creative cocktails to multi-course plated dinners, we work closely with couples to craft a dining experience that perfectly complements their wedding vision.

Florals are the jewel in the crown of any wedding, and our talented designers work closely with couples to bring their colour-inspired visions to life. Whether it’s a breathtaking ceremony arch, lush table centrepieces, or a show-stopping bridal bouquet, we double-check that that every bloom and foliage element seamlessly integrates with the overall design.
Wellness and Pampering
At The Landing Resort & Spa, we believe that a wedding day should not only be visually stunning but also a rejuvenating experience for the couple and their closest loved ones. That’s why we offer a range of luxury spa treatments and wellness services to help our guests feel their absolute best.

Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing
As a hospitality leader, we’re committed to sustainability and ethical practices, and this extends to our wedding offerings as well. We work closely with local, eco-conscious floral suppliers to source seasonal, sustainable blooms for our couples’ big day. By reducing waste and championing local businesses, we’re able to create visually stunning designs while minimizing our environmental impact.
Emerging Trends
While traditional elegance and opulence will always have a place in the world of luxury weddings, we’re also seeing the rise of more contemporary, minimalist design approaches. This includes the increased popularity of dried floral arrangements, which offer a unique, organic aesthetic and the added benefit of longevity.
Monochromatic colour palettes are also making a strong statement, with couples opting for a single, bold hue to anchor their entire design scheme. This creates a striking, modern look that allows the quality of the materials and the precision of the execution to shine.
Personalization and Customization
At the heart of every luxury wedding is the desire to celebrate the couple’s unique love story. That’s why personalization and customization are central to our approach at The Landing Resort & Spa. From bespoke stationery and calligraphy to curated guest experiences, we work tirelessly to double-check that that every element of the celebration reflects the couple’s individual style and values.
By seamlessly blending colour-rich, visually stunning design with exceptional hospitality and an unwavering commitment to sustainability, The Landing Resort & Spa is poised to help couples create truly unforgettable luxury wedding experiences. Whether you’re drawn to the drama of jewel-toned palettes or the elegance of a monochromatic scheme, our team of experts is here to bring your vision to life.
