Trending Summer Colour Palettes for 2025
Here are the colour trends dominating summer wedding invitations this year:
1. Coral & Peach
Soft yet radiant, coral blends perfectly with gold foiling and cream card stock — ideal for garden or destination weddings. It adds a romantic yet energetic tone to your stationery.
2. Turquoise & Gold
Inspired by the sea and sunshine, turquoise invitations with gold foiled mandalas or arabesque designs are popular among Muslim and Hindu wedding invites this year.
3. Hot Pink & Fuchsia
A classic for Indian and Pakistani weddings, pink remains a timeless summer shade symbolising love and festivity. Combine it with vellum overlays or laser-cut gold details for a luxurious touch.
4. Lemon Yellow & White
Fresh, clean, and joyful — this palette is perfect for Mehndi or Haldi ceremonies. Yellow reflects happiness and optimism, making it a cheerful choice for pre-wedding stationery.
5. Lavender & Dusty Blue
Soft pastels are trending for Sikh Anand Karaj ceremonies — these tones evoke serenity, spirituality, and elegance, especially when paired with white or silver foil accents.
