Summer Wedding Colors: Bright & Vibrant Ideas

Summer is the season to turn up the color. Long days, bright light, and outdoor celebrations call for palettes that feel just as vibrant and joyful. If you want a wedding that radiates sunshine, here's your bright-and-bold color inspiration.

What makes a palette feel like summer

Summer colors are saturated and cheerful — sunny yellows, coral, aqua, and bright greens that echo the sea, the sky, and a garden in full bloom. These are confident colors that shine in strong daylight, making them perfect for beach, garden, and destination weddings.

Vibrant palette ideas

• Coral + aqua + white for a fresh, coastal-summer look.
• Yellow + green + cream for a sunny, sunflower-inspired feel.
• Fuchsia + orange + gold for a bold, tropical celebration.

Lean into bright blooms and lush greenery to match the season's energy.

Matching your dog to summer

A bright bow tie lets your dog soak up the sunshine too. Our handmade options:

• The Yellow Striped Bow Tie is a preppy, sunny summer pick.
• The Coral Herringbone Bow Tie brings tropical, warm-weather color.
• The Light Blue Patterned Bow Tie adds a fresh, coastal-aqua touch.

Each is handmade on an adjustable vegan-leather collar with your choice of collar color.

Dress the wedding party to match

Bring the humans into the bright palette with bow ties from Handmade Bow Tie's Coral, Peach & Orange collection or their Yellow & Mustard collection for the groom, groomsmen, and kids — then match the dog's collar.

The takeaway

Summer weddings are made for bold, joyful color. Reach for coral, yellow, and aqua, keep everything bright and fresh — and let your dog join the sunshine in a vibrant summer bow tie.
