The weather is getting colder and days are becoming shorter, but the world of fashion is already looking on to warmer seasons. Pantone recently released its top ten colors for spring and summer 2015, which includes "cooler and softer color choices with subtle warm tones that follow a minimalistic theme, taking a cue from nature". With so many bayside venues boasting natural settings, why not consider using one or a few of these colors in your wedding color palette?

With colors both vibrant and subdued, we've come up with a compilation of tones that you're sure to love! Each of these palettes is perfectly suited to outdoor venues. Whether you're the type of bayside bride to be surrounded by rosebuds in a blossoming garden or the life of the party in a bold pair of heels we hope you find inspiration in the boards below!

Tangerine

Orange Heels | Ribbon Backdrop | Dotted Tie | Hot Pink Bouquet

Tangerine is a vibrant and striking orange that produces a friendly, modern aesthetic. Pair with deep sky blue and hot pink to brighten up a stylish, neutral-toned venue. Your guests will be unable to contain their joy in such a cheerful setting!

Classic Blue & Mint

Buckled Heels | Starfish Cake | Classic Blue Bridesmaids | Bow Ties

Classic blue is true to its name, and remains a reliable choice for a wedding color. If a waterfront venue with neutral décor makes your heart flutter, consider using classic blue, with sky blue and mint as accent colors, to create a fresh twist to a nautical theme. This palette evokes serenity, like the sea, that will leave you and your guests feeling at ease.

Peonies | Vintage China | Bridal Party | Groom's Attire

Aquamarine

Aquamarine, the lead color for the Spring/Summer 2015 season, is a delicate blue that will create a romantic and airy mood. Pair it with light pink and light gray to complement a vintage, romantic ambiance perfect for a high tea reception in the garden of a historic house.
