Choosing a wedding colour scheme is a small yet critical detail in the timeline leading up to the big day. It affects the invites, the flowers, the decor and the dresses. From rose gold and copper to sage and purple, we've taken the road less travelled to find nine unexpectedly beautiful colour combinations to make the backdrop of the wedding album as cool and pretty as the people in the pictures. Avoiding anything too matchy-matchy and the oversaturated choices that have been pestering our Pinterest feeds, here's our choice of off-beat palettes for the ultimate setting to the best day of your life.

Greenery

If florals aren't for you, try substituting for luscious greens a la Pantone colour of the year, adding a tropical twist to your wedding. Large leaves are unapologetic centrepieces, and work really well as corsages, too.

Rose Quartz & Copper

Pantone's colour of the year hasn't gone unnoticed, with rose quartz saturating everything we look at. Copper has also been trending, but the two together? They work wonders. This divine table setting pairs copper cutlery and candlesticks with rosé fizz. Palest peonies or ranunculus would work for flowers.

Multicolour

If you can't quite decide, why not go for a loose interpretation on a scheme, with shades of everything. Include succulents as well as florals, and house in pineapples for a fun (and fragrant) twist.

Green & White

Go modern with simple palette of white flowers, with muted greens. Perfect for a loose bouquet.

Rustic Berry

There's no need to be afraid of deep cerise and ochre. Although punchy, these florals mesh brilliantly with off-white lace and the texture of pampas grass. Perfect for an outdoorsy festival style ceremony.

Red, White & Blue

These colours don't need to spell out 'British Flag' - we like this simple approach with airmail table settings and duralex tumblers. The rustic South of France would be an ideal setting.

Coral, Sage & Yellow

Classic coral takes centre stage at this Californian desert wedding, with masses of peonies, but kept modern with subtle green foliage rather than flower overkill. Make vases on tables small and elegant, with simple linen.

Steel & Moss

Neither masculine nor feminine, this pairing of two pastel shades is sophisticated and cool. Tie in with cacti and succulents on the tables, and steely blue decorations.

Mellow Yellows

Yellow is a sunny choice for any wedding, but especially for spring and summer. Craspedia, or more fondly named Billy Button stems are lovely for bouquets, buttonholes and for a less 'girly' feel, with their petal-less heads. Serve alcoholic lemonade cocktails and ochre decorations.

All Pink Everything

Pink florals are classic, but using wild flowers and unfussy decoration,is anything but old fashioned. For candy-like bridesmaid dresses, take inspiration from SS17, where pink dominated the runway at LFW.

Sage & Purple

Purple is quite a bold statement for a wedding – it's unforgiving and can look dated. The use of sage green modernises the whole combination, with on-trend eucalyptus and hydrangeas. For table dressing, sprigs of lavender could adorn tables and tall eucalyptus would stand proud in vases.

Vintage Hues

If you prefer a more subtle, vintage look then go for golds and subdued florals, a perfect fit for a champagne reception with fairy lights and mis-matched tableware.

Navy, Pink & Ivory

Navy is a popular wedding choice. It's smart and easy for suits and dresses, and contrasts really well with lighter shades of pink and ivory.
