Whatever your wedding style, choosing a colour scheme is a simple way of bringing your big day look together. A country house wedding venue provides a grand backdrop for your day, but at Prestwold Hall we want to give you the freedom to put your own personal stamp on things. Picking the perfect colour scheme helps set the tone for your wedding – whether you opt for traditional white or modern moss green. Here we share some of our favourite colour schemes for a country house wedding, whatever the season. Big day inspiration, right this way…
Classic white
We adore a timeless all-white colour scheme for a wedding. The simplicity of white flowers and décor lets the beauty of our stately home wedding venue really shine through. While classic white or stylish monochrome is a failsafe wedding colour scheme, we absolutely love how this real bride and groom have added café au lait details, to create a luxurious vibe. Get the look by choosing fluid fabrics in the softest of cappuccino shades, and pair with crisp white wedding stationery, raffia tablemats and elevated white floral displays.
Romantic lilac
Soft lilac is an enchanting colour choice for a spring or summer country house wedding. Here, our real couple have given it a fresh, modern update by mixing with flashes of pale orange. The result feels whimsical and romantic, and we love how it looks against the ornate gold period décor of Prestwold Hall’s Dining Room. Bring the look together with diaphanous lilac table runners, lilac wedding signage and cute mix and match lilac bridesmaids’ dresses.
Ballet pink
Pink – in a kaleidoscope of hues – is having a moment right now, but it’s the softest of ballet pinks that has our heart. It’s such a versatile colour scheme for your big day and feels enduringly luxurious – perfect for a country house wedding. Work the colour throughout your wedding day, with soft blush pink blooms, pretty pink bridesmaids’ dresses and pink linen for your table settings. We love the impact of an all-pink wedding cake too – just add edible pearl detailing for that extra wow-factor.
Lush green
A country house winter wedding is effortlessly romantic – there’s just something about a grand, stately home brought to life with twinkling lights and roaring log fires that we can’t get enough of. At Prestwold Hall we’ve been lucky enough to host hundreds of winter weddings and, while you can never go wrong with traditional festive reds, we love this contemporary take on winter wedding styling. Green feels fresh, yet seasonal, and we love the combination of shades which come together to create an indulgent winter oasis. Moss green velvet ribbons add a touch of decadence to table settings, while dramatic trailing displays of foliage and white flowers give our country house a modern fairytale feel.
Autumnal orange
Autumn weddings at Prestwold Hall always wow. This October wedding is a masterclass in how to fill your day with rich, autumnal colours. From the stunning bouquets – featuring a glorious mix of flowers in deep reds, burnt oranges and vibrant yellows – to the bright orange table runners and chair ties, it’s a true celebration of the season. We love the unexpected addition of pumpkins as décor touches for the ceremony and reception. And can we take a moment for the striking rust-coloured bridesmaids’ dresses? Set against the backdrop of Prestwold Hall’s captivating autumn colours, it’s an unforgettable combination.
Spring pastels
If you’re planning a spring country house wedding, take inspiration from this dreamy big day. Here, spring pastels take centre stage, with statement floral displays in pinks, blues, purples and peach, lining Prestwold Hall’s grand fireplaces and the top table. The colour scheme is balanced with cornflower blue tapered candles and table names, as well as soft pink chair ties. It’s such a joyful mix of colours – just take a look at these real wedding photos for inspiration.
