Yellow wedding color schemes are perfect when you want your wedding to feel warm, cheerful, and full of light without making the whole look feel too bright. Yellow can be soft and romantic, bold and sunny, or warm and earthy depending on the shades you pair with it.

I love yellow for weddings because it brings such a happy feel to flowers, table settings, bridesmaid dresses, stationery, cakes, and ceremony decor.

From butter yellow and pale lemon to mustard, marigold, and golden yellow, these yellow wedding color schemes will help you picture a wedding look that feels fresh, romantic, and beautifully styled.
