Gold is one of those colors that amps up the drama and immediately grabs people’s attention. People associate gold with wealth, opulence, and elegance. If you’re going for a laid-back, casual-feeling wedding, gold might not be the way to go. For almost any other type of wedding, gold is an instant attention-grabber and can help dial up the drama and atmosphere at your wedding.

Gold as a Fall or Winter Color

We mentioned earlier that metallic shades can look particularly spectacular in a winter wedding. Gold is no exception to that rule. When paired with other neutrals, or even with other bright colors like royal blue, it can make for a stunning winter look. It can also be paired with darker earth tones like maroon or dark green to create a gorgeous autumn-inspired look.

However, as with almost every other color we’ve mentioned, this is by no means meant to be restrictive. Gold can be used to advantage in any season. Try pairing it with lavender or pale pink in the spring for a striking look, or with bright red or green in the summer for an immediately eye-catching theme.
