Plum Wedding Color – Four Fantastic Choices
Plum is a luscious wedding color you might want to give serious thought to. While it can be paired with a variety of colors, for this blog post I have focused on Shades of Plum along with Plum and Gray, Plum and Olive and Plum and Orange.
Plum is similar to pink (dark pink, pale pink, etc.) in that it has a range of intensity, but is still called “plum”. In fact, in its lighter shades it is very close in color to both pink and lavender. I think we generally think of plum as being a saturated and rich, dark color and that is what I have used mostly in the collages.
I am a huge fan of purple but there is a special sophistication to plum that is very appealing.
Shades of Plum Wedding Color – My first collage is “just plum”. The tablescape photo in the collage is a good one in which to see the range of plum shades. The colors range from the very dark plum in the flowers to the light plum in the tablecloth.
Plum and Gray Wedding Colors – This combination can be a good choice for winter, as shown in the photo of the bride with her bridesmaids. You can also use silver with the gray. 
Plum and Olive Wedding Colors – I admit that plum and olive is not a combination that is seen a lot, but it creates a refined and unique wedding palette. As I said at the beginning of this post, plum can create a sophisticated palette … and plum and olive illustrates sophistication to the max!
Plum and Orange Wedding Colors – For a stunning color palette for fall, you really can’t go wrong with plum and orange. Orange is somewhat expected for fall but the addition of plum takes it to a new level!

Well the plum and olive combo is gorgeous! I’m looking at plum and teal with a little gold thrown in for accent… but this olive has me thinking… 🙂 what would you recommend for the groom to wear? Not formal, so a suit or something of the like. Thank you! Love the blog!
Hi Emily, I’m so glad you enjoy the blog! The groom (and groomsmen) can wear whatever color suit is appropriate for the season and formality of the wedding. He can then coordinate with your colors with his tie (and pocket square if using one). Here is a link to a blog post that shows a peacock blue for the girls and the guys are in tan suits but they are wearing ties that have a stripe in peacock blue in them. If you could find a tie with teal and plum that would be perfect. Or even just one of the colors. Here are some examples: http://www.tieoutlet.com/J-67B-Teal-Green-Plum-and-Gray-Striped-Mens-Woven-Tie-_p_1477.html and http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1813384/marc-anthony-lustrous-solid-tie-men.jsp. Kohl’s has a really nice selection of ties. It looks like this might go with teal and plum: http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1816942/chaps-plaid-silk-tie-men.jsp
I do love the olive and plum. I think if your wedding is in the summer that the olive might be too dark but if your wedding is fall or winter, the plum with olive would be amazing.
Let me know what you end up doing!!
Best wishes!
