What colors pair with burgundy
Burgundy pairs best with blush and dusty rose for a romantic look, with navy and emerald for a formal jewel-tone wedding, and with sage or olive when you want the wine red to feel garden-grown instead of glam. Ivory and champagne keep the palette from going too dark, and gold or antique brass is the metallic that flatters burgundy most.
Burgundy wedding flowers
Burgundy wedding flowers include dahlias, garden roses, ranunculus, calla lilies, and chocolate cosmos, usually mixed with blush or cream blooms and plenty of greenery so the dark tones have somewhere to breathe. Burgundy reads strongest in fall and winter arrangements.
Best season for a burgundy wedding
Burgundy is a fall and winter color first. It suits October through February weddings, vineyard and barn venues, and candlelit evening receptions. For a spring or summer wedding you can still use burgundy as an accent by leaning on blush and sage as the dominant tones.
