With autumn on the doorstep, we’re dreaming of cosy weddings with rich, opulent jewel colours. From emerald greens to deep purples, let’s take a look at some of our favourite jewel tone wedding ideas.
If you’re planning to introduce a jewel tone wedding theme, it’s important to decide on your shades. You might choose just one colour – perhaps a rich plum combined with a hint of metallic gold – or decide to embrace a selection of hues. We hope this colour palette will inspire.
Bridal Style
While you might not choose a jewel coloured wedding dress, these tones are perfect for bridesmaids.
In deep shades of pink and purple, these bridesmaids rock their boho style.

If you’re feeling bold, why not choose a different colour of dress for each bridesmaid? So long as you remain within the jewel tones, the end result is stunning and each bridesmaid wears a gown that suits her skin tone.

Design and Décor
From table linen to stationery, bring colour in to your room. Often you need only a hint of these darker shades to make an impression.
Alongside flowers, mixed jewel tone jars and votives might be all the decoration you need.
