For couples looking for something beyond the norm, here are seven bright color palettes inspired by Indian weddings.

​ Saffron And Fuschia

Pink and Purple Indian Wedding Celebrations

The modern bride's go to! Lovely shades of yellow and bright pinks come together to create a festive and jubilant affair. Showcased as the contemporary classic of Indian wedding color schemes, this stylish palette has its roots based in the Hermes Caparacons scarf featuring an Indian elephant.

Peach and Blue

Cheerful and time honored, this year-round palette is one of our favorites. While the two beautiful shades fill the room, unique details can still stand out without being overwhelming.

Gold and Black

It wouldn't be inspired by Indian weddings if it didn't have a little bling, would it? Sharp black against luxe, glittering gold is for couples looking to "bring it" on their wedding day. Note to self: Four-inch dancing shoes are a necessary accessory.

Jewel Tones

Radiant hues of amethyst, ruby, aquamarine and topaz come together to create this very lively palette. Choose your birthstone, your partner's, and then add each of your mother's precious stones for a meaningful, personalized touch.

Silver and Cobalt

Minimalist couples will love this unique spin on an all-white affair. The dash of yellow adds some color, without interrupting the sleek, serene look of white on white.

Ombré Pinks
