What Wedding Color Schemes and Seasons Work With Coral Dresses?
Coral is a usually vibrant color, but it can also be a soft muted shade of coral pink for a tropical or summery wedding. Hot pink is a great choice if it's a signature color of the mother or bride, or as a part of a pink wedding color scheme. We also love the look of citrus-inspired wedding color palettes and the color coral certainly has a role in that. If you want the softer side of coral and orange dresses, look to peach pastels which fit well with summer and spring wedding color schemes. For fall weddings rosey rusty shades of orange and peach, and rose gold tones can work well!
